Neto's error breaks a good run in goal for him at a bad time
He badly controlled a Pique pass and Luis Rioja robbed him to score
There was a grave error in Barcelona's defence against Alaves and it cost them a goal in the 1-1 draw. Gerard Pique and Neto got in a muddle and Luis Riojo pounced to score.
It was the first mistake Neto has made since stepping in for the injured Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who is now back in training. His solidity over the past few weeks will sadly be forgotten because of what happened at Mendizorroza.
Pique passed to him and with Rioja coming at him fast, Neto controlled the ball badly and got it stuck between his legs. Rioja robbed him and tapped home.
If Neto had any hopes of keeping his spot, they are much smaller now.
