FC Barcelona: Five Conclusions from Their Thiago Alcantara-Inspired Audi Cup Win

"Last season, many people argued that, while Barcelona had the world's greatest starting XI, they did not have squad depth. They obviously couldn't be more wrong.

The Audi Cup once again showed that Pep Guardiola has several reliable and quality reserves he can call upon at any time.

Players like Thiago Alcantara, Jonathan dos Santos, Seydou Keita, Jonathan Soriano, Fontás, etc...have once again proved they're more than capable squad players, with the likes of Jonathan and especially Thiago likely to become much more in the near future.

When players like Javier Mascherano and Alexis Sanchez join the team, not only will Barcelona have the greatest XI in the world but also some spectacular depth in every position."
