Despite a disappointing 2-1 loss to Inter Club D’Escaldes in Andorra, FCSB advanced to the Champions League second qualifying round and will face Shkendija on July 22. Former international and TV analyst Ilie Dumitrescu praised several players from the Andorran champions, specifically highlighting 31-year-old Spanish right-back Joseba Muguruza as a solid candidate for transfer to FCSB and Superliga. Muguruza, valued at around €200,000, impressed by providing two assists in the tie and could strengthen FCSB’s defensive options ahead of tougher competition. Dumitrescu’s recommendation points to FCSB’s need to bolster their squad depth following a nervy first qualifying round qualifier[2][3].
