The Catalan giants swept to Liga glory last term in remarkable fashion, losing just one game all season, and it will be interesting to see if the new additions can help the club maintain their level of domination.
In the absence of established stars such as Messi and Luis Suarez, pre-season was disappointing in terms of results, with underwhelming displays against Tottenham, and AC Milan, but Valverde will be pleased by the contribution of the likes of Rafinha and Munir, who are out to prove a point after spending the bulk of last season on loan.
Places are certainly up for grabs ahead of the Liga opener against Alaves next week and the Barca boss will be demanding a strong showing against Sevilla in Tangiers as he finalises his plans for the season ahead.
