Barcelona are in an excellent phase, and everything around the club is giving rise to optimism.

Firstly, the club is central to Spain’s major success, with several internationals in its squad, and secondly, Rodri and Laporte could come in to add further strength to an already top-class group.

On top of that, four international players have reported back before the holiday period ended, something that was not expected at Barca’s Ciutat Esportiva.

Gavi returned a few days ago, Anthony Gordon has also shortened his break to come back early, and the latest two to do so have been “the Garcias.”

Eric Garcia and Joan Garcia, world champions with Spain, are already back in training.
