Barcelona Secures Supercopa Final Spot with Mixed Performances: Concerns for Ferran Torres and Sergi Roberto?
Barcelona secured their place in the Spanish Supercopa final, overcoming Osasuna on Thursday in a hard-fought match that saw Xavi’s team emerge victorious in the second half.
Despite an overall efficient performance, there were some notable disappointments that left fans frustrated. One player who faced criticism for an uneventful outing was Ferran Torres. The talented forward struggled to create chances for his teammates and had a 0% shooting accuracy.
In the second half, Torres was substituted for Joao Felix, whose impactful contribution included setting up Lamine Yamal’s goal. Another player facing scrutiny is Sergi Roberto, who had an underwhelming performance in midfield, failing to win tackles or make interceptions.
Roberto was replaced in the second half by Pedri, who delivered a much-improved performance in midfield. These struggles have raised concerns about the positions of both Ferran Torres and Sergi Roberto in the Barcelona XI for the upcoming clash against Real Madrid.
As Xavi contemplates his lineup, the spotlight is on whether changes will be made to address the shortcomings observed in the recent victory.
