Roony Bardghji shines on his debut with Barça! Discover his first goal

FC Barcelona debuted with a victory on the Asian tour against Vissel Kobe (1-3), a match where the three reinforcements signed so far had their official debut with the Blaugrana shirt. The best part was for Roony Bardghji, who managed to shake the nets in his first minutes as a culé.

The Swedish striker scored the partial 1-2 in the 77th minute with a remarkable first-time finish from a pass by Robert Lewandowski. Previously, the former Copenhagen player had shot high a good chance from the right, after a remarkable assist from Marcus Rashford.

In total, the 19-year-old footballer played 46 minutes, completing a couple of dribbles and three shots on goal, in addition to 16 successful passes in 19 attempts (84%). In individual duels, he won 2 out of 3, with only one loss of ball while he was on the field. 

Roony Bardghji, convinced of earning his place at Barça

In this way, Roony had a great debut with Barça, needing little more than half an hour and a couple of chances to celebrate his first goal with the Blaugrana shirt. The idea is that the Stockholm native is the first alternative to Lamine Yamal on the right, although Raphinha can occupy that role without problems.

Bardghji comes from scoring 15 goals in 84 appearances with the first team of Copenhagen, in addition to another 7 goals in 21 matches with the subsidiary of the Danish team. Although he signed with a card from Barça Atlètic, the player is convinced of earning a place in the squad.

As long as he keeps scoring goals on the Asian tour, he will surely have options to convince Hansi Flick, just as Pau Víctor did. However, this does not guarantee, much less, enjoying too many opportunities in the rest of the season. Not in vain, the Catalan attacker had no choice but to go to Braga.

Hansi Flick, satisfied with Bardghji's first minutes

After the match, Hansi Flick valued the performance of Barça and a Bardghji who is already convincing him with his effort in training at the Ciutat Esportiva, despite having joined a little later than the bulk of the squad.

"When he plays well like today... you see it in training, like Joan García, Rashford... I'm happy with what I'm seeing. The young people have to improve. It's not easy for us this season, but like last season, we keep working hard to win titles", explained the coach.

Roony will have a new opportunity to shine next Thursday against FC Seoul, in South Korea. The culés will also face Daegu FC to close their Asian expedition, prior to returning to Catalonia for the dispute of the Gamper against Como. Will the 19-year-old striker be able to earn his place at Barça?
