Memphis Depay did not 'fail' Xavi and vindicated himself on his return to Barça's eleven

Memphis Depay Has been one of the big protagonists of the victory of the FC Barcelona on the RCD Mallorca. It opened the marker in the equator of the first part and left very good feelings in the return to a titularity, with several approaches to the area of Sergio Rico and pushing to his to the attack when the party more seemed atascado.

It played by the left extreme and the danger of the Barça during the greater part of the party was born from his band. It was hit in his decisions and left clear that is in conditions to play more minutes in these last four minutes and that it wants to litigate, finally, for being the Pichichi Barcelona in this season. Has the same goals that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (11).

When the clock brushed the 25 minutes of party, Jordi Alba invented a very good played to send a pass to Memphis Depay and remained like this only in the area of Rico. Pablo Maffeo took a lot to cover it and the international with Low Countries took advantage of to take out a volley and nail the balloon in the deepest of the goal of the group bermellón.

The Dutch took advantage of the opportunity that gave him Xavi Hernández. It returned to the titularity after having been acting in the last parties. It had gone out in the XI initial in the defeat against the Cádiz (0-1) and contested an hour of party. In front of the Ray Vallecano played half hour and against the Real Sociedad remained in the bench. His last titularity had arrived in the isa of the quarter-finals of the Europe League, against the Galatasaray.

The future of Memphis, in the air

The ex of the Olympique of Lyon has left clear at all times that it wants to remain in the Camp Nou. Has agreement until the summer of 2023 and the competition in the leading is maximum, by what the club sees him like an option of market in this window of transfers. However, the good level that has showed in front of the Mallorca probably will begin to generate doubts on if the Barça would have to leave him go.

Has by in front four opportunities more to show that it can be the forward that so much needs the Barça. For the moment, against the Mallorca, went the more differential on the terrain of game and left 'portrayed' to Ferran Torres and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, those who lived a very grey night of face to the attack.
