On February 8, Beijing time, after a 4-2 victory over Atletico, Barcelona returned to the Champions League zone, and there is no doubt that the addition of the four new signings in the winter window has brought qualitative changes to Barca. Barcelona, now at full power, are heading for next season's Champions League spot, and Xavi's side is fully capable of doing so after a series of reinforcements.
Among the four new signings, except for Aubameyang, who came off the bench in the second half, including Alves, Traore and Torres, all made their debuts in this match against Atletico, of which Alves and Traore made their Camp Nou debut after returning to Barca, and the performance of these two players in this game was amazing.
If it weren't for the red end in the second half, Alba's best of the game would most likely belong to Alves. Despite being nearly forty years old, Alves is still playing well on the right side, especially on the offensive end, assisting and scoring goals with both hands, and the right corridor he and Traore form is definitely a defensive nightmare for La Liga teams.
In the Premier League has proved his Traore not only enriched Barcelona's offensive routines, his emphasis on strength and speed of playing is also very uncomfortable for La Liga teams, it can be said that in the game against Atletico, Traore is the most active player on the offensive end. And Torres also brought changes to Barca, especially the side of the final stage of the second half even let us see the shadow of Neymar. As for Aubameyang, although he has the shortest appearance time, his role as a center forward is still well reflected, and with the addition of these four new signings, Barcelona's strength can be said to have been qualitatively improved.
