The other Argentine on the pitch was Facundo Buonanotte, who came out among the starters. However, the former Central player did not have a good performance and was replaced 24 minutes into the match.
Barco’s debut was surprising as on Tuesday his coach, the Italian De Zerbi, had declared that the Argentine was not yet fit to play: “It’s not ready. We knew before the transfer window opened that bringing a player from another country would be very difficult for him. He is a good player. Let’s help each other understand everything.”. However, this Wednesday gave him his first minutes in the team.
