Roberto proved a versatile talent for the club, notably playing in midfield, full-back or winger roles. However, his most memorable moment for the club arrived in front of goal.

Back in 2016/17, the Barcelona man scored the infamous winning goal in a 6-1 comeback win over Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League.
