FC Barcelona’s Sergi Roberto: From Scapegoat to Hero

Sergi Roberto couldn’t sleep last night. “I wasn’t sure if it was a dream,” he admitted. Hours before, as he celebrated on the pitch, his teammate Rafinha had told him, “it’s not a dream, it’s not a dream, it’s not a dream!”

But he could barely believe it last night as messages of congratulations kept flooding in.

What a turnaround.

Barcelona had completed a miraculous comeback against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, scoring 3 goals in an hour and then 3 more with 7 minutes left.

And the last goal came off his boot, a gentle caress of a volley at full stretch to loop the ball past Kevin Trapp and into the back of the net.
