Antonio Alvarez Henriques, the current head of the FC Barcelona SC and a candidate for the president of the club, in response to a fan’s comment on a social network His team’s goal will always be the Libertadores

“Barcelona SC was made for the Libertadores,” was the reply the manager gave to the fan, however, another told him his team should be fighting for tournaments like the Ecuadorian Cup.

And Alvarez insisted on the above and even cited the example that Spain’s Sevilla would like to trade their Europa League titles for the Champions League.

“Constantly. Everything has to be fought for. But ask Sevilla if they are trading their seven Europa Leagues for the Champions League and see what they tell you,” he said.

“Everyone in Barcelona must know that the Copa Libertadores is our number one goal, nothing about Sudamericanas or other championships. We will fight for the Copa Libertadores every year,” he added.

The leader indicated that the entire administration, coaching staff and players know that the goal is to reach the competition that eluded the yellows in 1990 and 1998.

“Everyone, and all Barcelona fans should know that and be very clear about it. The coaching staff already knows it, the players already know it, the leaders already know it,” he said.

“Every year, the first short-term goal is the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores de América,” concluded Alvarez. (D)
