Barça face biggest exodus

Sergi Nogueras


Of the three teams still in with a shout of the league title, Barça is the one that will be missing most players to internationals this week. 13 Barça players will be away, compared to 9 each from Real Madrid and Sevilla.


The league may be taking a break this week, but that will not be the case for most of the players. Four more Barça players are off on international duty than either of the club’s main title rivals will be missing. However, the negative effects on these teams are likely to be much the same, and none of the trio will be able to train with their full squads until Thursday of next week.

Plenty of variety

Barça have players representing nine different countries (Spain, Cameroon, France, Argentina, Iceland, Portugal, Holland, Italy and Brazil). meanwhile Reial Madrid has six (Spain, Brazil, Italy, England, Argentina and Mali) and Sevilla eight (Spain, Brazil, France, Portugal, Denmark, Russia and Mali).
