Said this the other day in this thread... he is another player that is all or nothing and Barca play with 4 of them and it looks like becoming too much and other areas suffering.

His positioning to hold possession is lacking and loses every duel.

Yes, the lad knows how to time runs and score, but helps little in control.

I like him tho.

He is a second striker more or less that works hard and can finish.

Not much of a 'football brain' when it comes to decision making or how to pause etc.

Didn't like that he literally stopped every movement once he got the ball, stood still and did a safety pass. Despite his goal, he was very weak today. Maybe too intimidated to not risk stupid ball losses, but you can't expect to get many chances against Madrid stopping the movement of every attack, give Madrid the opportunity to adjust and do some safety pass, so no one blames you for a mistake.

Yeah it's evident that this guy has lots of heart, skill and fearlessness but making smart plays at the right time will never be his strong suit. Still good player to have around.
It is not easy to get a decent shot on from middle of area running forward like that.

Was poor decision.

He is always good for a goal and did well in scoring. However, in a game like that you can't allow to make a decision he has taken when Barça was 1-2 down as a pass very likely would have resulted in 2-2.

He is still young though and I hope he learns from that.
