Rakitic: Fair clearly won the starting opportunity, but I think Ormo is the first choice

September 19th In the first round of the Champions League, Barcelona defeated Newcastle 2-1 away. Former Barcelona midfielder Rakitic commented on the game on Kobe Radio, and the Croatian officially announced his retirement a few months ago.

When asked about Frick's roster choice at St James Park Stadium, Rakitic said: "Fer clearly won the starting opportunity, although I still stick to my point of view. For me, Olmo should start. Indeed, Fermin's performance in recent games makes him worthy of this position."

The former Barcelona player made it clear that "in the past, Barcelona has proven that they have a strong lineup and a good team atmosphere. This will not change anything."

Rakitic understands that he has a starting opportunity due to Fermin's outstanding performance on the court recently, but stressed: "I believe that when Olmo fully recovers, he will be one of the 11 starters."
