What if the destiny of FC Barcelona was linked to that of Ivory Coast?
In its history, FC Barcelona has won the Champions League five times. The first time was in 1992, at Wembley, against Sampadoria Genoa, under the leadership of Johan Cruyff. The last victory in this prestigious competition dates back to 2015, against Juventus Turin, with Luis Enrique at the helm.
1992 also corresponds to the year when Ivory Coast won its first African Cup of Nations, after an unbearable penalty shootout in the final against Ghana. The Elephants had to wait until 2015 to lift this trophy again, against the same opponent. Before winning the competition again this year, in a rather miraculous way. As one Internet user points out, Barça could experience a similar trajectory by winning the Champions League, the final of which will take place on June 1 at Wembley.
Lewandowski promises a title
To achieve this, the Catalan club will already have to get out of Naples to reach the quarter-finals of the C1. “ I think it’s the perfect time to win matches and improve ourselves, declared Robert Lewandowski on Thursday, on the sidelines of the closing ceremony of the 18th edition of Histoires Solidaires du Sport, of which he is the godfather. We are going to Vigo and then we will play in the Champions League. Little by little, we will gain strength. »
“Hopefully at the end of the season we can be happy with what we did. I am sure we will win a lot of matches and also the Champions League. In the end, we will gain something”promises the Polish striker, already the author of 18 goals this season in all competitions.
