The step from the Mestalla to Camp Nou has been complicated for the duo, especially for the forward

Barcelona continue their fight for three titles - La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League.

That is to say that they will have at least 15 games more, which could be 18 if they can reach the Champions League final on June 3 in Cardiff. 

It's evident in the coming three months Barcelona will need all their resources to keep competitive on three frnts and Luis Enrique will no doubt use his whole squad - opening up opportunities for the likes of Paco Alcacer and Andre Gomes. 

The step from the Mestalla to Camp Nou has been complicated for the duo, especially for the forward who has barely featured thanks to the presence of the MSN. 

DIFFICULT SITUATION

With Luis Suarez suspended, Alcacer has a good chance of starting the Copa del Rey final against Alaves on May 27. He has participated in 17 of Barcelona's 44 games this season, playing 853 minutes of the 3,960 possible - 21.5 per cent, adding 3 goals and 2 assists. In 2015-16 with Valencia he played 46 of 58 games, scoring 15 and providing 8. Paco has had to deal with the pressure of the bench at Camp Nou. He had a bad debut in a 2-1 defeat by Alaves, and from there went months until he scored.

INCONSISTENT GOMES

He had a terrible game against PSG in the 4-0 defeat and the fans turned on him after that. While at Valencia he was untouchable, at Barcelona he is punished by the hierarchy of Busquets, Rakitic and Iniesta. He has played 34 games, providing 2 assists in 1,987 minutes. For Valencia he played 41 games, scoring 4 and setting up 7 in 3,044 minutes.
