Great performance from just about every starter, plus Pedri obviously. Maybe only Ter Stegen again looked shaky, especially in that first half, but made up for it with some nice saves in the 2nd one, even though I thought he should've saved that Soler header, it was straight at him. Funny how he makes some great saves on tough shots, yet concedes the shots straight at him. Very impressed by Dest, maybe he can be our future RB after all, it's clear Xavi has done some quality coaching with him (well he did that for everyone, but Dest especially needed it).

The lineup against Napoli pretty much picks itself: Ter Stegen; Dest, Araujo, Pique, Alba; De Jong, Busquets, Pedri; Adama, Aubameyang, Gavi (or maybe Dembele here, but content with him coming on as an impact sub, especially since Gavi and Pedri both simply have to play right now). Ferran needs to be benched on Thursday, I'm assuming that's why Xavi didn't take him off today and didn't give him a bit of rest, as opposed to Frenkie, Auba and Gavi.

Don't remember such great attacking combos since best days of Lucho. Xavi certainly knows how to play attacking football. Hope defense can be fixed with smart additions. With current guys it would be tough for any coach.

Would Puyol come back to work with our defence I wonder ?
