#5 Sergi Roberto slotting in as a right-back
Trending
While this is something we have been accustomed to this season after the departure of Dani Alves to Juventus, Sergi Roberto’s performance at right-back is something to be appreciated for sure. Barcelona’s faithful servant moved into the first team after four fantastic seasons with the B team but never managed to break into the main 11, facing competition from the likes Xavi, Iniesta, Rakitic, Busquets and Fabregas over the years.
However, last season proved out to be his year as he proved his versatility playing in 7 different positions on the pitch. After a few good performances at Right Back, he is now the first choice right-back for Barcelona and has been terrific. Bursting down the flank with pace, he has been combining well with Lionel Messi while his crossing is arguably better than that of Dani Alves. Sergi Roberto is certainly one of the best Right backs in the world already.
