Barcelona Signals European Ambitions: Cancelo to Be Registered for Champions League Run

Barcelona to include Cancelo in European squad

The Portuguese full-back is waiting for Barcelona to qualify for European competition.

A Spanish newspaper report confirmed today that Barcelona has decided to register Joao Cancelo in the Champions League squad.

Barcelona signed Cancelo in January on loan from Al Hilal, until the end of the current season.

According to the Catalan newspaper Sport, Barcelona will register Cancelo in the European list for the knockout rounds if the team advances.

Cancelo has played one match for Barcelona, a 2-1 defeat to Real Sociedad.

Barça are preparing to face Slavia Prague tomorrow, Wednesday, in the seventh match of the Champions League group stage.

Barça sit fifteenth in the table with 10 points, while Slavia Prague occupy 33rd place with 3 points.

Punchline 1: Barca's transfer policy—borrow now, worry about the return ticket later. It’s called risk management with a fancy jersey.

Punchline 2: If jokes were goals, Barça would be top of the league—just don’t ask the referee for the laugh track.
