"Roony Bardghji's first season at Barcelona has not followed the smooth path many expected. The winger arrived with promise and excitement, but the reality of competing for places at a club like Barcelona is starting to show. As the campaign moves into a crucial phase, his playing time has dropped sharply once again. For what it is worth, this is not the first time he has found himself in this situation. Earlier in the season, there was a stretch where he barely featured, and now history seems to be repeating itself. At this point in the campaign, he is no longer part of Hansi Flick's main rotation, especially with the team entering a demanding run of fixtures in 2026."
"So far this year, Barcelona have played 12 matches across competitions, but Bardghji has only appeared in five of them. Those appearances add up to just 160 minutes, which is a small portion of the roughly 502 minutes he has accumulated all season. The recent trend has been even more concerning. In the last six matches, the 20-year-old has only been given brief cameos. He played just over 10 minutes against Oviedo and Mallorca, and in the other games, he did not feature at all."
Roony Bardghji arrived at Barcelona with promise but has struggled for consistent minutes amid intense squad competition. Playing time has dropped sharply as the campaign enters a demanding run of fixtures in 2026, and he is no longer part of Hansi Flick's main rotation. He has appeared in five of 12 matches so far this year, totaling only 160 minutes out of roughly 502 minutes for the season. The last six matches have yielded only brief cameos, mirroring an earlier spell between November and December when he did not play. Lamine Yamal's prominence limits opportunities in Bardghji's position.
