Roony Bardghji Shines as Barça Flip the Match at La Cartuja
So let me walk you through what’s been happening with Roony Bardghji and Barcelona, because this young talent has been right at the heart of one of the most exciting starts to a LaLiga match this weekend.
Barcelona went into their game against Real Betis knowing they needed to set the tone early, especially with Real Madrid breathing down their neck in the title race. But just like in their recent fixtures, they were hit with an early blow. In only the sixth minute, a loose ball dropped kindly for Antony, and he poked it in from close range. Barcelona appealed for offside, but the replay showed he had been kept on by Jules Koundé. Betis fans were buzzing, and suddenly Barça were chasing the game again.

But the response from Hansi Flick’s side was instant, and it came through a brilliant combination involving Roony Bardghji. Just five minutes after going behind, Bardghji helped stitch together the equaliser. Koundé did well down the right, squared it into Bardghji’s path, and the young winger calmly set up Ferran Torres, who smashed it in from a few yards out. The move was simple, quick, and exactly what Barcelona needed to settle themselves.
And then came the moment that really highlighted Bardghji’s growing influence. Barely a couple of minutes after the equaliser, he delivered a perfect cross into the box. Ferran reacted in a flash, meeting it with a clean volley that slid right through the legs of Betis goalkeeper Alvaro Valles. In less than three minutes, Barcelona had flipped the scoreline from 0–1 to 2–1. La Cartuja fell silent, and Barça’s bench erupted. Ferran’s brace not only gave Barcelona control of the match—it also pushed him to 10 league goals for the season, matching his personal best. Only Kylian Mbappé has also hit double digits so far, which says a lot about the form Ferran is in.
But the key talking point here is Bardghji. His composure, his decision-making in tight spaces, and the confidence to deliver a cross like that in a high-pressure moment—it all shows why Barcelona rate him so highly. He didn’t just play a supporting role; he actively shifted the momentum of the match.
Considering he’s still so young, it’s clear Barcelona see him as a long-term piece of their attack, and performances like this explain why. If this is the level he’s already producing, you can imagine how much more he can grow over the next few seasons.
And with this match still feeling wide open, there’s every chance Bardghji has more to say before the final whistle.
