Sergi Roberto achieves success against bottom team from PSG miracle

Sergi Roberto He had the best day of his career in March 2017, when he led a comeback against the Parisians at a Camp Nou dedicated to euphoria and tears. This Wednesday in dreary Montjuïc, Sergi Roberto also felt very lucky. Although the scene has nothing to do with it. This time the success was to knock out by two goals an Almería team that was playing with the drama of others. Welcome to the present.

Raphinha is a strange football player. Run hard but it doesn’t make much sense. He’s also not very skilled with the ball around his feet. He plays with anger, as if he can only get ahead by rebelling against the windmills. He also feels misunderstood. When he scored against Almería, worst team in the leagueIn the midst of Barça’s nonsense and in such a demoralizing first half, with four cats whistling their way to Montjuïc, the boy had no choice but to stick his fingers in his ears. But this is what explains the unreality in which both the team and the club live. of Barça Xavi’sfor your president Joan LaportaHe is a clear candidate to win the Champions League..

Before Raphinha celebrated his third goal of the league like there was no tomorrow (he had to push the ball over the goal line after a corner kick, a header from Araujo and a short deflection from Maximiano), Barca were put in a dire situation. time. But according to its time. The fast pace of Barça players trying to play with their hands in their pockets He allowed Almería to play so foolishly without realizing that Fermín intended the exact opposite. After Almeria’s seemingly endless possession of the ball and Xavi’s players unwilling to press, Montjuïc fans began to complain.

Version Joao Felix It wasn’t anything great but it was something ghostly; Gündoğan, the big brain of the team, passed the ball to the opponent team; Christensen made so many mistakes that the designated Koundé had to leave after the break; and Lewandowski, without including his work and any specificity.

It was no surprise that he was AlmeriaA team that had not won a game all season and where Garitano showed little improvement compared to the fired Vicente Moreno, finally went up the hill. Araujo badly rejected a long pass and Bapistao scored to Iñaki Peña. The Almería striker was not offside by just a few centimeters. Yes, it was there in the previous move, but the referee did not evaluate it.

Barça’s attitude improved in the second half, when there was no plan or play. Ferran Torres helped with this. But above all, the efforts of Sergi Roberto, who converted his legendary neck to make it 2-1 after a corner that didn’t look like it at all. A serious mistake from Iñaki Peña sent Almería into a momentary draw, which Sergi Roberto wholeheartedly denied after Lewandowski made it possible.

Barça captain receives critical acclaim at Montjuïc stadium worst entry of the season and against Almería, who still haven’t won a match.

Now joy comes from these small victories. No matter how much the present hurts, no matter how much the future worries, it is better not to look back.
