The Barça team leaves for the international break with unbeatable feelings after gaining access to the Europa League quarterfinals, beating Galatasaray AS in the return leg (1-2) after drawing (0-0) in the first leg and giving an exhibition (0-4) in Real Madrid’s feud in LaLiga.
In addition to these results, with seven wins and a draw in the last eight games, another way to summarize the good form of Xavi Hernández’s pupils is to see the number of footballers who receive the call from their respective countries. 11 of the 30 members of the first squad will be in the calls for the following senior teams:
Die Mannschaft has called up Marc-André Ter Stegen for the German team’s two friendlies, which will host Israel and visit the Netherlands. Hansi Flick’s men will not participate in the European play-off for a place in the World Cup, since they sealed their presence by leading Group J in the qualifying phase.
The Canarinha has called up Daniel Alves for the remaining two matches in CONMEBOL, which will take Brazil to host Chile and visit Bolivia. The right back and his teammates achieved the mathematical classification days ago.

The Africans face the last round for a place in the next edition of the World Cup. To achieve this, they must prevail in the double tie against the Democratic Republic of the Congo, first in Kinshasa and then in Casablanca. For these commitments, Abdessamad Ezzalzouli, better known as Ez Abde.
The Orange team will receive Denmark and Germany in two friendly matches. They will not have to play for a place in the next World Cup in the play-offs, since they managed to qualify by leading Group G. For these two commitments they have called up Frenkie De Jong and Memphis Depay.
The Red will play at home against Albania and Iceland in two friendly matches. Luis Enrique’s men will not have to play for access to the World Cup, since they achieved it by leading Group B.
