Sergi Roberto, 'touched' and almost 'sunk' at Barça after failing at San Mamés

The game of Sergi Roberto closed very well the 2023, but in this 2024 already has found again with his regular problems of regularity and especially capacity to be important in the key moments of the parties. And it is that although the assessment to the captain of the FC Barcelona in front of the Athletic perhaps would have to happen more by Xavi Hernández that by him when being a bet by the míster in a moment in which it needed more talent on the field that deploy, also is true that failed a lot to individual level.

The mediocampista Barcelona finished desluciendo a lot of during the extention to the not being the type of party in which it could help to the team, especially in the middle of an extra time in which the culés required to control a bit more the balloon and especially of something more than physicist in the half of the field. But with the tiredness of some footballers, Xavi decided to take out to Pedri to give entry to the veteran midfield player.

The decision of Xavi and the level of Sergi Roberto, a problem culé

This change influenced precisely in one of these actions was where gave the third the goal of the Basque group, after Sergi Roberto lost the balloon in the right band, causing like this the annotation of Iñaki Williams in the contrary sector of the field. Something that Ronald Araújo left clear after the party that went an error of intelligence when it was arriving to the rest of the extention in the party.

With 31 years, remains increasingly clear that Sergi neither is a profile that can contribute to the staff like basic wardrobe. Against the Athletic Club, Xavi put it in spite of having options with something more than presence in the field like Oriol Romeu or Fermín López. Probably the míster thought in this second option, but when having already three players of the filial would be forced to take out to Lamine Yamal, something that equally finished doing after the 2-3 that caused an error in exit of the Barcelona captain.

The little game of the Barça disappeared in his whole

The reality of the Catalan is that in spite of going in with lower tension in the legs could not equalise this intensity of the rival. In defence was really disappointing and in offensive phase could not influence in rival field. It is not coincidence that the Barça waned with the exit of Pedri and the entry of Sergi Roberto, leaving a good part of the extention without producing occasions to treat to equalise the meeting.
