GOAL-KEEPER
Marc-Andre Ter Stegen
He is a German footballer who joined Barcelona in 2014 and made his debut in 2012 for his national side. He also won 3 trophies with Barcelona in his first season.
He was also the part of his national side when Germany reached the semi-finals of Euro 2016. He signed a five -year contract with Barcelona until 2019 and in 2017 he again signed a new contract with Barcelona until 2022.
DEFENCE
Nelson Semedo, Gerard Pique, Samuel Umtiti and Jordi Alba
There should not be any concerns regarding the defence, it looks unbeatable with the two World Cup winners and a one time Euro Cup winner. Both Gerard Pique and Samuel Umtiti were the part of their national side Spain (2010) and France (2018) respectively.
Pique who also won the 2012 Euro Cup title for Spain along with Jordi Alba is the most experienced among the defenders in the club.
MIDFIELD
Ivan Rakitic, Sergio Busquets, Arturo Vidal and Ousmane Dembele
Barcelona has a very good midfield. The best thing about their midfield is the coordination between each among the midfielders. Their midfield has two World Cup winners Sergio Busquets and Ousmane Dembele.
Sergio Busquets helped Spain to win their first FIFA World Cup title in 2010 and the 2nd Euro Cup title in 2012. He also represented Spain in two other World Cups and 2016 Euro Cup.
Ousmane Dembele, a French midfielder who won the 2018 FIFA World Cup title for his national side is one of the key players of the club. And, the presence of the Croatian midfielder Ivan Rakitic makes the team more strong.
ATTACK
Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez both have together made sure that the absence of Neymar is not felt in attack. Saurez, who is from Uruguay, made his debut for Barcelona in 2014 against their arch-rivals Real Madrid and he is also known for his accurate crosses.
At the age of 18, Messi made his debut for Barcelona in 2005 against Juventus and impressed the management with his dribbling skills. He also won 9 La Liga titles, 3 UEFA Super Cups, 3 FIFA Club World Cups and many more titles for his club so far. Individually, he is the record holder for most Ballon d'Or wins with 5 Ballon d'Or awards along with Ronaldo.
