He is one of the men of this end of the season and of the double confrontation against FC Barcelona in the quarter-final of the Champions League. Bradley Barcola continues to progress and becomes more and more essential to this Parisian team.
During the return match against FC Barcelona (4-1), he was one of the major players in the victory and the Parisian qualification. Author of a decisive pass for Ousmane Dembélé, the former Lyon player mainly caused the expulsion of Ronald Araujo in the first period.
During an interview given to RMC Sport, the Parisian winger returned to this episode. The French international hopefuls told how he managed to play the Uruguayan defender.
“I knew he was going very fast, Araujo. With this action, I told myself that I was going to pass in front of him. Because in the first leg, I had a somewhat similar action, but I didn’t get ahead well. So he had caught up with me. There, I told myself that I was going to pass directly in front of him and I knew that there was nothing he could do. Either he made a mistake or I played one on one,” he added.
Starter against BVB in the first leg?
Performing and attractive in this quarter-final return against FC Barcelona, Bradley Barcola should be returned to Luis Enrique’s starting 11 for the Champions League semi-final first leg against Borussia Dortmund.
A priori, he should once again occupy the position of left winger. Kylian Mbappé has a good chance of taking a position in the axis and Ousmane Dembélé in his right lane. Facing the Germans, the young Frenchman will once again be valuable for his family.
