Milan Van Dongen joins ESPN FC to break down Sergiño Dest’s game and whether or not Barcelona is a good fit for the young USMNT right back. Will he see enough playing time to develop as a player and is Ronald Koeman the right manager to get the most out of him?

There’s a reason other big clubs like Bayern wanted him. They obviously did their homework on him and liked him.
Hopefully he picks up defensive skills like Davies did last season. So far he looks like a lot of attack and lacking substantial defensive talent
This guy clearly is hurt by Dest decision to play for US .. he is rubbishing the young guy even before he kicks a ball… I know this young man will let him regret this interview.
Nobody talks more sh!t than ESPN FC, these guys have no clue about football.
He is worth taking a risk on. Hes 19, has great potential and I think koeman can help turn him into a serious athlete with a good healthy mindset. It will take time, we have to be patient he isn't a finished product but he'll grow into his shoes at barca in time and with the right mindset
That guy is an idiot
He was getting targeted by Bayern and they say does he have what it takes 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Young or old, there will always be complaining when it comes to Barça’s signings. Just shut your mouth.
This is fantastic for the future of the USMNT. Dest is no worse than Roberto defensively and his offensive creativity is higher.
Sounds like the root cause of the doubt is because he’s American.
Just say you don’t rate him.. lmao
If you think dest can't defend properly them watch USA Vs Canada match where he had Alfonso Davies in his own pocket
He isa wildcard and a risk worth taking. We really haven't had success at rb since Alves do if this works out it's great if it doesn't nothing new to us.
25 million for a substitute ??? as a Barcelona FC fan I really didn't want to hear this at all
If he would of gone to Bayern , he would of said what a great signing and all that other stuff, can’t never have love for Barcelona at all, be happy they got a good talent player. That why at 1:47 he said pavard and kimmich think what you say man
This guy spoke like a bitter ex girlfriend. What's he on about lolest.
As a barca fan I hate barto and his board but if bayern would've bought dest everyone was talking about what a young star player he is and what a talent he is its kinda being too harsh with them
Who else would you get for 20-25 mil in current market. RB is a problematic position at Barca and there are no option. Getting a prospect for 20 mil is a steal imo. This is the kinda move we wanted barca to make in case of dembele. Come on guys you are pundits. Do better.
Yes he does. Him and max aarons and lamptey are the 3 emerging rbs atm
if he plays as a L OR R winger and forgets about RB man.. that would bring the best of him..
Dest is totaly word the risk for barca. If he succeeds they have a rightback for years. And what about the the commercial side in the usa. That 20 Millon they paid is peanuts.
Whoa!! they are expecting a 19 years old kid to be tactically smart and astute . Let him grow as a footballer >> he isn't the finished article just yet.
If he was at Bayern they would of said something else
So much negativity from these clowns. That's sad
nonsense he is a huge talent and is going to make it, he was left out of the team because of the trade talks
Who is this guy ?he sound crazy
This guy is talking BS. Seems like a really biased opinion.
This guy harping on Dest being a sub this season makes me dismiss his whole analysis. It's clear he hasn't done his research because Dest was benched because he was going to be transferred and "attitude issues" as his coach put it. ESPN FC complete hacks. Expect nothing less from a channel that lets Ale spew his nonsense lmao
What is wrong with these anchors? Hating, hating all the time
Everyone knows he is world class prospect, definitely not a few finished Pride but his potential makes him worth the risk. And tbh there are not much RB options in the market that suits Barca at the moment
This dude is such a salty hater. Netherlands and Ajax fans are still pissed that he chose USA over them.
This guys an idiot , no sense of football talent, only criticism 🤮🤮🤮
This guy is obviously salty that Dest chose the U.S. over Holland. He even said it towards the end lol. Dest has already played in El Clasico and was the best player on the pitch!
Worth the risk and isn’t stupid financially. Not bad business
