I’m very intrigued to see at least once Cancelo LW, essentially he was playing offensively pretty much the whole game tonight, and Balde LB to cover defensively. Also having your best CB play RB is criminal but at least Araujo doesn’t mind doing so.
They’re not actually playing with the message printed on the shirt, it was just a shirt to walk out to before the match - pretty standard in Spain/for Barca if a player gets a long term injury. It’s a nice touch to a teenage player that means a lot to the team and fans.
Just tuning into the game and the best CB playing as a RB, the best LB on the bench, Gundo as the DM? Xavi sets the team up for failure himself that you can’t even feel bad for him when things aren’t going well.
The Barca players are so lost, it’s simply depressing to watch.
I thought Gavi had discomfort a couple of days ago, why did he end up playing the full 90 😅
The linkup and connection on the right for Barca was very good, Kounde shifting to RB played a large part and it allowed Pedri to comfortably do what Pedri does. Xavi needs to convince Kounde to continue playing as a fullback because it makes the team collectively play much better. The left side needs to find a balance and improve tho if Barca want to reach the next level.
