I never understood why Navarro had to leave. He was as good as Gio and Sylvinho.
This will probably sound blasphemous coming for a Barcelona fan, but the omission of Raul from the squad is a sin! You've got to give the man his due. It's a clear slap in the face to Raul from Aragones. If Aragones had been more concerned about putting together the strongest team possible, instead of holding onto a grudge, he would have included Raul on the squad. Period!
