Barcelona’s New Signing Vitor Roque Inherits Messi’s No.19 Shirt
Barcelona has officially unveiled their latest signing, Vitor Roque, who is set to follow in the footsteps of the legendary Lionel Messi by wearing the No.19 shirt at Camp Nou. The Brazilian forward completed his move from Athletico Paranaense and is gearing up to impact the remainder of the season significantly.
Lionel Messi, linked with the No. 10 jersey, had once donned the No.19 in his early days at Barcelona before switching to his iconic number after the departure of Ronaldinho. Now, it’s Vitor Roque’s turn to carry on the legacy associated with this revered number.
Barcelona, currently facing a seven-point deficit behind league leaders Girona after 18 games, is hopeful that Roque’s addition will provide a much-needed boost. The team has struggled in front of goal this season, with Robert Lewandowski leading the charts with eight goals, followed by Ferran Torres with just three.
Midfielder Franck Kessie previously wore the No.19 shirt at Barcelona, and it has also been adorned by the likes of Ferran Torres, Sergio Aguero, and Martin Braithwaite in recent seasons. Having already trained with Xavi’s squad, Roque is eager to make his debut and contribute to Barcelona’s resurgence in La Liga.
The defending champions are gearing up for their first fixture of 2024 against Las Palmas, where fans will eagerly watch to see how Roque fits into the squad and if he can make an immediate impact. As Barcelona strives to climb the league table, introducing Vitor Roque could be the key to turning around their underwhelming start to the season.
In a season where goals have been hard to come by, Roque’s arrival is anticipated to inject fresh energy and goal-scoring prowess into Xavi’s side. Barcelona fans will hope that the new No.19 can create his legacy and contribute to the team’s success as they aim to reclaim their status as La Liga champions. However, the Argentina National Football Team has already given a statement saying that they will retire the number 10 jersey after Lionel Messi’s retirement. Many Barcelona fans wanted it because they all still love Messi.
