Well let's hope players won't be completely burnt out later on.

Neymar was the poster boy of Brazil football when he was at Santos. So sure he would gain a lot attention from media and thing like Ballon Dor. He finished in top 10 in 2011 for example. Yamal also likely finishes in top 10 this year. At 17 years old (for what he did at 16 actually).

Mou was just too obsessed with Barca.

You can't measure Iniesta's greatness by goals or direct assists. Look at this performance vs Arsenal in 2006 UCL final when the team was losing https://x.com/MagicalXavi/status/1763915095913234582?t=nBJFA6sBzrJrMDlxxOx0ow&s=19

Go to Madrid only to become a second fiddle.

He has no chance as a 9 imo. Never strong, quick enough for that role. And with his mediocre technique, even worse. This is a new Barca. Olmo can play that old Barca style a bit because he has ability and technique for that. Fati doesn't. He can't make his teammates to follow his move.

Yamal also is one of Euro 2024 MVP. And he plays in much tougher, stronger league. Vitor Roque or Endrick looked like beast in Brazil. Not disrespect Neymar and Brazil league btw. He is of course one of most gifted player ever.

He looked for classic Barca 1-2 pass but this is a new Barca. No one play that kind of style here anymore (except Olmo). And he would ruin every move with his elephant touch btw.

There are great games last season. Though overall it is still a poor season. Xavi tried a lot experiments.

Was Santos Neymar more talented than current Yamal? I don't think so. Neymar was more of a trickster but Yamal now is already world class at decision making. Very good dribbler, also can be tricky one though not as much as Neymar. Bear in mind that Yamal is just a 17 years old boy. He is...

Even when Iniesta was at current Pedri's ages, he always shone in big games, big moments. Check his UCL performances in 2006 vs Milan, Arsenal... or his El Clasico.

He could not even make it for Brighton.

Bayern and Real next. Will see whether or not he can raise for big occasion like Don Andres.

Incredible player. Even better now under Pep. Will be an all time great defender.

His ball control is probably best in Europe right now. Equally good both feets too.

Isn't this game from last season? He hasn't returned yet.

Gavi return means Jamdav maybe return too.

Xavi was several level above Pirlo. Pirlo could not deal with opponent's pressure, that's why he played in quarter back role with other midfielders protected him. Can't compare to a king like Xavi. Kross is better than Pirlo imo.

All world cup winner coaches are native coach btw. Pretty sure other major tournaments too, except Greece in 2004 with Otto Rehhagel.

Maybe porque is a writter in Marca. Make sense.
