    Fisticuffs!

    Barcelona frustrated. Dest has been ok though. Losing the ball at times, but has a decent % of dribbling wins.

    Finally a Barca goal. Dest not involved.

    1-1. Araujo.

    Araujo has been hands down the MOTM today, both as a defender and in attack.

    EQUALIZER! 90th minute, Araujo heads it home off a nice chip from Gavi. No Dest content, but that has to feel good.

    Shameful 4 minutes of stoppage time. That's horrible.

    Turned into a clown show. Only 4 minutes of stoppage time added. No 6 minutes now. I’ve never seen that before.

    Araujo must have massive lungs. He keeps running and nearly has a magnificent assist from the right.

    Dest has done ok on the left. Not that involved, since most attacks were generated on the right.

    Overall, I'd say he's done just enough to keep starting.

    They attacked down the right the whole first half ... when he was on the right. Then they started attacking more on the left when he was on the left. The announcers literally said he was the best player on the field at the half. Maybe Araujo deserves MOTM by the end, but Dest was one of the best players out there today, not "just enough."

    I was watching in Movistar (Spanish) and their assessment was exactly the opposite. It coincided with what I saw on the field.

    He was more involved in the right, btw. On the left he had some moments, but most of the attack kept going through the right, with Mingueza being very active for most of the second half.

    Man who needs to play for a team or a country with adequate left backs so he can play on the right, also known as Sergino Dest, starts at left back for Barca against Cadiz.

    Third mintue, makes multiple dribbling moves in the offensive box to set up a shot, then puts it over.Alas.

    Also, why does Puig never play?

    Dest starts away at Cadiz on Friday night.

    Playing on the left, he had a great dribbling move in the box but skied the shot.

    Not a strong start - turnover hospital ball to Memphis, called for a foul to set up a free kick wide on his side. Comes to nothing, though.

    Dest does some good defending after Cadiz counters from a corner, tracking way back on the opposite (right) side of the field from his position.

    That's better - Barca corner kick leads to a counter, Dest chases it down all the way on the right side defensive corner, steals and plays out for a Cadiz throw-in.

    Looks looks fouled on a dribbling move but punished by referee for not continuing his run

    Dest breaking down the left wing, grabbed around the chest, bad no call and it's out for a goal kick. Not sure what the ref saw.

    Dest could have kept going but he stopped. Seems the ref punished him for it.

    Dest isolated against defender attempts to dribble but easily blocked. Barca have the ball but can’t find a way through.

    Dest makes the run behind the defense, but Frankie's through ball is a foot off target and a defender gets a touch. Love when Dest looks for that run, though. Better buildup from Barca more recently.

    Sergino gets played in down the left but can’t make a strong cross with his left foot. As usual he’s better at RB.

    Very athletic play by the defender to block him that time.

    Yeah but you can see Dest hesitates when he’s crossing with his left, like he has to gather himself.

    there’s another left footed cross blocked.
    Commentator agrees with me!
