Barcelona have confirmed their squad numbers for the forthcoming season, with summer signing Denis Suarez claiming the No.6 shirt.
It was the number previously worn by Dani Alves, and the other new additions to Barca’s ranks this summer all scoop shirts that were previously claimed last term. Andre Gomes, for example, will be see in No.21, which was Adriano’s shirt last term.
Lucas Digne, meanwhile, will take the No.19 shirt with fellow France international Samuel Umtiti to wear 23 – the numbers owned by Sandro and Thomas Vermaelen last term. Interestingly, these are the figures they had at previous clubs Valencia and Lyon.
There are no changes elsewhere, with the MSN trio of Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi and Neymar continuing to monopolise the 9, 10 & 11 jerseys.
