Sergi Roberto was the big sacrificed of Julen Lopetegui in the list of the 23 summoned of the selection of Spain since, in his position of right side, preferred to choose to Dani Carvajal, side of the Real Madrid, and to Álvaro Odriozola, carrilero of the Real Sociedad. In this case, the Catalan remained was.
However, during the first time of the final of the Champions League that the Real Madrid won by 3-1 in front of the Liverpool, Dani Carvajal lesionó and had to be substituted by Nacho. The action took place happened the half hour of game, in the minute 37, in which the player of Leganés left between tears.

The Barcelona player was one of the options that stirred Julen Lopetegui for the position of side and, after the injury of Dani Carvajal, the lateral theorist headline, opens him a new possibility to the of Reus.
All this, clear is, in case that the injury that produced Dani Carvajal have some gravity. In case that the Madrilenian recover to time, Lopetegui does not have any doubt that the side of the Real Madrid is, beside Odriozola, the attendant to defend the right lane of the saga of the Spanish selection.

Independently that Dani Carvajal and Álvaro Odriozola are two spectacular players, what himself that is clear is that Sergi Roberto deserves to be in the World-wide of Russia. His performance with the FC Barcelona has been extraordinary, occupying the right band of the Barcelona defence with big offensive and defensive contributions.
Besides, Sergi Roberto has the advantage to be a tremendously polyvalent player. The one of Reus no only can play of right side, but also it can it do of mediocentro, of interior, or until of extreme. Possibilities that Lopetegui has not taken into account, but that it could recover if Carvajal does not recover .
