The Joan Gamper Trophy match was an ideal opportunity for Barcelona to demonstrate their strengths before the start of a challenging season. After a strong performance on their Asian tour, the team was eager to confirm their positive impression against a formidable opponent like Como, one of the most promising teams this season. Indeed, Hans-Dieter Flick’s team secured a resounding 5-0 victory, boosting the players’ confidence.
However, amid this dominance, some negative points emerged that could not be ignored. Despite the brilliance of the first team and new players, there was disappointment with the performance of Ronnie Bardji, who failed to make a positive impact on the match. After impressing everyone at the beginning of his career with Barcelona with his brilliant technical skills and powerful shooting, his performance began to decline over time, raising questions about his future with the team.

Despite the opportunities Bardji had in the warm-up matches, especially in the Joan Gamper Trophy, his performances were below expectations. Competition for his position has increased, particularly with players like Lamine Yamal, who appears more ready to start. Meanwhile, it is believed that Bardji, who joined Barcelona in a sensational €2 million deal, may find himself in the reserve team at the start of the season.
Coach Hans-Dieter Flick has expressed his disappointment with Bardji’s recent performances and emphasized that the best option for the player’s development would be to loan him out to another club. Flick appears to believe that a loan period will give Bardji the opportunity to regain his form and return to Barcelona stronger.
Based on Flick’s statements, Bardji may be a candidate for departure before the end of the summer transfer window. Some sources speculate that Barcelona may loan him to a club in La Liga, as such a move would provide him with an opportunity to prove himself in a less pressured environment.
The coming weeks will reveal Bardji’s fate, and whether he lives up to expectations or whether this season will mark the end of his journey at Camp Nou.
