In Stellar Form and Ready: Xavi Calls Up Filial’s Goal Machine Pau Víctor Again

Pau Víctor, the prolific striker from Barcelona’s reserve team, has once again earned a spot in the first-team squad, showcasing his impressive form. Xavi has included the top scorer in the list, repeating the decision from the previous matchday, and Pau Víctor won’t be featuring for Barça Atlètic in today’s clash against Sabadell at 18:00 hours.

In yesterday’s press conference, Xavi emphasized Pau Víctor’s qualities, stating, “Pau Víctor is a versatile player who can play in all three forward positions. He is a player who makes good runs, has a goal-scoring instinct, is smart, and is currently in excellent form. Although he hasn’t made his debut yet, he is ready.”

Xavi closely monitors the performance of the forward, who has been instrumental for the reserve team, evident in his impressive statistics of 12 goals and 3 assists in 20 matches.

The outstanding contributions of the striker, on loan from Girona, have led Barcelona to seriously consider exercising the purchase option. The club secured the option to make the striker’s move permanent for three million euros this summer.

With attacking players like Ferran Torres and Joao Felix sidelined due to injuries, along with Vitor Roque serving a suspension, Pau Víctor has found his way into the squad. The list also includes Marc Guiu, who has previously showcased his ability to make a difference with decisive goals for the first team.
