Of course, he's a brilliant player.

The two wide players, again, we're talking about wide players, with Lewandowski, who's been backing the team because Ferran Torres hit a little bit of a buffer in terms of his form.

He might have to come in and play wide.

Fermin Lopez might have to play wide.

Maybe it'll be Dani Olmo.

Maybe it'll be Gavi, who I think is back sort of available again.

So he has played in that position.

So they have options to play out there, but they don't have somebody with...

the running power and the finishing power from that left-hand side that Rafinha was giving them.

And it's as simple as that.

He's one of the best at running in between that gap.

A lot of people can make runs.

but it's the timing of the runs when he's not got the ball and the ball's on the other side with Lamal or whoever it is, Laminyamal, and he drives between right back and centre half into that gap, that diagonal run to the back post.

He does it time and time again, and lo and behold, he gets on the end of a lot because his timing is excellent, but they haven't got anybody that will do that to the same consistency, and so it's a blow for Hansi Fleck, but I don't think it's a hugely damaging blow.

They'll still win the title.

Yeah, because I think they've got enough good players in that front area.

They've got probably six players for that front three area and maybe in the hole in behind.

They've got at least six players in there that could shuffle around, maybe five shuffle around Lewandowski.

and can play in several positions.

I think that's one of the good things for Hansi Flick.
