Iniesta rakitic and busq is not inferior breh. The bench is stupid ass tho

Thiago (best mid in the world right now, Barca miss him), Vidal, Alonslow, Martinez, Alaba. Is better than the ageing liability that is barca's midfield.

Kroos, Modric, Casemiro. Are a better midfield than Barca currently.

They are no argue there currently. But iniesta busquets rakitic hardly played together this season. Barca's weak spot is the bench tho. The players that replace key players when needed are far below Barca level. And that goes for all 3 fronts.

Midfield is not as good as it was, their last CL title was down to their front line. Messi's 2015 is up there with his Pep era displays, he played a hybrid role playmaking and finishing. Lucho moved the emphasis away from midfield tiki taka to the forwards. Real have a far better midfield, Casimero is the only one who could be seen as a weak link but he does the job he is supposed to do. Their defence is also bad at the moment and could be improved.
