Barcelona have been criticized for their performances this season, with leading scorer Roberto's performance slipping, which has caused much concern among fans. However, Brazilian starlet Diego Loki, who was brought in at a premium last summer, landed strongly at the Nou Camp in January, with Barcelona announcing on Tuesday (2) that he will be wearing the No. 19 kit and is expected to feature against Las Palmas! The former Paranhens director was full of praise for the player, calling him the "new goalkeeper" who is expected to be Barcelona's savior!
Barcelona spent over €60 million to bring in Diego Loki in pre-season, only to leave him at Paranhens to hone his skills. With Roberto's form slipping, Barcelona recalled Diego Loki early this month at the strong request of Xavi. Diego Loki said, "It's incredible to join Barcelona, I've been a Barcelona fan since I was a kid, I have many idols, Neymar, Romario, Ronaldo, Ronaldo Luis, they are all great role models."
