In his last 2 matches, to me he just looked like a shadow of a player who was so tremendous in his last two seasons with Sevilla and the first 3 and a half in Barca. I don't know if it's related to his work-rate or something else but he just doesn't get back as much or as quickly as he used to, leaves way too much space for the opposition to exploit. With Barca and Sevilla, he set the bar extremely high and probably the expectations are too high but for me he just isn't playing at the world class level consistently as he used to. He's still really good but not amazing like he used to be.
