Bilbao have some pretty old past it fullbacks (aged 32 and 33). I was going to say, that's some ages that would make Valverde proud, then I realised he is there manager so it all makes sense.
That definitely helped flatter Dembele, who did have an incredible game admittedly. And not to take anything from Dembele, but I do reckon Ferran would have had a productive game too in hindsight, had he started. Not the eyecatching brilliance, but a goal and an assist or two doesn't sound outlandish.
Let's see how whoever is on the wing versus Bayern plays in that fixture. Although with the Inter early kick off we may be knocked out by kickoff time anyways which would change the pressure level.
