We didn't even try, so we would never know for sure. But you have Unai telling Valverde that Mbappe wanted us after the Neymar deal, as he felt he will be a natural replacement for Neymar, and how they worked hard to convincehimto come to Paris. And Zahavi who brokered the deal, saying Monaco...

He was two levels better in terms of talent, ability and potential, and it was clear back then. They weren't comparable, it was just Fernandez having a narrow vision and being hell bent on getting his guy.

Dembele was never a bigger talent or better fit than Mbappe, and he showed his chaos way if playing in BVB

I like both for the timing. Xavi brought calm effect to the Camp Nou and helped a massive rebuild, but his time was over and we needed to start increasing our pace, and Flick is good for that.

Bartou brought young striker, that was Paco. The guy had a chance to bring Mpabbe, and choose Dembele over him.

We haven't seen a 2nd stint for Barca coach since LVG over 21 years ago. I won't be so sure of it.

Honestly, I don't think we need a young backup players, unless they are a potential World Class players of sort. I prefer to go for a 26 years old Mingueza who knows his role, than a 21 years old player who needs playing time for development

There is always a honeymoon phase with young players, and then with time there are a more criticism. Casado is still an upgrade over what we had last year in CDM, but he is showing his limitations tbh, and why Bernal was ahead of him early this season.

It depends on what he has in mind. If he doesn't want to go to retirement league before his retirement, or want it to delay as possible. Then it is better to extend with Barca. Or maybe his family is settled here and he wants to stay. I am not saying ut will happen, but that's what we should...

He has been on the bench already

Bad on defense, did a decent couple of runs in the 2nd half

I actually liked him against Benfica. He added a much needed agility and we looked better with him, than with Gavi I would sell him in the summer, or even now if there is a good offer,but he deserves more minutes IMHO.

He looks so bad and regressed physically. I really hope it is a rust thing rather than his new self.

This was a Bundesliga type of chaos attacking game, it will happen from time to time to every team. We showed heart there. Not everything worth a learning lesson or criticism about drawbacks, this an entertainment industry. Enjoy the win and don't over think stuff.

He had a great second half tbh

Very proud of the team, and really a pure entertainment.

Dude, a defender first job is to realize the surrounding, the GK running and you either clear it or leave to him. PERIOD. Tek is having bad game, but this is absolutely on Balde. He leaves it or clear it and it isn't a goal.

Miss you Mister

And Tek would have cleared it if Balde didn't touch it. Balde had no awareness where Tek is, this should be something he is aware of

That was Balde mistake, rather than Tek tbh
