The FC Barcelona added a new victory in LaLiga the Saturday in front of the Celtic (1-2) in a very complicated party that marked the debut like titling of Vitor Roque in the tournament. Without Joao Félix (lesionado) and with Raphinha still far of his best version after his problem in the left thigh, Xavi Hernández gave to 'Tigrinho' a place in his XI, but the one of Timóteo could not take advantage of the opportunity.

The '18' began very active by left, generating a clear occasion in the beginning after a good pass filtered to Lamine Yamal that the canterano took advantage of to take out a finish cleared by Guaita. In the 21', the forward could not control a pass of Frenkie of Jong that would have left him hand manually with the Spanish goalkeeper. Roque Tried to save the action with a pass backwards to Lewandowski, but the Pole could not arrive to time.

Vitor Roque Went diluting in the middle of the disorder of the Barça

Afterwards, Vitor went back to fail in the control after a pass filtered of Pedri. To the Brazilian saw him a so much uncomfortable like second tip, unlike other parties in which it could mark difference playing to backs of 'Lewy'. In the complement, already with the party equalised, the Barça was chaotic by long stretches in where the team facilitated him the defensive work to the Galician group to the not finding clarity with Pedri.

In the 58', Xavi preferred to put to Raphinha in place of Roque to look for a reaction that never arrived. Of not being by the viveza of Lamine in the discount for propiciar the penalti of Fran García, the Barça hardly would have won in Vigo. At the end, 'Tigrinho' completed 8 of 12 passes (67 %), but only won 2 of 6 duels by low, with an infringement committed and a successful dribbling in three attempts (33 %).
