Xavi Espart’s LaLiga debut was staggering. The Lahm comparisons make total sense , he didn’t just hug the touchline; his tactical IQ to invert and dictate tempo was insane for a debutant. He looked completely unfazed. Was winning aerial duels aswell . Really have high hopes for him

Feels good knowing we can rest Eric in matches now 🙏
Looking sharp, some heavy touches and he is quite fast.
We can develop him as a good backup 🍻
Half of these academy grads could just quit football and do full-time modeling
Very impressive full debut. Wasn’t scared of the moment and even though it was just one single game, I completely get the Lahm comparison that Flick made (I swear I’m not overrreacting, just saying that I get it)
07 generation 😭🙏
Now, all he need to make coordination with yamal with crosses
Teammates gotta stop approaching him asking for the ball at their feet after he defeated his man and has the space to drive, they’re just bringing more defenders into his space. He can handle it when he chooses to take them on, they should trust him, but an extra defender ruins his plans.
If they play enough with each other, they’re gonna learn what this kid can do.
Can someone search la masia drawers and building for a striker. Thank you very much
Still young, a lot to learn. First conceived goal was due to him caught in no man’s land. He was ball watching instead of marking the opponent.
Kid looks like a baller, and a proper Barça fullback.
Definitely exciting but we do need La Masia to diversify a bit from the physically a pushover types if we need to fully depend on it.
It really looks like he has all the positional intelligence that Fort lacks. Really good at occupying the right spaces at the right times instead of just insisting on bombing vertical overlaps again and again. Obviously still extremely unpolished, but I think he has a genuine chance of establishing himself in the first team over time.
The 2007 generation from La Masia is on another level 🔥
Guy played really well.
Wait the ’07 generation?
But I’m from ’07…
Damn
Ok now I can see lahm in him….bit raw tho …
It’s crazy to think that there are already proffesionals who can’t remember the day Spain won the World Cup
Why is it always Stayin Alive playing as background music.
He looks very confident. Wow.
great defensive skill. I cant even lie.
Damn I’m already a fan after his first two games
I see good things but I also saw good things with Hector forte
he has great defensive and tackling skills. can only improve. let’s see offensively when he plays more minutes with Lamine, whose he played with since they were kids
