I’ve heard some say, “It was just against mighty Como” are you kidding me? Did you even watch the match? Because Ronald Araújo was nothing short of immense. Let’s hope he keeps this form going.
When Araújo is firing on all cylinders, our defense becomes an unbreakable wall. What Flick can add is that extra layer of maturity and experience, sharpening his defensive techniques and helping him improve his on-ball skills.
Overall, it was a solid performance from Barcelona. Araújo and Curbasi complemented each other beautifully at the back.
And then there’s Fermín pure joy to watch. He’s going to be a crucial piece for us as the season progresses.
Marcus Rashford still needs to find his rhythm with the team, but oh my goodness, did you see that run for the assist to Raphinha? That’s exactly the kind of impact we want from him. That assist showed he’s capable of greatness.
Good luck to all of us, Culers, this season! For now, I’m off to enjoy some Garri with milk.
