Many Barca fans are dreaming of Jurgen Klopp's Blaugrana takeover following his decision to leave Liverpool after nine years.
The German has clarified he would love to distract from coaching for a year, so we've imagined what his Barcelona lineup could be in 2025.
Goalkeeper: Marc-Andre ter Stegen
Having a reliable shotstopper is crucial – Klopp could spend hours recalling how Alisson saved his team multiple times during games.
MATS is just 31, so he surely has a few years of quality football ahead.
Right-back: Joao Cancelo
Like Trent Alexander-Arnold, the Portuguese is way more helpful offensively than defensively – he would be one of Barca's main creators under Klopp.
Centre-backs: Ronald Araujo and Jules Kounde
Araujo and Kounde are two outstanding defenders, no way Klopp would give up on any of them, even despite their recent form.
If the two recover their best form, they will be even more solid than prime Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk!
Left-back: Alejandro Balde
The left-back's actions on the pitch may seem too straightforward, but that's exactly what Klopp needs to emulate the success of his Liverpool team.
Balde would really need to improve his crossing, though, to be compared to Andrew Robertson.
Defensive midfielder: Douglas Luiz
Recently wanted by Liverpool, the Aston Villa star has also been linked with Barcelona as Deco is said to be a big fan of the 25-year-old.
The Brazilian would be a massive addition as he's a midfielder Barca need: physically-gifted, vital in the build-up play with his forward runs, passing and long balls, important on set pieces.
Central midfielders: Gavi and Pedri
Douglas Luiz aside, Jurgen Klopp would need even more combative midfielders on his team. Gavi could be the key player of his project as the one who covers plenty of space and wins lots of duels every time.
As always, Pedri would complement him well in a more creative role.
Right winger: Mohamed Salah
Mo's current deal with Liverpool is up in 2025 and it's unclear yet where the Egyptian King will end up afterwards despite the recent Saudi links.
Taking Salah to Barcelona means Klopp would get Blaugrana the first ready-made superstar since Leo Messi. Even if in the short term, this would be a boost on all levels.
Left winger: Luis Diaz
The Colombian's father has revealed his son's dream of becoming a Barca player one day – Klopp's arrival would be the best time to fulfill it.
Sometimes it feels Diaz's spark is what Blaugrana need on the left wing: pacy, skillful, with an ability to win duels against any defender, Luis can be really crucial to this team.
Striker: Lamine Yamal
It's not necessary to be an incredibly-prolific striker to play under Jurgen Klopp.
Like Roberto Firmino, the youngster would play an important role in the buildup and focus on improving chemistry with the other forwards, forming an unstoppable frontline trio.
Barca XI: Ter Stegen; Cancelo, Araujo, Kounde, Balde; Gavi, Douglas Luiz, Pedri; Salah, Yamal, Diaz.
