Pep’s main concern will be to find another designated no.9 for his side. Other than that, his squad depth is pretty one of the best in Europe. The Spaniard’s love for a false nine was evident in this season too with Gundogan and Bernardo Silva being the men for that role while he absolutely made the most of Joao Cancelo. The Portuguese operated both the sides in the full-back role with being occasional presence in the middle of the park. However, the highlight of this season for them is the emergence of the Phil Foden. The young Englishmen had his breakout season performing beyond his age showing great maturity and will be a firm contender for the FIFA Golden Boy Award.
