Barcelona president Bartomeu: Squad is being rejuvenated

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu addressed members during the General Assembly on Sunday - assuring that the squad is being rejuvenated.

Bartomeu reassured them that the club was in a healthy way despite the Champions League semi-final disappointments of the last two seasons.

The Blaugrana president emphasised that the Catalans had eclipsed their nearest rivals in terms of trophies won in recent years, with 34 trophies since 2004.

That's more than Bayern Munich (27), FC Porto (21) and Real Madrid (20).

"We are winners," said Bartomeu who stressed that 20 of those titles were under his spell as president.

"We are living up to our dimension," he said.

"We have to continue renovating the squad to continue with this natural evolution with talent from both home and abroad.

"We are sure this will be a winning generation," he added, mentioning the likes of Ansu Fati, Carles Perez, Ansu Fati, Abel Ruiz and Alex Collado.
