The whole finished thing, I'd just like to know the rules. I mean, last season he was finished and age caught up to him. But then, how do you proceed to own and disrespect the mighty LaLiga, like it's some farmer's league for 2+ months, after you're finished. Ah, the answer came fast and was simple, it's the holidays, and then age caught up to him again, and is finished again. I was confused tbh, so now you can unfinish yourself with 2 months rest, just buy Messi, Ronaldo, Lewy then and rotate in 2 - 2 - 2 system, profit.

So yeah, forgive me all but I'll wait, there's nothing yet to prove it's the finished state that causes the problems, and direct evidence to the contrary in a great season start. If nothing else, at least deserves the benefit of the doubt, I'd say.

Genius. Better yet - play each of them 30 minutes each game.

I refuse to accept lower standard for Barca just because player A is 37 and performing great for someone who normally retires.

That's true. Ideally someone else would be playing in his place, someone younger. But he is there and doing ok for his age. It's still a low bar but he's doing ok I think.

At the end of the day, it is stats that win.
That's science.
If, say, 50 years from now, success seeking analysts wanted to recreate this year's yet-to-be the treble success, they won't rewind all the Laliga or CL matches from 24/25 season to be impressed with Yamal showy dribbles or Raphinha's odd and lucky finishes. They'll look at the stats, empiric, repeatable data, the vast array of variables with different weights assigned to them, the heaviest will be, as a matter of course, goalscoring propensity - the holy grail of football as a sport- for a given profile of a player. Guess who they looking for...if not another Robert Lewandowski?

Raphinha's contribution will definitely be remembered. He has been immense.

Yamal's contribution should also be remembered because he unlocked the opponents many times.

I am not going to downplay the other players to big up RL9.

My problem is with people scapegoating RL9 because clearly there's an agenda against him in this fanbase. Raphinha and Yamal are getting the flowers they deserve but RL9 isn't.
