    Sorry, wasn't trying to nitpick. Just noting the difference since Konrad is De la Fuente's legal first name.

    A sizable majority of scenarios don't think he'd play in.

    Realistic best case scenario: Barcelona bashes 4-0 in the first 70 minutes and KDLF gets a decent run out while looking at least competent in that time.

    Most likely scenario he'd play in: Barcelona is down at least 2 in aggregate (which would happen if Napoli go up 2-1 in this game) so they're in position to gamble. They have the extra subs. This is actually where he could prove the most, in trying to mount a comeback, if he got 10+ minutes.

    This is a circumstantial opportunity, but one he could take advantage of. They're going to be rare at Barcelona.

    I think they're trying to line him up for a loan within La Liga.

    Or he gets the start coinciding with a polar inversion and 50 years of US dominance in World Cups

    Can they afford to send a bunch of players out of their B team when they don't have any money to sign players for the A team? Keeping Konrad and others in house means they can play for Barca B but also be available for the first team if another injury crisis occurs.

    Is he rated higher than Fati? If not, I doubt he gets off the bench.

    Fati played 24 times in La Liga (32 all comps) this season, so no.

    Was that Konrad grabbing a seat? Looks like it. Anyone know who he’s chatting with?

    I dont think it counts

    Wasn't Zelalem in the Academy for a while despite making a CL appearance with Arsenal?

    As for the game - so far so good. Napoli would win with 2 goals however, so might need a couple more Barca goals to see Konrad

    Awfully hard to spot that handball so they have additional angles?

    That pre-halftime goal for Napoli was a killer. Barcelona needs to score again soon for KDLF to be any more than a time-wasting sub at the end.

    Barcelona 0-5 Napoli (in subs) @ 80'

    Manchu in for Griezmann @ 84'

    Yeah doubtful we see him. This guy Monchu just replaced Griezmann, who Konrad likely would have replaced.
