Impact Bongonda has been in good form since the World Cup break ended, with one goal and two assists from 13 shots (two on target) and six chances created in six La Liga starts from the right wing. But it wasn't enough to get on the score sheet against Barcelona's absurdly sound defense on Sunday.

He will look to bounce back with a trip to Girona on Friday, who have scored four goals in the last four contests.
