On the international front, Barcola turned out four times for the France Under-21 side during UEFA Under-21 Championship qualification.
What it means for Liverpool
The volume of minutes Barcola racked up in 2025 suggests a player accustomed to featuring across a broad range of competitions, from domestic league football to continental and global club tournaments.
