Bravo never played a international tournament for Barça. Guess this is why he played this one.

Bravo gets such a vast majority of all the playing time that Mats should be getting any minutes he can. Him being upset makes sense. With the way he looked during celebrations it doesn't look like things will be able to remain the way they are after this season. I realize many people here would probably prefer to keep Bravo if one of them *had* to leave, but Mats is the choice that makes the most sense.

No, MAtS should prove that hes the better keeper, he should stay and fight for his place, even if MAtS decides to take the easy route and leave, Bravo can play at the top level for another 3-4 seasons, for now he should stay and learn from Bravo

Even Masip want to leave after this season so if you expect him to stay on the bench for 3-4 seasons and "learn" then you're really mistaken about how all this works.

This is why I always was in favour of loaning him out like Chelsea did with Courtois.

Maybe Liverpool with fellow German Klopp could be a decent move with incompetent Mignolet and that other guy in goal for them.

BTW, not saying he should start all comp before someone slates me for doing so. Just think it would be better with one GK in all comp.

I'm honestly starting to think now that he is not so necessary for us. Goalkeepers can play well until late thirties, Bravo, with his hard work ,is capable of keeping his level for three more years at least. By the time Bravo is too old, we'll just buy a new young keeper, preferably Spanish. There are plenty of good gks in the world today.

I did not say he should stay on the bench for 3-4 years, if MAtS is as good as people think, he will displace Bravo by the end of next season, as long as Bravo is the better keeper of the two he should be our number 1

Should probably be loaned out at the end of this season or the management should take a call about one GK and stick with it.

We should loan him in January to Liverpool(they are interested in him for a while now) for 1 and a half seasons, and get a cheap backup for Bravo

Bravo can be good for another 3-4 seasons. Mats can be good for another 10+.

Yeah, probably shouldn't over analyse this. MATS played no part in this trophy win, so it's understandable he won't be celebrating as hard. Same way as Bravo played no part in the CL and CdR wins.

Unfortunately, he didn't grab his chance when Bravo was injured. And Bravo is clearly the better keeper. Now is up to him. If he still thinks his future is here, then he must show it, otherwise we should let him go.

Stegen should be given too La Liga games ( mostly easier at home matches at first ) and also Bravo should be given knock-out games in the CL.
