Oriol Romeu was a substitute in the first Clásico of the season (1-2) and, when he came on, he could not help FC Barcelona regain control of the midfield in the final stretch. The Catalan had several inaccuracies and agreed with Xavi for his replacement
The FC Barcelona could not sustain the invicto this season in the Classical in front of the Real Madrid (1-2), a party that evidenció, again, the bad moment that crosses Oriol Romeu. The mediocentro began very well the season, but has left a lot of doubts in his last performances and, in front of the 'merengues', could not be the revulsivo in the mark that Xavi Hernández expected.
Romeu Replaced to Fermín López in the minute 72, just after the first goal of Jude Bellingham to equalise the party. The egarense looked for to reorganise the centre of the field and give safe exit to a team that had lost the possession and the calm that showed during the first hour of game. However, the one of Uldecoma lució nervous and had some imprecisions that could cost faces, although it did not have any responsibility in the so much that supposed the defeat culé in the 90+2'.
Romeu Could not reorganise to the Barça in the final stretch
Xavi preferred to put to Gavi of pivote from the start, with Fermín and Gündogan like interiors. With the entry of Oriol, the míster of Terrassa looked for to balance an eleven that accused the wear and the fault of spare in the final stretch, but the canterano could not fulfil with his have to. In 18 minutes, Romeu completed 17 passes, with an efficiency of the 82.3 %. Besides, it finished in an opportunity, diverted and committed a dangerous fault to the edge of the area.
Of his imprecisions, the most worrisome arrived in the 89'. Oriol erró a pass to Gündogan in exit and Vinicius took advantage of to recover and encarar. Luckily for the Barça, Andreas Christensen reacted to time to block the advance of the Brazilian. At the end, Bellingham went back to 'wet' in the 90+2' and the Madrid remained with the three points without deserving it. The Barça remains, for now, fourth and to four points of the leadership. The next day touches the Real Sociedad, a party where, if it reappears Frenkie of Jong, surely Romeu will go back to be acting.
