"Don't deserve to be a Barca player", "Should leave this season" - Barcelona fans slam player for 'ghosting' in 2-1 loss to Manchester United

Barcelona fans on Twitter were livid with Sergi Roberto's performance against Manchester United after Xavi's team suffered a 2-1 defeat in the second leg at Old Trafford. The Blaugrana crashed out of the UEFA Europa League play-off stages with a 4-3 aggregate defeat.Fans slandered Roberto for his no-show. With Pedri and Gavi unavailable, Xavi had to rely on Franck Kessie and Frenkie de Jong to partner Sergio Busquets in midfield.Roberto was deployed as a winger against Erik ten Hag's team. While Roberto scored a goal in Barca's 2-0 La Liga win against Cadiz this past weekend, he was nowhere to be found against United.During the 70 minutes he played at Old Trafford, Roberto took zero shots and completed zero dribbles. He didn't attempt any crosses and lost possession of the ball a whopping 11 times.While Robert Lewandowski gave the visiting side the lead in the first half, goals from Fred and Antony meant United managed to complete a come-from-behind 2-1 win.Roberto, however, endured the fans' wrath as a result. One fan claimed that Roberto, Kessie, and Raphinha don't deserve to be Barcelona players.He wrote:&quot;Raphinha ,Kessie and Roberto no deserve to be Barca player I swear.&quot;Another fan wrote:&quot;Sergi Roberto should leave this season.&quot;Here are some of the best reactions across Twitter after Barca's Europa League defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford:Andres Coello@Andres7Coello@BarcaUniversal Sergi Roberto should leave this season@BarcaUniversal Sergi Roberto should leave this seasonShafiqAfc@shafik_sediq@Ensadique That’s what xavi gets for playing Roberto lw@Ensadique That’s what xavi gets for playing Roberto lwOlayinka💙❤️@MuttyleePabloRaphinha ,Kessie and Roberto no deserve to be Barca player I swear1Raphinha ,Kessie and Roberto no deserve to be Barca player I swearBeautiful_Game+@soil_4lifeThank you xavi for trusting roberto in such a big gameMade all the difference in fastening our exit from the europa leagueThank you xavi for trusting roberto in such a big gameMade all the difference in fastening our exit from the europa leagueKhofi 💙❤@khofi_khay@FCBarcelona Roberto and Raphinha be mumu players@FCBarcelona Roberto and Raphinha be mumu playersMO Scout@MahmoudQadi9@FCBarcelona_es Roberto out out out@FCBarcelona_es Roberto out out outbeto@LevyAventu@Nikhil7877 Bro Sergio Roberto ghosted all game but that’s Xavi fault for strting him@Nikhil7877 Bro Sergio Roberto ghosted all game but that’s Xavi fault for strting himkevinwilliams@kevvwill@Barca19stats And again this summer, players will say they are staying in Barcelona, and it will be more of the same next season.
