Oriol Romeu lived a real nightmare in Belgium against Royal Antwerp (3-2). The midfielder returned to the eleven and was directly responsible for the home team's first two goals. Depressed after his second error, Xavi chose to take him off in the 60th minute

In the middle of the rumours on his possible return in January to the Girona, Oriol Romeu completed his worst party in a lot of time the Wednesday in the Bosuilstadion of Amberes. The misfortune cebó with the one of Ulldecona at all more begin the party, when a pass of Iñaki Crag before fulfilling the second minute of game engaged him in exit. The '18' reacted late and Vermeeren took advantage of to recover and define in front of the Alicante goalkeeper.

In spite of the initial failure, the mediocentro of 32 years attained to keep the concentration and did not have more scandalous failures in the first part, although his performance was not, neither much less, remarkable. To the Barça cost him go out playing and, when the venues launched to the against, the team went back to lucir slow in the shrinking and, by moments, party. The presence of Romeu and Sergi Roberto in the medullary did not help too much to the culés and the 1-0 kept until Ferran equalised the actions in the 35'.

The second error of Oriol that it can have sentenced his future

The Barça went out without variants after the rest to look for the traced back, but another vase of cold water left in shock to the ones of Xavi Hernández in the minute 56. Another distraction of Romeu, this time with a balloon controlled in exit, did that Yusuf recovered near of the area to enable to Vincent Janssen that defined to pleasure in front of Iñaki Crag.

With his second failure, this last much more remarkable that the one of the beginning of the party, the technician egarense did not doubt in putting to Ílkay Gündogan in his place to avoid expose more to the '18'. Finally, the Barça finish losing with a goal of the juvenile frank-Nigerian George Ilenikhena in the 90+3' that consummated a regrettable performance of all the team, with Oriol like the main signalled.
