Marc Casadó showed that he is the ideal midfielder for Barça against Joshua Kimmich

La Masia took a step forward in FC Barcelona's 'thrashing' of Bayern Munich. Although Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski dominate the headlines as scorers, the four goals for the Catalans came from assists by the youth players who continue to 'explode' in the first team. One of these is Marc Casadó, whose brutal performance in the centre of the field has 'dazzled' both fans and outsiders.

The midfielder, whose appearance in the starting eleven was accelerated by the numerous injuries that Barça had in this area of ​​the field at the start of the season, continues to grow night after night and in his first 'examination' of weight against the Bavarians, in a special match for him when facing his idol, Joshua Kimmich, he passed with flying colours.

Is Casadó the ideal midfielder for Barça?

The youth player had an 88% success rate in his passes (30/34), won 5 out of 10 duels and was only dribbled past twice in the 90 minutes he played against the Munich side. In addition, he crowned his performance with a spectacular 40-metre switch of play to assist Raphinha for the third goal for the Blaugrana team, this being his third assist of the season, the second in the Champions League.

Hansi Flick 'surrendered' to the player at the end of the match, assuring that "it's incredible, if you know that Casadó comes from Barça Atlètic and you see the level he has now... He's incredibly good defensively and with the ball at his feet. It's La Masia, it's La Masia." In this way, it is clear that, beyond the options that are being talked about to reinforce the midfield, the solution is at home, and it bears the name of Casadó.
