“I have given up”, “Needs to leave ASAP” – Barcelona fans want veteran star to leave club after poor performance in win over Villarreal
Barcelona fans want captain Sergi Roberto gone despite their club’s thrilling 4-3 La Liga win at Villarreal on Sunday (August 27).
In a thrilling clash at the Estadi de la Ceramica, the La Liga holders led 2-0 after 15 minutes. Gavi opened the scoring inside 12 minutes, converting a Lamine Yamal cross. Three minutes later, Robert Lewandowski’s backheel found Frenkie de Jong, who doubled the advantage three minutes later as Barca bossed proceedings.
However, Villarreal hit back through Juan Foyth, who reduced arrears from an Alex Baena corner in the 26th minute. Five minutes before the break, the hosts were on level terms, with Alexander Sorloth firing home.Five minutes into the second half, Baena put Villarreal in front. However, Ferran Torres (68′) and Lewandowski (71′) ensured that Barca took the win to move third in the standings after three games.Despite the win, fans were far from pleased with Sergi Roberto’s performance, with one tweeting:
“I have given up on Sergi Roberto. I supported him before but I think it’s now obvious he is not our level again.”
Another chimed in:
“Sergi Roberto needs to leave ASAP”

I have given up on Sergi Roberto. I supported him before but I think it's now obvious he is not our level again.
As for Alonso, I hope Manutd makes a move for him.😉
