Pep came, even when his team came out, I thought, this is a bit odd.
There's no fullback in the side, no natural fullback.
Obviously, O'Reilly was playing on the left, who's really a midfield player.
And he's been playing midfield in recent weeks really well.
We've seen him play fullback before, but he's not a natural fullback.
On the other side, Kusanovic, I guess he played there because of...
Vinicius Junior's pace and he's really quick but he's a central defender and then obviously he played quite you know three wingers really it was I thought it was a strange formation and the way that he played he left out 8 Norrie who's been I think coming back to fitness played really well what do you make of it Micah?
It's easy to know in sight, obviously, when it's gone tits up.
They've been really poor, Madrid.
Really, really poor.
Very odd one with Donnarumma coming out as well, wasn't he?
I mean, A, should he have come out?
I don't think so necessarily flying out like that.
If he does, he has to get the ball.
And the weird thing, he took his hands away.
I think he obviously thought he was outside the box.
So he's thinking, oh, I'm going to get a red card and, you know, so I'll leave it.
He was clearly comfortably inside the box.
Those sort of things do happen.
But, I mean, Fede Alverde, I don't know whether you saw the quotes that Trent said after the game that he thought he's the most underrated footballer in the world's game.
