FC Barcelona lost in a terrible match against Shakhtar Donetsk in the group stage of the Champions League, where Xavi Hernández's team was expected to win with authority, but several players did not measure up when they were expected to perform. put the team on your shoulders and stand out to fight for the position.

Despite the fact that FC Barcelona's starting eleven played at a low level, Xavi Hernandez exposed three players in particular, after replacing them at the same time in the 59th minute. These are Oriol Romeu, Ferran Torres and Raphinha... Whom he changed for Joao Felix, Lamine Yamal and Pedri.

Furthermore, one of them, Oriol Romeu, has disappointed the fans and Xavi Hernández almost has no arguments to continue keeping him in the squad, because his salary is 2 million euros per year according to information from the Salarysports portal, which is not lower but its level leaves much to be desired.

Barcelona, in trouble:

If Porto wins by more than one goal against Antwerp, the Portuguese team will be in first place in the group, surpassing FC Barcelona. In addition, Shakhtar was placed three points behind Barcelona, putting pressure on the Balugrana team.
