Only Benzema has won Ballon dor in the past 6 years while winning the CL. Lewa would have got it in 2020 too, but it shows that winning CL isn't the decisive factor above all. The likes of Salah and Raphinha also has phenomenal year so far, Dembele chances aren't that big IMHO

He is amazing tbh. I doubt we have a chance for him, other big clubs will go for him for a starting spot.

He has the numbers and consistency, but man is lacking in eye test. He scores the most shitty goals out there and never look outstanding in any aspect of his game.

And could continue to do so in the semi's with Bayern.

90 minutes every 10 days is exaggerating it. I would say 110 minutes every 2 games is more about it. Players like to keep that rhythm no matter how old they are. He will need to skip that international break too, if is smart enough, especially considering the opponents (Lithuania then Malta)...

It depends on who wins the CL. With Barca (Raphinha) Real (Mpabbe) or Bayern (Kane) it is over for him, maybe PSG with Dembele but I doubt it tbh. Those teams are obviously the main contenders atm. But teams like Inter, Atletico or Arsenal winning it and Salah will get the bdor most likely...

Half of European big clubs could do better with another difference maker no9 or LW. Both positions are lacking enough elite talents. You gotta learn how to do without it or with players changing positions (Raphinha as LW for example or Dembele as no9)

I won't put it past PSG and Lucho to go out from Villa.

We do that with Betis, and then fans get mad about it. Doing it in Portugal seems like a good idea, but Barca appreciate developing players close from home so much

Different game, obviously, but it is more clear he is being used centrally. Which I honestly agree with, he is more of D.Olmo type.

His style is surely attractive tbh, maybe not Lebron's attractive but he is a walking highlight machine IMHO. Crazy stuff, he completed treble double in the 3rd, then by end of the game he added another treble double.

This sounds like Raphinha tbh. It feels like buying a LW to convert him to no9. It could be worth trying next year tbh

I see him as a decent cheap option like we had in Digne for example back in the day. Someone worth below 25M. I am not sure Monaco will sell for such number, though. I would prefer Mingueza for cheap, if he accepts coming back, or if we are going to splash some cash then get Omar from...

Maybe not now, but historically it was. Ter Stegen and Bravo were top 10 most expensive GK ever in 2014 at 12M deals. We signed lord Mathieu and Vermaelen cost us more. Neuer is still a top 10 most expensive GK at 30M, Ederson at 40M is 5th most expensive and Kepa is still World record at 80M...

Barca wasn't that demanding from GK until Pep's era, and Buffon would have been a success anywhere at any time. The "Buffon wouldn't have succeeded here" is the Catalan version of 'can they do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke'.

Wish him all the best, it is really rough

Former player praising a former teammate, colour me surprised

Not a bad appearance today.
