However, the good news was arriving this Tuesday, a few hours before the semifinal against Real Madrid, for the Spanish Super Cup. The striker was negative for COVID-19 and was qualified to make his official debut, causing much joy in the ‘Azulgrana’ fans.

Immediately, the Barcelona board decided to reveal some new details regarding the incorporation of Ferran Torres to the team. As it was known, the former Valencia player will wear the number 19, which was released after the retirement of Sergio Agüero. Recall that in the 2020-21 academic year, ‘Kun’ shared dressing rooms with a young footballer at Manchester City.

Finally, in addition to the authorization of the brand new signing ‘Culé’ and Pedri’s negative to coronavirus, Xavi Hernández will also be able to count on the presence of defender Ronald Araujo, midfielder Frenkie de Jong and attacker Ansu Fati, who recovered from their respective injuries.
