No that game was a wake up call to how badly Barca are lacking and for players like Semedo their weaknesses which have been evident in last 2/3 seasons were fully exposed.
No player is being judged on that game alone.

I won?t say that he is WC player, but in that game he didn?t get any help from his teammates. Not even simple back cover. And even the best defenders in the world can't defend that.

Not getting help is one thing but he completely fucked up in multiple situations when defending one on one and was afwul on ball as usual.
Most individual errors ever seen from a Barca player and not to do with his team mates who were shit as well. He made game more diificult for them than they did for him.
Not good enough and would think will struggle to get anyone to take him.
There are easily 10 better RBs in EPL and wont be big market for him dont think.

I think a 35 years old Alves would be better than Semedo.

Dude, Alves at 35 was better than most top rb in the world at that time. But I get your point.

Alves is 37. Still better though.

The thing that pisses me off the most is they wouldn't renew who I consider the goat rb because of his age but gave alba a 5 year contract at basically 30

That's not what happened.
Alves had a horrible season under Tata so we only offered a 1 year deal. He had a much better follow up season but he told us to fuck off and left on a free because it seemed we disrespected him.
No offence to alves but he did seem finished for a while and Vidal looked like a pretty good replacement at the time.
Hindsight is wonderful though

You don't think offering a 1 year to him was offensive? 3 years would of been acceptable for him and the club. This still doesn't explain why they offered a player never even on the same level as alves a 5 year contract at 30
Apparently he is one of the few not in the transfer list
I hope this is just a tactic to get more money from him. I really can't see him play again after that performance.
I read that and thats my thoughts as well .. to salvage some of the money teams like Atletico were willing to pay for him last season when they wanted him.
5 years is stupid but Alba is the new Alves for Messi at that time. They created this wonderful connection but PTSD struck Alba and it's a downhill

He was 30, even Alves wasn't offered long contract by same board at the age of 30. He was going free agent at 32 and only treble made them offer a renewal with conditions that can make him leaves asap
