Barcelona recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Mallorca on Friday. Lamine Yamal scored the decisive goal and was unquestionably the most outstanding player.
However, Andreas Christensen is equally getting plaudits. The Denmark international is now being deployed in midfield due to the club's injury crisis.
In seven games he has featured in that role, they conceded just six goals. Without him, Xavi's side shipped in 16 goals.
Barca fans have acknowledged Christensen's value and contribution to the team.
🗣️Anthony: "This new tactic is working very well and Christensen is playing that role perfectly."
🗣️Tessi: "Barcelona is lucky to have Christensen, he is a priceless gift we never dreamt of to grace Camp Nou."
🗣️Pain: " I was saying Xavi should try him there since the start of the season smh".
🗣️Ridhwan: "He does the job better than Romeu at least. Though he seems untidy and doesn't have Busquet's ability to magic himself out of tight situations."
🗣️Jorge Messi: "Christensen is the next Busquets, he’s like Mascherano, he can play CB or CDM"
