At just 21 years old, Bradley Barcola has been quietly building his reputation at Paris Saint-Germain. A product of the Olympique Lyonnais academy, he’s been catching the eye with his performances, especially in recent months. With three goals and seven assists in 35 appearances across various competitions, Barcola’s rise has been steady but unmistakable. His standout display in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Barcelona highlighted his potential on the big stage.
International recognition beckons
Despite his impressive club form, Bradley Barcola has yet to receive the call-up he desires to the French national team. Instead, during the March international break, he found himself representing the U21 side. While this was a step in the right direction, there’s growing speculation that his breakthrough into the senior squad might be imminent.
Euro 2024: A chance on the horizon
With Euro 2024 looming, whispers are circulating about Barcola’s potential inclusion in the Les Bleus squad. The recent injury to Kingsley Coman, the Bayern Munich winger, has opened up opportunities for new talent to shine. Barcola’s consistent performances and versatility make him a compelling candidate to fill the void left by Coman’s absence. As Didier Deschamps ponders his selection, all eyes are on whether Barcola’s name will be on the roster for the summer tournament in Germany.
