Manchester City vs. Barcelona: Combined Starting XI
By Cody Griffin
Right Back: Sergi Roberto
Sergi Roberto has begun to heavily fill in for Barcelona at right back this season, with the departure of Dani Alves over the summer to Juventus. Sergi is an extremely versatile player, who had mainly been thought of as a central midfielder in the past. However, in such a stacked Barca side, I suppose players must be willing to play anywhere in order to get the playing time they desire.
Notable Omission: If Bacary Sagna were healthy at the moment, and not sidelined by a hamstring injury, he would take this spot without a doubt. However, neither Zabaleta nor any youngsters Pep may put in are currently better than Sergi.
