Barcelona fans send Lewandowski message to Xavi after Vitor Roque’s winner vs Osasuna

Supporters of Barcelona have taken to social media in their droves on Wednesday evening, to send a message to head coach Xavi.

This comes fresh off the club’s latest outing.

Barca marked their return to action a short time ago, welcoming Osasuna to Catalunya, desperate for a return to winning ways.

And, when all was said and done, get things back on track is precisely what the evening’s hosts managed… albeit just.

A solitary goal proved all that separated the two sides upon the full-time whistle bringing a close to proceedings at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.

But it proved an altogether noteworthy one, owing chiefly to its source.

After being afforded a full half-hour off the bench to make an impact, Vitor Roque proved himself match-winner, in breaking free at the front post to nod home João Cancelo’s pinpoint delivery from the left.

His first goal in Barcelona colours, the January arrival in Catalunya took less than 60 seconds to make his mark against Osasuna.

After Roque was also responsible for seeing the visitors reduced to ten men a short time later, it should in turn come as little surprise to hear of excitement beginning to build across the Blaugrana fanbase.

In fact, taking to social media tonight, many of a Barca persuasion have gone as far as to call for the 18-year-old to be installed as a permanent starter, at the expense of the struggling Robert Lewandowski:
