CB is Masche best position at Barca and he has been far better than the weak link there.
He is the leader/organizer is the best at reading the game and covering for others on the break and has been fantastic player for the club.
All this crap about it not being his best position or him being a weak link just shows some people up as totally clueless.
Pep decided to play him at CB and called him his best signing at Barca while he played there. Masch also won the fans player of the year in that position and has gone on to win multiple trophies and two CLs with some of if not the best defensive records around.
Far from being the weak link in defence for me he has been the most important defender. Guess who was missing from the Bayern mauling in CL for example.
People like to point to his mistakes but for a defender asked to cover for so many others and to ask to win the ball early there have been relatively few and the positives he brings far outweighs any mistakes. Mistakes that EVERY defender asked to play the way he has in a team like Barca will make.
Absolute legend of a player and nothing like a weak link or stop gap measure.
