Araujo with a mask is basically Lenglet

Sergi Roberto! Our captain and most composed player in front of goal in 2023…

We barely managed to scrape a win at home against the team that has not won a single game this season lmao

Wembley Stadium filled with all players better than Sergi Goatberto:

Roberto scoring twice proves that we are indeed creating chances enough for even a midfielder to score. Just apparently not enough for our front 3 to score in a sufficient manner.

Other than that, our pressing is still not as good as it used to be last season. The same can be said about our defense.

Game was exciting in all the worst ways possible…. Lol

Sergi Roberto Ballon d'Or when.

Wins a win, but this ain’t it.

We tried so hard to bottle this

It's a W, but to give 2 scores to the lowest team in La Liga, doesn't feel as good as it should, honestly.

Sergi Roberto saved Xavi's job today

Also Sergi should clearly be a higher choice than Romeu

Al-Sad watching this performance

I'm all here for the Roberto renaissance. Always been a classy, hardworking, intelligent player who has played all over the pitch and put in a shift. Many fans don't respect him but he is more Barça than any of us here on the internet can claim.

BS that Roberto didn't get the MVP!

Author: Loose-Examination-39 | Score: 74 pts | Source

Who is Sergi Roberto?
For the blind, he is light. For the hungry, he is bread. For the sick, he is the cure. For the sad, he is joy. For the poor, he is the treasure; for the debtor, he is forgiveness.
For me,he is everything

We shouldn’t pay a dime for Felix

Who had Roberto scoring a brace on their card, I sure as hell didn't.

If Roberto has 10000 fans I am one of them

If Roberto has 1000 fans I am one of them

If Roberto has 100 fans I am one of them

If Roberto has 10 fans I am one of them

If Roberto has 1 fan I am the only one

If Roberto has no fans it means I am no longer on this earth

Our captain doing captain things. The best finisher in the club.

WE WON A GAME

I like that the fans were giving confidence to the struggling players like Raphinha and Romeu. To Inaki as well after the mistake.

Xavi if Sergi Roberto didn't score a brace today

Imagine if the rest of the players cared for the crest as much as Sergi or Gavi do…

Author: guapetonydroga | Score: 26 pts | Source

Most of this subreddit has been trashing Sergi Roberto for years and look at him now. Take a bow at our current most composed player in front of goal.

Roberto im sorry, I wasnt familiar with your game

What an absolute howler from Aruajo once again… Literally everyone has taken about 5 steps back from last season in terms on intelligence on the pitch..

Author: MrVaporDK | Score: 19 pts | Source

Roberto was massive!
Torres and Raphinha were good.

Lewy played well and deserved to score.

Author: Numerous-Knowledge-3 | Score: 14 pts | Source

We make every team look like prime Ac Milan

Author: Forgemarine | Score: 11 pts | Source

Of course it is not Xavi's fault for the individual mistakes of players, but come on. This is dead-last Almeria, and we showed no real system and again with the 90 mins Lewy and no chance for Guiu.

Xavi needs to quit being stubborn in his substitutions, and his supportive staff for game plans should be improved. If not Barca should look for someone else
