Very slick. Tasty.
You never expect him to dribble as well as he does. Weird guy. For as tall as he is, he has very nice skillset and smooth moves.

Do agree with calls that we should move towards a double pivot with DJ and Nico.

Lovely moves but he had a mile of open space in front of him, could just turn into it instead of going backwards.

I am not talking about move he made here but in other situations. He is surprisingly good in small space with slick moves.

He knows how to receive the ball well and use his body to create space
That move was pure Zidane indeed
His dad is Fran so he is gonna be skilful
I am liking this kid more and more ..
Maybe it?s time for him to start in place of my beloved Busqs and bring Busqs on for the last 30 minutes of games .

It might have looked nice but it was really stupid. He had a massive space in front of him with several runners 1v1 and chose to go backwards for some reason.

The ball was slowing down and Nico was already in a static position. You do realize that was his first touch? The Kyiv midfielder was already in motion and closing him down, so thanks to the momentum he probably would have dispossessed/tackled Nico. Nico evaded the challenge, that's all.
You are really looking for things to hate lol

After his first touch he can just turn 90 degrees, flick it behind himself, backheel, or chest it forward when he receives it. He just didn't look and know that the space was open, that's all.

After his first touch, there are already two Kiyv midfielders near him ready to close him down.

Here is after he takes 2 touches. He can find Gavi in an advanced position and the 2 midfielders pressing him are very far away so Gavi will be 1v1 with the backline. Better example?
He beats the guy on the left needlessly and takes himself backward in the process, meaning that good pass is no longer available and the guys caught out of position can reposition.

I agree, he could have passed to Gavi straight away instead of taking on the second player. But that's not what you were saying in the beginning with that first picture. Definitely couldn't have exploited that middle space
