Roldan’s constant evolution in Seattle has made him among Sounders’ best

Clint Dempsey was able to come back from a heart condition and silence all doubters with a superb 2017 season.

SEATTLE — When Cristian Roldan was a boy, he fantasized about one day pulling on FC Barcelona’s famous blue-and-garnet jersey.
