Scored against Freiburg after a gorgeous combination play from Auba & Castro.

Yeah, that little backheel dink by Castro was especially neat.

According to ruhrnachrichten which is reliable for Dortmund they say BVB officials question Raphael Guerreiro's professionalism after another muscle injury has ruled him done for the season.

Seems to have been perma injured since the Euros as he hardly played at all this season.

Sport claims that we have contacted Dortmund for him as he would supposedly be much easier to get than Junior from Betis.

Apparently better as an LM than as an LB these days and has had his fair share of Injuries.

Offensively he is very good but defensively I thought he was not good.

 

[te amo barca]

Offensively he is even better than Alba, but defensively... there is a reason he never plays as a LB for Dortmund anymore.

 

[MTL_Barca]

I don't see his versatility being used here especially with Valverde so that leaves him as a LB who is good on offense, bad in defense and injured quite often.

Maybe if Dortmund is ready to sell very cheap due to him only having only 1 year left on his contract.

 

[EdmondDantes]

I don't rate him much, even as a back up. Digne is a much better player, and we should be aiming higher than him.

this guy was a disaster at the world cup as a LB

 

[Barcilliant]

No no and no.

Spanish media report on FC Barcelona's interest in Raphael Guerreiro. The 25-year-old is to be built up as a long-term replacement for Jordi Alba, and the Catalans also like Guerreiro's versatility in other positions.

Guerreiro has got his injury problems under control and has been an indispensable part of the team ever since. His playing intelligence is outstanding, paired with his technical skills Guerreiro can always create dangerous actions with the ball. Lucien Favre doesn't see him as a left-back - due to the lack of robustness in one-on-one. With his technical brawn, the Portuguese compensates for the lack of one or two percent speed.

Guerreiro will, however, consider whether he can get the shares he wants and needs in Barcelona. His performances in the past season qualify him for an enagament with the Catalans. But the season has also shown that Guerreiro needs rhythm and trust. The family situation speaks against Barcelona. His wife and his two children should rather favour a return to France.

For a long time, Paris St. Germain was regarded as the probable destination of the Portugsiesen, who grew up in France. Thomas Tuchel has a soft spot for the left foot, which came to Dortmund as a left-back discovery at the 2016 European Championships, but which he then converted into an offensive foreign player. Guerreiro also got on very well with Tuchel. He rejected offers to negotiate an extension of his contract, which expired in 2020. In order to have him drawn in a year that is not free of charge, Borussia must react this summer and sell him.

And he was a rock at the EURO as a LB.

Let's not write him off after one bad tournament. he was coming off a long and serious injury.
