Looks fair to me. But even if it was a foul then it would've been a stupid dispossession from him, shouldn't have been doing dribblings at the back in the first place.
But maybe that's a bit too easily thought, from the above replay it seems like he had 4 options when he got closed down:
a) pass it to Umtiti (suicidal)
b) pass it back to MaTS (probably also suicidal)
c) pass it to the approaching Rakitic (?) along the line, which might have troubled him as there was someone in his back
d) do what he did, get space and open up
In not just this, but in a couple of situations this game there seemed like no passing options in the midfield when playing from the back. Maybe more players should come back, make the field denser and add passing options. The Guardiola-way, so to say. This also has the advantage that IF the ball goes loose, more players are able to intervene further down the pitch.
In the attack Barca looked sharp as fuck, like a team with MSN should. Not optimal by THEIR standards but heavenly by everyone elses, and that's good.
It's just this defense -> midfield transition thing that looks so bad when in possession.

Thought he was fouled, but that doesn't cover up the fact that he should not be a RB, he is just so poor defensively. He would be a decent squad player to play in the midfield against lesser opponents, that's it.

Haha, with those parameters, yeah. Neither a foul, both too soft to be called. I've seen similar actions be called dives here before.If Suarez's yellow card was a foul, than this was a double one...

"The converted midfielder is struggling in his new position at right-back and is tired of playing there. Mentally exhausted and put under pressure by the opposition each game, Sergi Roberto would prefer to play in another positons, but his destiny is clear in the short-term: there's no possible replacement at right-back."
Sport's rampant after lucho these days.
