Quiet in rare start Kike had zero shots, created one chance and drew two fouls during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Valencia. Impact Kike was back in the starting XI but, opposite to what he did two weeks ago, this time the forward was dominated by opposing defenders and couldn't attempt a single shot while he was on the pitch. It's still to be know if Kike or Ante Budimir, who replaced him in the 73rd minute, will get the nod to lead the offense during Mar. 19 home clash against Villarreal, but the fact is that neither of them is performing well enough to have the edge.
