Alexis told me about the project, the fans and everything. I asked Abidal, he told me that the club was fantastic, that the fans are incredible and they live well in the city and it made me want to come here “, Fekir assured about his arrival in 2019, in which the references that the former sports director of FC Barcelona and his compatriot gave him had a lot of influence, Eric Abidal.

The one in LaLiga was not good. Everyone knows it. We are looking forward to Saturday. For me, goals are lacking, there is always room for improvement. I am a player who always want more.
