Barcelona’s start of the season in the Spanish League has been superb but they have suffered a setback in the Champions League after losing 3-2 against PSG and the arrival of Vermaelen can help the Spanish club when they perform in the European tournament and aid in their progression to the next stages of the Champions League.
