To be fair that was very soft pen. But after that the whole midfield could not even hold the ball and Mbappe went on rampage. The return leg was great for the whole team, even Firpo can pocket Mbappe.

No it was a clear cut pen. Not soft in slightest.
A round of 16 exit can not talk to a semi finalist. Spain failed to win in two opening games then Busi returned and they won (one in 90 and one in 120 minutes), scored 10 goals.
Other top teams won't take Busi because he is old. Already talk before.
I just rewatch it and Frenkie actually triped himself.

Spain only beat Slovakia in 90 mins with Busi and took pens to get past ten man Switzerland.
They couldnt score in first couple games but Busi didnt improve the finishing on return.
Massively overplayed how good he was in that Euros.
Again... current ability not age is what is being discussed. No top team takes a mid that has so many clear deficincies as Busquets and is such a liability.

Nope you are wrong. Clear pen.
Shows the delusion more than anything so suggest it wasnt.
So Spain only won 1 in 90 mins because of Busi but when Spain failed to win in two opening games, it was Spain's finishing problem???
Other top teams will buy Frenkie instead but how many will play him as lone DM?? At least we know Ten Hag won't do that.

Spain failed in opening two games as missed sitters. They absolutely dominated and created chances... what changed is they took them.
With Busi they won 1 of 4 in 90 mins and took pens to get past 10 man Switzerland in last 16. The difference wasnt as marked as made out.
While you try to blame FDJ who won 3 of 3 games when his team had 11 men and then go out in last 16 when best defender is sent off with 40 mins left.
Small margins.
Any top coach would play FDJ lone DM ahead of Busi but bigger point is they would play FDJ in role that suits him lonf before ever playing the liabillity that is Busquets.
Was clear pen v PSG.. you are deluded as trying anyting to make a point at this stage.

Sample size. Few games made Jerry Mina look generational talent.

Nice one
Now try to find the video that shows the clip on FDJ and clear pen.
Your clip is the one all the deluded 'UEFALONA' fans were trying to use as well.
Can remember it all. Nothing new.

Spain also failed to win in 90 minutes because they missed sitters.
Watch gif above and you will see whether it is a clear pen or not.

See above your gif proves nothing.
It was a clear pen and FDJ clipped.
All been discussed before.
You are 100% wrong.
Wait, i cut that clip from a full game and convert it to a gif. There is another version of game that Frenkie is actually fouled???

Yes he was clipped and it was a clear pen.
You are discussing something that deluded fans brought up at time depserate to make out he fouled himself for some bizarre reason.
