His average goleadora drop considerably after the confinement in comparison to the first part of the championship. The same occurs to the hour to define, with the half of finish by party. It does fewer dribblings, fails more passes...

In these last parties has given until eight assistances, almost one by party, so that the Barça do not remain out of the fight by LaLiga of form precipitated. Of face to the Champions League, this yes, the Argentinian will need a deserved rest to face it as it is had to.
