Historically, the real differential fact that Barça always had with respect to any other club was to excite like no one else with the signings. That the League did not fall? Well after a while here came the Cruyff, Schuster, Maradona, Ronaldo, Rivaldo…. Then you won or not – many times it was that you didn’t – but that these were the good ones, that was not disputed by anyone who went to the Camp Nou every Sunday. More recently there were traumas that provoked strange compulsive reactions: Figo left for Madrid and Barça went crazy with Overmarch y Petit, irrelevant figures in the club’s memory were it not for their cost. Then it happened Neymar and the known substitutes are today one of the burdens that explain why Barça can no longer be the differential fact. Therefore, even in the event that one day Thebes open your hand, at the Camp Nou they would do well to count to a thousand before signing, no matter how much ‘la 14’ has fallen. Because it is one thing to mortgage the future for Maradona and another, for Raphinha.
