The Euro 2016 winner arrived in an expensive deal that cost €35 million plus add-ons, but has been a scapegoat virtually all season long. The 23-year-old has shown glimpses that of talent here and there, but there is no escaping that Barca’s worst performances this term have come when he has been in the team - including the 4-0 loss at Paris Saint-Germain, the 3-1 defeat away to Manchester City and the 4-3 reverse against Celta Vigo....
