    I still maintain France and Spain as the top two contenders for this. France never seem to run out of talent.

    Germany though, never look like having a great squad per se, but almost always perform well as a team. not sure about their state now.

    I'd say minimal chances against the other European top dogs. you never know but as mentioned the lack quality compared to France, Spain.. i' d put them in tier the bottom of tier 2, under England, Portugal, Germany

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    he plays the attacker onside for the first goal, and generally meh first half. he was good in second. Will never make (OK, maybe rarely) direct / risky passes, it's not his game.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    looked more focused. heard his injury is one that needs time and might make him a bit more hesitant, but he will be OK.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    some games he is better than feran. some he is worse. both are t good enough for next season so we have a big gap to fill. Nice hattrick today, in his first start since injury. perhaps after the break things can turn around for us

    4 - Ronald Araújo

    he has issues playing from the back, OK. but what was your issue with him this game? he stayed on the instructed offside line as instructed and chased back shadows. he won most of his aerials and didn't make a blunder. really point me to his fault this game.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    the also look confused when we lose the ball. everyone looking at each other instead of the ball, to understand if they should move forward for offside or fall back. it's like watching a sitcom.

    14 - Marcus Rashford

    he looks uninterested to press really.. goes just to casually block spaces (common with wingers but not in flick system). same with yamal. it's like we have messi and suarez in their late 30ies without even 30% of the quality ro compensate. and this is a player in his prime and a teenager.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    they weren't robbed though. there was no penalty, on the contrary, its the attackers foul. and on the keeper he clearly gets his leg and non of the ball. they have every right to boo and try to steer the refferee, that's the advantage of home games.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    why do we need to either go full kamikaze or low block double decker. this is a strawman by flick. no one expects barca to low block defense, we will fail. what about some balance? I know, its an extremist proposition...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    with xavi there were usually obvious brain facts from players that costed us goals. now, most goals are carbon copies. no obvious player at fault.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    he will not be messi, that much is obvious. but he is still a really young, really good player who actually needs less social media and more training.
