He got injured during the second leg vs Bayern last season and missed a couple league games. I think that was the first time he's ever missed a league game due to injury in his entire career, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Arsenal was the team I wanted Barca to face the least. They seem to thrive when nothing is expected of them, and crumble when they're hyped. They tend to make things uncomfortably close whenever they face powerhouses in the CL despite playing like shit against shit teams in England.
Please no more midfielders. We have Iniesta, Rakitic, Rafinha, Roberto, and Arda already, and potentially Halilovic and Denis Suarez next season. Not to mention new upcoming Masia talents.
Alves needs to only play against bottom table league teams. Everytime he got the ball I felt like we were gonna lose possession, and I was right.
On a more positive note, both the Sergi's were awesome.
