First match: Gavi, Pedri, Kessie, de Jong all started
Second match: Busquets - de Jong - Kessie
Both midfields are still better than the rest of the league bar Madrid.
Again, what is the argument? That the EPL teams he's facing now are weaker than their Liga counterparts? Not only does this contradicts all logic, but it also contradicts what the man himself thinks:
"”I’m not trying to underestimate La Liga, but the games here are much more difficult, "
I have to remind you that top La Liga players and coaches are flocking to mid table and relegation EPL teams ffs. This isn't 2013.
