Cruyff's Barca actually conceded lot of goals. There was a story that Zubizarreta asked Cruyff how to defend against set pieces, he just answered: I don't know, that's your job. But also scored tons of goals as well.

I would say Pep has way bigger influence to world football than Cruyff, even though Pep learned from him. During Cruyff's coaching period, he absolutely changed Barcelona's football, but not so much outside of Barca (though people really admired his style). His legacy grown bigger later with...

Ran ring around Cannavaro, Nedved, Vieira. No wonder Capello called him phenomeno and wanted to bring him to Juventus immediately.

Koeman was a big bum when he said something :lol:

No way club will sell Pedri for Olmo now (even Olmo is better in Euro). If Pedri continues to struggle with injuries, maybe next season. But not now. Frenkie is that player.

More relevant than Zidane, Modric too.

Yamal's assist vs PSG is already bigger than Fati UCL legacy (he doesn't even have that btw).

Absolute ghost in 2018 World Cup. Benched by 18 years old Pedri in 2020 Euro. Yes, nobody even remember that he played for Spain NT, tell you how bad he was for them. Great at Spain U21 though.

Yamal Euro 2024 alone is greater than anything Fati will ever achieve in his career.

Off topic but then none of current Barca midfielder is midfielder by this standard.

He won 1 UCL with Bayern and injuried most of the time. Won just FA cup and energy drink cup with Liverpool, injuried a lot too. Completely shite for Spain NT (i don't think people even know he played for Spain). It was still bad to let him go in 2013 though.

Think he enjoys life in US and probably doesn't need to concentrate 100% for football. If he still stays in Europe now, his physicality is still the same as his last season with PSG (sharp and agile).

Exactly what you guys said about Xavi or Koeman when they first arrived.

Doubt he will be even close to Morata. He is more Braithwate level imo.

Pep would be 100% fit for any Barca team. Well, he would be called as the best mid in today football

He won't turn into a centre forward. Similiar thing last season when there were reports that Xavi was impressed...

One is RW, one is LW. Do you expect they will play tiki taka often? Yamal also assists Nico in the final.

Well, i don't think club should go for Olmo even though he just had a great Euro. Just saying current no 10/attacking midfielders are not really good.

No he wasn't. Just one lucky panenka. Pretty invisible vs Pirlo and Gattuso. Basically only one great game vs very overrated Brazil side (over 100kg Ronaldo as a starter lol)

I much disagree about Zidane in 2006. Aside from vs Brazil, he was pretty average in other games. Not to mention a stupid red card in the final. Can you imagine Messi was sent off in the World Cup final and his team lost?? There are many better performances than Zidane in 2006. Hell, even...
