    Dest playing wide right in the attacking RWB role from the weekend. Barca down 2-0 on aggregate.

    And he should have had an assist. How not 1, but 2 player missed that cross is beyond me.

    Brilliant little bit of skill in the box sets up another shot, maybe Mingueza? but it's right at the keeper.

    Dest feeling it, dribbling in the box opens up space for Dembele to shoot, but it's deflected over the top.

    He has his dribbling boots on to. Made a fun little move in the box, to get a little bit of space to make a pass (successfully)..
    Make another little run, finds an open Dembele, who shoot just over.

    He's playing with a lot of confidence, and so is Barca.

    I also can not explain why Sevilla is high pressing Barca up 2 - 0

    Well, now it's 2-1 ... Dembele great shot - draws it back to make space and puts it in the upper corner.

    That took such a bend that I thought it was deflected. Nope. Just pure sauce.

    dest really does have an elite mentality. right or wrong after getting roasted for his performance against mbappe look at what he has done. a lot of self belief and pride and you love to see it.

    Watching Messi pressure the ball is like watching Tom Brady run the ball

    Acuna stonewalls Dest twice, the 2nd time comically so, which pisses him off enough that he tracks all the way back and tries to return the favor. Not as succesful but he stopped the counter

    Dest has his shit ruined by Acuna and then makes a fantastic recovery run to help take the ball back.

    Good battle between those two, but Dest has gotten the better of it thus far.

    And as I say that, Dest gets tackled by Acuna again.

    acuna got lucky that last time, but after beating him twice gets the benefit of the doubt

    A 3rd time. I'll give Dest credit for goign right at Acuna, but that's a battle Serginio is coming up short. We'll see what happens on the 4th time, because Dest is being aggressive and al it takes is once

    And this time Dest beats Acuna, wins a FK in a dangerous spot. This is fun.

    Now, Dest works with quick touchs and sharp movement off the ball to get the ball from right to left, and eventually passes it further left to open up a good chance for Barca, which turned into a corner.

    He's doing good work today

    Messi quite literally attempting to walk the ball into the goal and chipping it the last yard, only for it to be cleared as it was going in by Acuna
