Roony Bardghji shines in Barça’s last-minute win over Girona

Barcelona, Spain – Roony Bardghji, a 19-year-old forward, played a key role in FC Barcelona‘s dramatic win against Girona. His involvement led directly to the last-minute goal scored by Ronald Araujo, securing a thrilling victory for Barça.

As Barcelona prepares for their Champions League match against Olympiacos on Tuesday at 18:45 CET, coach Julian Nagelsmann is considering starting Bardghji. This decision comes after Araujo is expected to take a starting position. Although Lamine Yamal has resumed his spot as the right winger, Bardghji could be utilized in a more central role.

Bardghji, who excelled in the ’10’ position during his time at Copenhagen, has shown he is comfortable scoring and navigating through defenses. Before suffering a serious knee injury, he was the top scorer in the Danish Superliga. His attacking mindset makes him a valuable asset, particularly near the opponent’s goal.

In contrast, coach José Luis Mendilibar will face Barcelona with Olympiacos, a team he leads in the Champions League. Mendoza has historically struggled against Barcelona, facing them 27 times with only one victory to show. His lone win occurred over a decade ago, highlighting the challenges he faces.

This time, Mendilibar’s Olympiacos has positioned itself well in the Greek league but has yet to score in European competitions. Nevertheless, he is determined to rewrite his narrative against Santiago’s squad and possesses a competitive spirit that may prove crucial.

As FC Barcelona kicks off ticket sales for their upcoming Champions League clash with Chelsea, anticipation builds. The match is set to take place on November 25 at Stamford Bridge, with tickets priced at 50 euros. Club members can apply until October 31 through official channels, although ticket availability will depend on demand.
