Maybe does Lewandowski come back in?
Certainly, do Barca have to look at buying a new number nine next summer?
And for Spain, you know, what other options are there in terms of that debate?
that centre-forward position.
So, like I say, it feels like it almost silenced that debate with the way that he was playing earlier in the season.
And everyone thought, OK, this is... This can be the guy for Barca.
Maybe not long-term, but certainly right now.
And it feels like with this run of form, like I say, that debate has opened up again.
And as well with the national team, it's not like...
There aren't a host of centre-forward options.
You'd say, OK, that's the guy instead.
You know, Morata, who was the captain, of course, when they won the Euros, has drifted out of the picture with his form in Italy.
And like I say, there's not another obvious centre-forward candidate for Spain right now, so it probably is him.
But certainly Luis de la Fuente will be hoping that he gets back to the kind of form he was in earlier in the season, as he gets towards the end of the season going into the World Cup.
You know, Barca haven't been unbeatable this season.
They have slipped up in some high-profile games, but I think overall, you look at them now, they're in a position where Lamine, as we've seen, is right on form.
Pedri provided the assist for Lamine at the weekend.
You've got Rafinha in there.
