Fans of Spanish giants Barcelona have flooded to social media on Sunday, to send a message to the powers that be at the club regarding Sergi Roberto.
Xavi Hernandez’s troops, of course, are currently locked in action.
After being sent packing from the Europa League in midweek, the Blaugrana have turned their attentions back towards matters on the domestic front, in a La Liga meeting with the aforementioned Almeria.
After Real Madrid dropped a potentially crucial pair of points in Saturday’s derby, Barca headed into proceedings in the knowledge that a win would guide them a full ten points clear at the summit of the Spanish top-flight.
As things stand at the Power Horse Stadium, however, it is the hosts who are in possession of the advantage.
This comes owing to a solitary strike on the part of El Bilal Toure, midway through the first-half.

A whole host of the club’s stars have been singled out for criticism to this point in Sunday’s proceedings, ranging from Eric Garcia to Ferran Torres.
None, however, has been more widely targeted than the versatile Sergi Roberto.
Afforded a start at right-back against Almeria, long-time Blaugrana star Roberto has struggled thus far.
And the club’s supporter base have as a result made use of the opportunity to send an unwavering message to the Camp Nou hierarchy, regarding Roberto’s imminent contract renewal:
Tear up Sergi Roberto’s new contract before it’s signed, PLEASE

Can somebody explain me why @FCBarcelona is going to renew Roberto’s contract?

It’s just embarrassing at this point. The fact that Roberto’s renewal is at its final stages is infuriating.
