Without further ado, let’s take a look at the top stories involving Barcelona from 8 December 2020.
Cadiz manager takes dig at Ronald Koeman after shock win
Freshly promoted Cadiz handed Barcelona their fourth loss of the season on Saturday. They registered a 2-1 win over Barcelona at the Estadio Ramón de Carranza and now their manager has taken a sly dig at Koeman for having played Coutinho ahead of Dembele.
Cervera said,
Coutinho was proven to be ineffective in the first half and was taken off for Dembele in the second. However, the Frenchman ended up picking up a hamstring injury which will now see him spend a while on the sidelines.
Cervera was amused by yet another decision of Koeman’s which he believes worked in their favour.
Miralem Pjanic says he does not understand why he is not playing
After joining from Juventus, midfielder Miralem Pjanic has seen game time come at a premium at Barcelona under Ronald Koeman. Pjanic was initially sidelined after suffering from Covid-19 and missing the pre-season. However, he continues to be absent from the starting lineup despite being in training for way over two months now.
Pjanic told Gazzetta dello Sport:
Barcelona to offer Coutinho in exchange for Dybala
According to reports, Barcelona are keen on bringing Paulo Dybala to the Camp Nou and could offer Philippe Coutinho in exchange for his services. Barcelona have previously shown interest in Paulo Dybala but Juventus have always rejected their advances.
However, Dybala has now fallen down the pecking order under Andrea Pirlo after performing poorly and hence, the deal looks more plausible than ever now.
