Separately-about the statistics that blew my mind. PSG have the biggest number of shots after fast attacks in the top leagues-15. But no, in Opta's reference book, Fast Break means an attack starting with a defensive action in your half of the field. This is a counterattack in the most customary sense: the opponent attacks, we return the ball and deliver it to the opponent's goal as soon as possible. That is, exactly that football that Enrique disdainfully calls basketball. I wonder if Enrique's teeth would grind if he saw these statistics? Conclusion No. 1: PSG finds enough moments in the style which Enrique does not preach. Conclusion #2: It is as if the squad was congregating for Enrique, but it is easy to imagine this very group of players in a completely different football, where there are a lot of transitional phases. Indeed: Barcola and Mendes, Dembele and Hakimi, Zaire-Emery in the center. And also Kolo-Muani. If, of course, he survives until the times without Enrique.

Leaving aside a few individual errors, Barcelona and Bayern are playing, for the first time since the season's start, their smartest top game. Both teams defend high and press high, hence both try to exploit this characteristic of the opponent. Switching was done from flank to flank, through a dropping attacker, by throwing the ball from deep behind the defenders. There is so much of everything, and all at such a high level. Considering the fact that this team is so young-with coaches changing in the summer-the decision-making is amazing.

And who would have thought that the era of the sheikhs in Manchester City would be sealed with this man? That millions were spent on the obstinate Tevez, crazy Balotelli, the talented De Bruyne, the hyped Sterling, monstrous Aguero, and in the end, the main individual award still would be taken by a guy who was hired for 70 million but he screwed up his first season and spent several years just learning to be a defensive midfielder in Pep Guardiola's team? Well, judging by the trends, this is the worst "Golden Ball" since Nedved, but considering all the other "handouts" given to midfielders, this one was definitely the most deserved. Rodri has been playing for already three years in a row in some crazy way, doesn't allow himself any slumps, but at the same time only grows. He is already not just a defensive midfielder, he is an all-around player. He has box-to-box and top-10-scoring statistics, scores important goals, and his work is finally appreciated.
