Rakitic is better. He can defend as well as attack, he’s less injury prone too.
Rakitic took Croatia to a WC final and was their best player in said final, he was also the best mid these last years as Barca have been racking up league wins.

Jamaican?
Well, even before Pep he was class and god an insane amount of assist in Germany. Imagine if Pep got de Jong. He was there looking at the training facilities.
Rodri
De Jong - De Bruyne
It’s actually mad how good De Bruyne is. You can see he is a attacker but has the stamina, work rate and vision to play as a CM

He was playing as a midfielder for Genk long before he ever met Pep. You guys are starting to overrate just how much influence managers have on players...

dont understand why people are comparing de jong to de bruyne? two different players playing different positions with a 6 year age difference (28 vs 22). at 22 de bruyne was playing for werder bremen while at 22 de jong was guiding his team to the CL semis. it can work both ways, see?

I was being sarcastic. We all know how much Tackle loves Rakitic.

Kevin and especially Bernardo Silva are on a different level with Pep as a coach.
A joy to watch!

Yeah, sometimes it not a manager issue but a quality one. Take a look at our starting eleven today and 10 years back. Now compare the number of players who would get in a world XI now and then.
Now I would only put one of our players and that’s Messi. Maybe ter Stegen Before I could easily field 6-7 Barca players.

Rakitic is better than De-Bruyne. really. i don't think so, rakitic is an overrated rubbish player who does not do anything but pass the ball player next to him

Whenever he's fit, he's absolutely world class and has been for quite some time, when fit i feel he adds more to a team then Hazard for example.
