He's not exposed in league games because so many teams sit back, and his creativity is useful in unlocking games. But he's a massive liability in games where Barca is getting less than 50% possession like yesterday against PSG, even before the red card.

Well, that is why he is a great first sub for Balde/Kounde. That's why Balde injury hurts us so bad.

the possession would have been close to 50/50 at best for PSG if Barca did not go down to 10.

Not defending Cancelo.

Everyone including Cancelo himself should wake up to what he really has to offer and not overpay by a penny.

Think possession was something like 57-43 even before the red card, on the graphic shown on TV, iirc.

Despite the Barca goal, most of the action was happening around the Barca box before that red card.

Forget the eventual 68/32 possession.

Doubt PSG would have been able to maintain 57/43 possession playing 11 on 11.

Not trying to scapegoat Araujo -- PSG was lucky Araujo was able to catch up and foul from behind just outside the box.

You cannot sign him for a big fee. He's a complete liability unless we're dominating possession and play.
