Barcelona fans praise breakthrough youngster during Alavés clash
Barcelona fans praise breakthrough youngster during Alavés clash Supporters of La Liga champions Barcelona have on Wednesday moved to reveal their collective appreciation for the talents of a fresh breakthrough talent at the club. The player in question? Álvaro Cortés.
Barcelona are of course currently locked in action, on the domestic front. Fresh off clinching the La Liga title last weekend, the Blaugrana have made the trip to Vitoria-Gasteiz, for a meeting with Deportivo Alavés. With his side’s campaign, from a competitive standpoint, now all but complete, Hansi Flick opted to shake up his starting XI for the evening.
This gave rise to a first-ever senior Barcelona start for the aforementioned Álvaro Cortés. And as alluded to above, to this point in proceedings, the young stopper has left fans of the club altogether impressed. From his berth at the heart of the visitors’ backline, Cortés has not looked at all out of place, confident on both sides of the ball.
So much so that calls have already begun to spread for the 21-year-old to be afforded a permanent first-team berth at the Spotify Camp Nou next season. Conor Laird – GSFN
