The first choice Barcelona XI chosen by Ernesto Valverde

#5 Munir

AC Milan v FC Barcelona - International Champions Cup 2018
Munir

Another Barca youth product, Munir made his first team debut in 2014 when he was just 18 years old. He showed great potential when he was brought into the team by then coach Luis Enrique, and was expected to lead the Barca front line in a few years.

Four years later, after spending a couple of loan spells at Valencia and Deportivo Alaves, Munir has returned to the club. Though he hasn't progressed as well as Barcelona would have wanted him to, he is still a very good striker with a great left foot.

With the sale of Paco Alcacer, Munir remains the only out and out backup for Luis Suarez. Valverde will be looking to give the 31 year old Suarez lots of rest to keep him fresh for the important games, and Munir would want to stake a claim as the future first choice number 9.
