Party of League that does not play Umtiti, "prick" of the FC Barcelona. These two concepts are going joined along all the present season 2016-17, since the bad results that has obtained the Barcelona group this season in the domestic competition have arrived, curiously, when the central French did not form part of the alignment culé.

The last defeat that had suffered the FC Barcelona in League produced in the month of October against the Celtic (4-3), in a party that Umtiti neither played in the eleven headline, whereas this 12 March has occurred the same in Riazor (2-1), in what it is turning into a superstition that leaves patent the big importance that has purchased Umtiti in the diagrams of the Barcelona.

Samuel Umtiti, all a talisman for the FC Barcelona

The central Frenchman has played to day of today 16 parties of League, fifteen like headline and one going out from the bench, and the 16 times the Barça added the the triumph, went against the rival that went. Whenever "it punctures" the Barça in League, however, Umtiti does not form part of the alignment. The only suplencia of Umtiti in the eleven initial in the last two months and half had been against the Betis in Seville, and this day the culés neither won (1-1).

The French defender is a talisman for his team that only knows the victory with him on the green. It landed this past summer in the City Condal and already understands and interprets to perfection the Barcelona game, being surely the most profitable signing of the last years.

They are many the automatisms that is internalising from the beginning, like the go out playing always, not giving any pelotazo or be always attack to go up and contribute in the creation of the game as well as in defence. A key piece in the team of Luis Enrique that this Sunday threw in fault.
