The second season of Marcos Alonso in the FC Barcelona follows without showing the best version of the defender of 32 years. In front of the Celtic of Vigo, the Madrilenian wasted a new opportunity in which it went his second titularity in what it goes of LaLiga, after playing the 90 minutes in the suffered victory in front of the Villarreal in The Madrigal (3-4). The Saturday, Xavi Hernández did not have patience and replaced him after the rest.

With the team down by 0-1, the egarense revolutionised the diagram culé with the income of Lamine Yamal and Ronald Araújo. The central reappeared to form an improvised line of three deep down Barcelona, replacing to Oriol Romeu. At the end, the experiment did not go out well and Alejandro Balde had to ingresar by Andreas Christensen to rearm the defence and, in the middle of the chaos, arrived the traced back in nine minutes of madness in the final stretch.

Marcos Alonso was of more to less in front of the Celtic

The '17' began the very active party by the left band, installed in contrary field beside Joao Cancel to give more depth to the game culé. In the first chamber of hour filtered some dangerous balloon to the Galician area that did not reach to connect with Joao Félix, but had some problems in the shrinking for lidiar with the mark of the marfileño Jonathan Bamba and to throw a hand with Iago Sails.

Marcos closed the first part with a pair of finish (one to door) and 45 passes completed, with a percentage of tarpaulin of the 93 %. However, it did not have so much desborde as it is used to to contribute Alejandro Balde and, with the Barça down in the marker, finish sacrificed in front of the need to bet by offensive variants. The change of Lamine was sung for the complement and, although Christensen was the most absent-minded of the bottom culé in the first time, Xavi preferred to do without Alonso to rearm the saga.

Another stray opportunity for Marcos Alonso in the Barça

With Balde like indisputable by left, to the Madrilenian follow him escaping the opportunities in the Barça. For the moment it adds 104 minutes of action in three apparitions in League and, although Xavi takes him into account also like possible 'salvavidas' in the centre of the saga, the international Spanish does not give guarantees to win a place in the eleven culé. This yes, Marcos goes on down in front of Iñigo Martínez regarding spare, since the Basque still does not attain to convince to the egarense of, at least, give him minutes in favourable parties for this (like the one of the Betis and the one of the Amberes).
