FIFA 19: Barcelona Player Ratings


The Catalan giants are one of the most storied football clubs in the world. With world class players littered throughout their history and 25 La Liga titles to their name, Barcelona are arguably the most popular team in world. Their rivalry with Real Madrid is legendary, and their recent European success has taken their tally of Champion's League titles to 5.

Under Ernesto Valverde Barcelona won La Liga last season by 14 points, losing just one league game all year. In 2018 they are once again targeting success at the domestic and continental level. They've strengthened their squad over the summer with the signing of Malcom (£41m) from Bordeaux and Clement Lenglet (£35.9m), but their success will rest on the shoulders of the legendary Lionel Messi.
