His debut with FC Barcelona is frankly convincing. Arrived from Brazil, Vitor Roque is getting everyone to agree in Catalonia and already has two goals under the Barcelona tunic. Scorer four minutes after coming on against Deportivo Alavès on the last day of La Liga, El Tigrinho also experienced his first expulsion in Spain. Warned a few minutes earlier, the Brazilian striker received a second yellow card for a slight foul. And while Barça was scandalized by this expulsion, the current third in La Liga stepped up to the plate and even appealed this sanction.
While the latter ultimately proved unsuccessful, Roque will therefore be absent for the Granada reception this Sunday (9 p.m.). Obviously, this first red card received in his young career is enough to make you angry. Asked by Mundo Deportivo, the 18-year-old striker once again expressed his incomprehension regarding this sanction and even revealed a totally crazy situation with the referee of the match: “I didn’t understand, it was a play in which the defender came towards me with his foot in front and when I saw him I tried to turn my foot so that “He started shouting and the referee showed me the yellow card. The referee told me ‘here it’s not like in Brazil’. I just respected the decision and left the pitch.»
