Did he have an injury or something? guy was golden boy in 2017, scored against bayern in semifinal cl, scored against juve in cl final, scored 2 dream goals against valverde's! Barca to secure the super copa, had top matches in 17/18 but since 18/19 he started to decline and nowadays he barely create danger

Sigh....he was never that good, how many times does it need to be said?

He had a rocket shot, which you occasionally still see, but he has always been an average player, and wasn't really a starter back then either, always better of the bench.

Asensio is doing fine, he is a limited player and thats okay.

What happened with his left foot? His rocket shots were insane

Nothing has happened to it, had a few long shots last season.

He just had a period a few years back where everything went in, wasn't going to last.

Fati acting like he doesn't know Asensio's had an ACL and has stalled in progress about 4 years ago.

Talent and knack for finding a shooting position 16 yards out is still there in Asensio, but for a guy with this much experience he offers so little. He's no Robben or Messi to make out that this left footed rocket is a regular weapon of his.

I do think he needs a different coach style tho. He's only worked under Zidane and Ancelotti. Give him to Conte or Poch and could be very interesting.

He did have a big injury, yes, but i still think he was an average player overall even before it.

These pesky madridistas overrating players

All fans of every club do it from time to time. It's a form of wishful thinking and wanting to deny this could ever be a bad transfer. We did it with Arthur.
