Barcelona president Joan Laporta says the club is entering a new phase of football after the departure of players who “defined an era”.
Speaking about the changing generations in the game, Laporta said: “The players who defined an era have left now others are coming.”
Barcelona lead the La Liga table after winning all seven of their opening matches. Hansi Flick’s side have 21 points, five clear of their nearest challengers, Atletico and Real Betis, who have 16 points each.
Barcelona will host Getafe in their eighth league fixture. The match will take place on 10 October, with kick-off scheduled for 19:30 Moscow time.
