Zapping But! Football Club FC Barcelona: the biggest disappointments of the decade in the Champions League
Ilias Akhomach could well be the surprise guest of Xavi’s 11 this season. Fellow Moroccan Abdessamad Ezzalzouli was much more prominent in the end of Ronald Koeman’s tenure before being obliterated by Dembele’s return. Yet Xavi has not forgotten his winger.
According to Sport, Akhomach, 18, will have his shirt with the reserve as well as with the pros next season. Xavi is counting on the crack of La Masia who could have opportunities if nothing progresses in the Barcelona transfer window.
Right winger: position to be filled
The winger position, dominating in Xavi’s 4-3-3, is not a priority compared to the Kounde, Lewandowski or Bernardo Silva files, but Dembele has never been so close to the start and the Raphinha file is complicated .
The U19 international has only played 3 matches with the professional team so far but Ilias Akhomach has a card to play this season as a right winger. After Ansu Fati, Pedri, Gavi or even Nico, a new kid could surprise Camp Nou.

to summarize
Ilias Akhomach could have opportunities this season. Xavi is counting on him while waiting for the Raphinha and Dembele cases to unfold. The Moroccan will do the pre-season with the A and will be entitled to his jersey with the pro team. If nothing moves forward for Dembele and Raphinha, Akhomach will have a card to play with Xavi as the right winger.
