Fingers pointed at Jeremy Mathieu after Barcelona loss

Samuel Umtiti has been hailed as Barcelona’s lucky charm, nevertheless; Jeremy Mathieu has been quite likened as such. For, the former every time he’s been present they won, but Mathieu seemed to bring bad luck and be the scapegoat.

Again, it resurfaced when he was put in a tough position within Sandro’s opening goal.

Mathieu issued a step forward to be by his former mate’s offside, but the position taken by him was tactically speaking unsuccessful.

Sandro swiftly scored, and even if Mathieu tried to speed up more than he did, he wouldn’t have made it.

Luis Enrique hauled off Mathieu at the interval while the coach was seeking an error-less reformation.

The defender had a season umpteen with injuries.  The defender’s contract will be expiring soon in 2018, and rumor has it that the club may put the axe to minimized losses.
