Both were in risk during the party against the RCD Espanyol, but his good defensive work, stealing balloons without committing practically lacking, in addition to the arbitration of Mateu Lahoz, that did not show them the cardboard, contributed to that the FC Barcelona finished still with a greater smile after the goleada to the conjoint "parakeet".
The FC Barcelona will visit The Madrigal the next 8 January 2017, in what it will be one of the most important exits for the ones of Luis Enrique this campaign in LaLiga 2016-17.
