For some time now, the Barcelona has already become a unpredictable entity. This characteristic has been seen in recent times at a exponential speed. If this unpredictability is joined by the interim We will achieve a cocktail that must be put to the test tonight at the Camp Nou (9:00 p.m. Movistar LaLiga) with Sergi Barjuan officiating as a prologue to the new era that must begin at the Camp Nou as soon as it lands Xavi Hernandez.
