With Serge Gnabry available on the market for a reasonable fee I just assume that every team searching for a RW look his way. No other player in Bundesliga created more xT per 90, not through passing or carries, than the German this season.

Villarreal got no business of competing with the elite (didn’t play in La Liga until ‘98 + comes from a town with 50.000 citizens) yet they’ve been a consistent top team in Spain for more than a decade and now they’ve arrived at their very first European final.
A well run club.

Denmark is a role model for every small/medium country looking to compete with the big nations. Their talent development in the last decade has steadily improved due to accurate investments, and the player pool will always be key to national team success. Everything else follows.

If tonight’s performance wasn’t proof enough of how Ronaldo can’t be untouchable in Manchester United’s Xl anymore I don’t know what will be. Simply doesn’t add enough value during 90 minutes to warrant a spot over more needed profiles.

“Player wages are 110% of the club’s income”.
This Laporta quote from the press conference is impossible to grasp. What Bartomeu and his entire management have done to Barça is indescribable, one of the worst pieces of management I’ve ever heard of.

Pedri at LW is suitable when facing an aggressive high pressing team, constantly inverting and dropping close to FdJ/Busquets to support them. Creating an extra, ball-secure, option between the lines.

Pedri went from an unknown Segunda player to a Euro starter for Spain within a year. Arguably the most sensational rise I’ve seen from a player ever.

The way Barça just played a goal-hunting Betis off the park during the last 15-20 minutes through sustained spells of possession speaks volumes about the spirit Setién has set into this team, the polar opposite to Valverde's days where opponents easily pushed Barça back.

We always knew Messi did a great job covering up Barça’s cracks but that the decline would be this clear… that achievement might’ve been underrated.

Barça are growing rapidly under Setién, the issues from the first games (mainly final third problems) are fading away. The long-term solution of Setién was always exciting but now I'm starting to believe in short-term success as well. Things are looking better than expected.

Charles De Ketelaere to Milan is one of the most exciting moves og the summer. The definition of a versatile attacking player who can take on different roles in different positions and perform different tasks. Big prospect.

Luis Enrique identified the weaknesses behind Italy’s midfield line and the spaces they leave when pressing, spaces Dani Olmo has thrived in. Lucho deserves so much praise for his team selection and game plan here.

Just clocked that Messi has averaged at least 1.00 non-pen G/A per 90 during the last 15 seasons bar one, and his worst ever tally, 0.77, would place him in the 95th+ percentile in Europe every single season.

The Ferran Torres to Barça rumors make a lot of sense, exactly the kind of player they’re lacking up front. Wide attacker who thrives when running in behind and creates lots of shots while being involved in the box. Would offer diversity to Barcelona’s ball-dominant profiles.

Frenkie de Jong just continues to grow, one of the best players on the pitch again. Influential in *all* phases of the game and it’s no exaggeration. Combative, intense and focused off the ball while being progressive from deeper areas and involved in the final third.
