Sergi Roberto’s place as Barcelona's starting right-back is certainly assured

FC Barcelona enjoyed their fourth win in La Liga this season after they put five goals past Sporting Gijón without reply. With Barça making their worst start in La Liga since the 2008-09 season, they were desperate to get a win to go equal on points with Real Madrid at the top of the table. Luis Enrique made five changes from the match against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday as he left Andrés Iniesta, Ivan Rakitic and Javier Mascherano on the bench to ensure that they are well rested for the upcoming Champions League game against Borussia Mönchengladbach.
