Finally settled into Barcelona team Coutinho is ready to amaze his country and nation to have a wonderful performance in his future games.
Group F
The goalkeeper Marc Andre Ter-Stegen of Barcelona will be playing in group F for Russia. The German stot-stopper may not be Russia’s first choice, but he deserves the spot given the fact that Manuel Neuer has not been in football field for over 6 months.
Group G
Being a former captain of the Arsenal Thomas Varmaelen has a reputation and he is the only player in group G for Barcelona. Having featured many times for Barcelona this season he is quite a reliable player given that he was the one who took over during the injury of Samuel Umiti and able to set in Barca’s unbeaten run.
Group H
Final in the list is Yerry Mina, Barcelona signed the Colombian defender last Junary during the transfer wndow and he complements to make Barcelona to have player in each group in the World Cup this summer.
Having said that they will have players in every group its quite interesting if we see them all in the higher rankings to show that the Barcelona Squad has some dominance over the World Cup 2018, but all in all this will be a season we look forward to having entertaining games.
