Douglas was not a defender.

That year City spend minus sales was 200m.

They got all those defenders plus Silva, plus Douglas Luiz plus Jack Harrison. Eight players for 200 m.

My point being that is not an embarrassment.

KDB wages 18 m the highest earner.
Messi earning is it a million a week? Or 72 m Eur a year? Some would find that embarrassing.

Mangala - 45m
Otamendi 45m
Stones - 55m
Joao cancelo - 65m
Ruben dias 68m
Nathan ake 45m
Laporte - 65m
Mendy 58m
Walker 53m
Ederson 40m
Danilo 30m
Bravo 20m
Well its embarassing to spend almost 600m on defenders and not having at least the best defense at some point in last 6 years.
City should have a maldini nesta like cb partnership by now

- In the second half, he played better and created some interesting chances. We see that he chooses his "moments".
- Two good freekicks that were really really dangerous from him.
- He played sometimes as a winger and sometimes as a midfielder/attacking midfielder. The problem is that the squad of Argentina lacks chemistry and tactical organization. It needs more games together and improvements from Scaloni.
- Correa and Lautaro can be interesting partners to Messi. They are both dynamic and offer depth and movement. Their ball control is generally good, unlike many other argentinian players.
- I think Argentina 2021 is much better than Argentina 2018, when it comes to individuals.
- Let's see what improvements will be made for the next game against Colombia (away). It would be a real test for Argentina before starting the Copa campaign.

I?m sorry but Ronaldo and Ronaldinho above CR is kinda disrespectful.They obviously were more talented,but CR?s durability,longevity and sheer production can only be compared to Messi.

Longevity doesnt mean better at his craft, which CR obviously isnt.

as usual in NT the biggest chances he has are fk or long distance otherwise he can score only on penaldo, good luck to win copa, chile isn't even good as previous years. will be another summer of PAIN.
