Today it became known that Sergi Roberto, one of the symbols of modern Barcelona, is finishing his career at the club. After 13 years spent in the “blue-granate”, the 32-year-old versatile player decided to leave the team.
Career in FC Barcelona
Roberto, a pupil of the famous academy “La Masia”, debuted for the first team of “Barça” in 2010. Since then, he has played over 350 matches for the club, winning eight La Liga titles, six Spanish Cups and winning the UEFA Champions League twice. His contribution to the team is hard to overestimate – fans and coaches have always valued his versatility and dedication to the club. One of the highlights of Roberto’s career remains his goal in the return leg of the Champions League 1/8 final against PSG in 2017, when Barcelona made a historic comeback, winning 6-1 and advancing to the quarterfinals.
On leaving FC Barcelona
The decision to leave came as a surprise to many fans, but in his farewell statement Roberto emphasized that it was a measured and difficult step. According to rumors, the player may continue his career in one of the clubs in the United States or Qatar, but Roberto himself has not yet made an official statement on this matter. The Barcelona management expressed their gratitude to Sergi for his years of service and contribution to the development of the team, wishing him good luck in the future. Fans are already preparing for the farewell ceremony, which will be held at Camp Nou in the coming days. Thus, Barcelona will say goodbye to another legend who left an indelible mark in the history of the club.
