Munir was classy enough not to celebrate his goal against Barcelona

Barcelona made a few questionable signings this summer, the most questionable one being that of Paco Alcacer. While there is no doubt about the ability of Paco Alcacer, did Barcelona go fishing in someone else’s pond when the fish in their pond was good enough? The Catalans have been loaning some of their best youngsters in the recent years but is it the right way forward?

Munir was slowly improving as a striker and had a great pre-season. In fact, the youngster scored in Barcelona’s Supercopa fixture. Paco Alcacer, on the other hand, hasn’t yet opened his account for Barcelona and is struggling to find the back of the net.

While the players do get valuable time on the pitch, trusting their players – especially someone who has come from their academy – is something Barcelona have always done and the change is contrary to their tradition.
