This is great experience for him. Just being able to train and defend against Vini and Mbappe will help him more in his development than rotting on another team's bench.

Ceballos/Modric double pivot behind him? It didn't take long for Carlo to drop Mario Martin the first chance he got, despite him being the only DM available.
He looks much better in training than all the other youth CBs, and he is much younger. I am quite impressed how he is able to react and get in last minute tackles without fouling. Not going to get super excited until he has another year to fill out, but he definitely has potential.
🚨Arda Güler will play in right midfield against Barcelona with Ceballos on the left and Luka Modrić between them. @diarioas pic.twitter.com/xUDSM5kyOY— Madrid Zone (@theMadridZone) August 2, 2024 According to AS Arda will play RCM with Modric in between him and Ceballos. It's evident Carlo isn't interested in winning the game instead trying out players in certain positions Hope we get to see Arda play more than 45 mins. Would love to see him with Vini.

Vini's the DREAM teammate to fine tune your 1v1 defensive skills with ....dude will take you to your limits every training session lol

Every single time with these pre season games played in the US. You don’t even know if they are going to go ahead with it being tropical storm seasons etc.
I hope Brahim plays this season, he's too good to be sitting in the bench and I love his attitude. I'm not saying he is a starter but I really hope he features regularly in the rotation.
Clasico is postponed to a later time due to weather. Remind me to tell you how ridiculous things have been for the media so far on the post game pod— Kiyan Sobhani (@KiyanSo) August 3, 2024 Update: weather is holding up, they may start on time. If not, possible 9pm start instead of 7. There is a rule that 30 minutes need to pass after thunder. I don’t know. This is above my pay grade, I’m drinking coffee and tweeting updates as they come. https://t.co/vYvz11MSYl— Kiyan Sobhani (@KiyanSo) August 3, 2024
The players are warming up according to Marca. So, unless things change now the game will proceed at the original schedule
So..... PSG is Mbappe's boyhood club??? SMH journalist need for a narrative really stains credulity at times.
The long driven passes we occasionally saw from Rudiger last season need to become a regular part of the game.
