Ode, Gabriel, Raya and White and Jorgi were only player who looked like they’d played a CL tie.
Agree, he has more in his locker to put attackers through, because he can also create the disorder and space for the final pass himself if needed. You move a bit, he'll find you eventually. He is so good at releasing the ball a few yards down the pitch while dribbling defenders himself. This is in contrast with Kevin De Bruyne, for example, who mostly only plays through balls by seeing pre-existing gaps, or gaps created solely by the forwards' movement, and exploiting them from afar.He is literally the best midfielder for through balls and balls into the box across all 7 leagues.
