We're starting to really string those short quick passes in front of the 16m box in the last games. Much more dominant centrally. Gundogan signing, De Jong being class, Gavi back in midfield + Lewa's resurgence in form play a big role.

Lewandowski starting to get faster and more in rhythm. Solid half for him.

Quit trolling. They wanted frenkie sold two years back before xavi turned him into a proper player.

You should thank xavi. Frenkie should thank him too.

Two years back FDJ was Barcas best player after Messi when that season had finished.

Then next season was best midfielder under Xavi when team in form.

Dejong is crazy with the ball but he is still underemployed. He needs to be less conservative sometimes in passing especially when he cuts through and opens space for himself. He does the hard thing that very few in the world do just to play a safe pass .

Middle of the pitch a bit too crowded for my taste in the last third. Can understand Cancelo drifting centrally to help in the buildup, but neither Raphinha nor Cancelo has provided much of a threat or width from the right
