Plays first half in draw Barco completed seven passes in 45 minutes of Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Spain.

Impact Barco was pulled at halftime for Pedro De la Vega, who seemingly performed worse but got more time on the ball in the latter half of the game. With both now eliminated from the Olympic competition, Barco will likely return to Atlanta United for the rest of the MLS season in the near future.

Has quiet game in win Barco created a chance in Sunday's 1-0 Olympics victory against Egypt.

Impact Barco was much quieter against Egypt on Sunday than he was in the opener against Australia, but his side won the three points and is in a much better position to advance because of it. He will try to bounce back Wednesday against group leaders Spain.

Takes two shots in defeat Barco tallied two shots (one on target), two chances created, three dribbles, five fouls drawn and 14 dispossessions in Thursday's 2-0 loss to Australia.

Impact Barco was by far the best man on the pitch for his team but even that couldn't help his team avoid a major upset in the opener. He'll be surely primed however for even bigger haul and a performance in the second match versus Egypt as Argentina now have their backs on the wall and have to win big here.

Creates three chances in loss Barco took a shot and created three chances in Saturday's 3-0 defeat against Chicago.

On the way to Olympics Barco will be part of the Argentine team at the Olympics, and will depart the Atlanta United squad early next week, according to Doug Roberson of The AJC.

Impact Barco was one of the players rumored to be going to the Tokyo Games, and the team has now confirmed it. His selection to the Argentinian squad will leave Atlanta United short-handed, especially with how important he has been to the attack. Erik Lopez could slot into the starting XI in place of Barco.

Takes four shots in draw Barco took four shots (zero on goal) and logged a secondary assist during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Philadelphia.

Impact Barco has only played five times this season but has already taken nine shots and created eight chances. If he can stick in the team for an extended period of time, Barco looks capable of putting up better scoring numbers than he has in MLS so far. Up next is a trip to NYCFC, which have conceded 10 goals in eight matches.

Available for Nashville match Barco (hamstring) is available for Saturday's match against Nashville SC, according to Doug Roberson of the AJC.

Impact Barco hasn't played since the third match of the season but did score one goal in two starts. It's unclear if he'll be able to start immediately, but the entirety of Atlanta's attack should benefit from the return of Barco after scoring no more than one goal in a game during his absence.
