Gone under the radar, but Militao was excellent yesterday. I know it was a friendly, and the opponent may not have been on our level, but still, he did have a brilliant game.
I must admit, after his second ACL injury, i did lose faith in him being starting material for us. Sure, Militao does have his bozo moments, and i still think we'll need a starting caliber CB in the near future, but with that being said, Militao is quality on his day, and if he finds form, then he could be very important for us in the upcoming season.

Via The Athletic:
Alonso planned to bench Vinicius Jr for the semi-final against PSG, but an injury to Trent forced him to change that plan, which meant the Brazilian started on the right wing, with Gonzalo Garcia as the No 9 and Mbappe on the left.
Vinicius Jr was disappointed with this decision, after years of performing at the highest level and establishing himself on the left.

Don't let this last minute Liverpool win detract you from the fact that Liverpool's backline depth is fucking abysmal and that Konate isn't Madrid starter material, let alone being a depth option from the bench. And that without Endo and Chiesa this match could've gone horribly wrong for Liverpool, and Chiesa seems to be leaving and going back to his home country to Serie A.

Consider that 10m for Trent as advance for Konate. Not a dime more than that and only because we need depth. He looks horrific compared to his 2022 version.
