Time for Barcelona's key players

In football, what is bad one day may be good the next. For Barcelona, the Champions League feels like the only lifeline capable of keeping afloat a project that has gone from bad to worse this season.

Setién intends to get the best out of every player with the target of the Champions League on the horizon. And, for that reason, Barcelona expect a step forward from the main leaders in the squad.

Nothing is being demanded from Messi, everyone is aware that the Argentine always appears. But there are other players that both the coaching staff and fans expect more of, starting in the match against Napoli.

This is the case with Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets, and Luis Suárez. The first two were in evidence in the last two editions of the Champions League. Their performance wasn't positive at all in the hurtful defeats against Roma and Liverpool, although with Setién it seems that they have improved.

There are more doubts about Luis Suárez, who is already weighed down by age. The numbers, in addition, are not accompanying him, nor are his goal statistics away from home in the Champions League, which he will try to break so that the weight of scoring does not fall solely on Messi.
