Pique has been Barca's Air force that has been dominant in the air.
Dribbling and 1 on 1 is the price you pay for air dominance.
Can you realistically expect someone 1.94m to dribble his way up the pitch on regular basis although he has tried on from time to time with disastrous counters right after.
Bayern's full court press did not backfire because the pet and Griezman lacked speed (Davies, Fati, peak Dembele). Only Messi can 1 on 1 reliably but he was often 1 on 3.
don't think any 1 of the 8 goals was Pique's fault.
Classy (as Iniesta) for him to offer to step aside. Take note pet.
Araujo is 3cm shorter, 6kg heavier, much younger, faster and more athletic. Time will tell.
