BARCELONA - France defender Samuel Umtiti shared his sorrow with the mourning families of the victims of the Nice terror attack as he was officially presented as a Barcelona player on Friday. "There were a lot of victims, I'm very sad for all the families who were affected by what happened yesterday." But I have lofty ambitions, I don't want to hide, I'm a player, I'm a competitor." Barcelona on Tuesday concluded a deal worth 25 million euros ($27.7 million) to sign Umtiti from Lyon on a five-year deal. However, he will face stiff competition for playing time at Barcelona from Gerard Pique, Javier Mascherano and France team-mate Jeremy Mathieu.
