Sergi Roberto arrived this Sunday to the 300 official matches with the elastic Blaugrana. A figure that began to be forged some time ago, specifically in November 2010, when Pep Guardiola made him debut in a Cup match against Ceuta. A few months later, the one from Reus got the batteries to play his second game: nothing more and nothing less a Champions semi-final against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu.

And so it was because a few seasons later, Sergi Roberto became the protagonist of the great comeback against PSG in the knockout stages of the Champions League of the 2016/17 season by being able to score the sixth goal that put the Blaugrana ahead of the Parisians in the last minute.
