Thunderbolt in Sweden! While Roony Bardghji has only played 26 matches with FC Barcelona this season, the striker was not included in the list established by Graham Potter for the next World Cup (June 11 – July 19) with his selection. Furthermore, this absence would cause a sort of earthquake in the country. According to several Swedish media, this absence is not linked to his performance, but to an incident that occurred after Sweden’s qualification against Poland. Remaining in the stands and without a single minute played during the game, Bardghji would have had a very bad time with this choice. After qualifying, his attitude would have displeased the entire selection, to the point of weakening his future appearances in the group.
According to the newspaper AftonbladetSwedish FA officials were particularly disappointed by the player’s behavior during the celebrations. “It was very strange that he almost sat there in a bad mood when we had already qualified for the World Cup. It’s not beneficial at all.” even confided a close source. Internally, several players would have felt that Bardghji considered himself above the collective despite his young age. Isolated during the festivities, while the rest of the team celebrated the qualification around a dinner, he would have been in deep discomfort. Between low playing time and an attitude described as unacceptable, his 2025-26 season is not a success.
