It's anything but a simple undertaking however they're gaining fine headway. Xavi has assembled a group that is playing alluring yet focused football, something supported by the staggering, controlled 4-0 gutting of Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu last week.

There's far to go before the Blaugrana recapture their place among the genuine tip top of European football, obviously, yet they're getting their little by little. Barcelona are as of now third in La Liga, pursuing down Sevilla in runner up, and will take on Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarter-last of the Europa League.

In an elite meeting with Sid Lowe of The Guardian, Cruyff opened up on life back at Camp Nou and the most common way of remaking Barcelona; the club his dad will always be associated with.

Cruyff made sense of that, albeit the January move market is challenging to work, Barcelona made a cognizant strategy of marking Premier League players. This was proven in their acquisitions of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Adama Traore and Ferran Torres.

"The colder time of year market is troublesome on the grounds that clubs won't advance you an ordinary starter," Cruyff said. "You have players who are not playing so much yet the Premier League is a high rhythm, all the more genuinely serious, that the player who has been there a couple of years has obtained specific propensities, conditions. It isn't so much that we could never have taken a gander at a decent player from another association, however it was more secure from England since you realize they have the power implicit. It wasn't the key however it was a helpful reward."
