Who are Barcelona’s 2 first-choice centre-backs? | OneFootball

An insight into the central defensive pecking order at La Liga champions Barcelona has this weekend been forthcoming online.

This comes amid confirmation that, amid the ongoing battle for places at the heart of his backline, Hansi Flick currently sees two players as above the rest.

The pair in question? Pau Cubarsí, and Eric García.

The former, despite his tender years, has of course long boasted starter status in Catalunya’s capital, considered Barcelona’s defensive leader of the future.

Eric, on the other hand, has emerged as something of a surprise package this season, with his stellar performances making the Spaniard a mainstay in the eyes of manager Flick.

This means that Ronald Araújo and Andreas Christensen are left to battle for the remaining centre-back minutes, with the former having been favoured over recent weeks.

As per Diario Sport, with all of this in mind, Deco and co. have long kicked into gear a search for fresh blood at the back for next summer.
