Pau Víctor and Hansi Flick make Vitor Roque's situation even clearer

Vitor Roque seems to have his days at FC Barcelona numbered. The Brazilian, although he counted for Hansi Flick, was once again overshadowed by a stellar Pau Víctor. Against Real Madrid (1-2), the reserve team forward excelled with a double, once again starting. 'Tigrinho', on the other hand, was left on the bench after a weak first half against Manchester City, a match where Pau had also 'wet'.

The 22-year-old attacker, this time, started the game lying on the right due to the presence of Robert Lewandowski, while Unai Hernández occupied the left-wing position where the Brazilian looked uncomfortable against the 'sky blue' team. Víctor took advantage of the assist from 'Lewy' in the 42nd minute, in a play that the Pole, in his attempt to finish on goal, left the ball served to '8' to open the scoring. In the 54th minute it would be 0-2, this time thanks to a cross from Álex Valle from the right to connect the ball, sweeping into the six-yard box. A minute earlier, the forward had challenged Courtois with a mid-range shot.

Vitor Roque was Flick's last offensive variant in the Classic

While Pau was on the field for 65 minutes, Roque only had the opportunity to come on in the 77th minute for Lewandowski. The Brazilian was the last offensive variant used by Hansi Flick, in a change window where Ílkay Gündogan also entered for Marc Bernal, another of the kids who once again performed in the German's lineup. 'Tigrinho' was positioned as a center forward, accompanied by Raphinha and Noah Darvich.

The '17' had his clearest chance in the final minutes after a long ball in which he was close to beating Courtois before the Belgian's desperate exit, but the 'merengue' backstop prevented the former Athletico Paranaense player from scoring on goal. empty. Vitor was very mobile to try to take advantage of the culés' counterattacks, but it did not have much significance in the quarter of an hour that he managed to play. Despite their insistence on staying and fighting for a position, Flick and Pau Víctor seem to permanently close the doors to Timóteo's position.
