Carlos Romero was one of the standout names after the derby at the RCDE Stadium. The left-back of RCD Espanyol delivered an outstanding performance against FC Barcelona, leaving a deep impression even in the Barcelona dressing room.

In a hard-fought match, the Valencian defender became a key figure. His performance did not go unnoticed in a highly demanding LaLiga match, where he responded with personality and competitive maturity.

Carlos Romero, a perfect marking job against FC Barcelona

Carlos Romero executed an impeccable marking on Lamine Yamal. Without resorting to unnecessary fouls and with a very precise tactical reading, he managed to stop the young talent from FC Barcelona for a large part of the match.

The full-back had defensive support but bravely took on individual duels. He knew how to bide his time, hold his ground in one-on-one situations, and prevent the Barcelona winger from finding clear spaces to unsettle.

In addition to his defensive solidity, Carlos Romero also troubled Barcelona in attack. His constant runs down the left flank caused problems for the Blaugrana defense, forcing them into hurried retreats.

Offensive prominence from the left wing

The role of Carlos Romero was not limited to defending. The RCD Espanyol player was a constant offensive threat, perfectly understanding when to join the attack and when to hold his position.

One of his crosses led to a powerful header by Pere Milla that required a decisive save from the Barcelona goalkeeper. Later on, Romero himself came close to scoring with a shot that once again met a great response from the opposing keeper.

These details reflect the confidence with which the full-back approaches each game. He recently scored a notable goal against Athletic Club, confirming a steady progression in LaLiga.

Statistics supporting his growth

The statistics reinforce the impression left by Carlos Romero on the field. He was the player from RCD Espanyol with the most involvements, reaching 54 actions during the match. He recovered five balls and won half of the duels contested, numbers showcasing a balance between defensive aggression and tactical awareness. His physical effort was constant throughout the ninety minutes.

Manolo González was certain that the left flank could be a way to unsettle FC Barcelona, and the full-back responded with a very complete performance.

The uncertain future of Carlos Romero

Carlos Romero's performance raises doubts about his immediate future. On loan from Villarreal until June 30, the Castellón club will have to decide whether to bet on him for the first team.

With a contract until 2029, the Valencian is accumulating merits to stay. His defensive evolution and offensive abilities make him a very attractive profile to compete at the highest level in LaLiga.

Simultaneously, in the environment of FC Barcelona, his name has been noted. Even though the left-back position seems covered, his performance did not go unnoticed by the sporting direction.

However, his release clause, set at 45 million euros, poses a significant obstacle. This figure is high for the Catalan club at this time as they need to strengthen other positions, aiming to spend as little as possible on each target.
