Destroyed by injuries. It's a shame - he was a very talented individual when coming through at Barcelona. He won a lot at Bayern but he never became the dominating midfielder he was tipped to be. Truth be told, he might have been a little overrated in the young days, but he was definitely killed by injuries too.
It's a shame indeed.
Some bodies break easily, and can't sustain many years unfortunately
I was surprised in 2020 when heard his transfer to Liverpool. I knew he would be quality, but was wondering how long his (already injury ridden) body gonna last under Klopp's high energy ball
