Has excellent ball playing skills,must improve finishing…But yes unlike many of U-20 teammates like Centurion,Iturbe he may be on the way to fulfill his potential.
It’s just 2 games as far
He looks really really good !
Sadly, the CL has become a very predictable competition. The quarter finalists for this edition will be: Bayern, Real, Barca, Atletico, PSG, Arsenal, Juventus and Manchester City. With the announcement UEFA made today it will become even more boring. Half of the spots will go to England, Spain, Italy and Germany.
The other European countries should withdraw and form their own league with national champions and not runners up, no 3 and no 4. It used to be fun in the past with surprise winners like Red Star Belgrade, Ajax, Celtic, Porto, PSV etc. These days the rich countries dominate everything. Poor clubs cannot compete anymore because their best players are bought by the rich ones.
Money is ruining football. We will have the same teams over and over again.
