Summary
Ahead of Barcelona's Champions League title defence opener against Paris FC on Wednesday, Pere Romeu made a bold claim about the Ballon d'Or race. With six Barcelona players among the finalists, the coach argued that one of them should win, citing their individual quality, performances and trophy haul over recent years.
On the injury front, Romeu expects Irene Paredes to be available and remains confident Aitana Bonmatí will return soon, though she continues her recovery work. Kika Nazareth and Vicky López are ruled out of the Paris match.
