César Azpilicueta

So, Tuchel played Azpi at RWB for tactical reasons against West Ham and Real Madrid but ended up subbing him off in the second half of each game (probably more down to tiredness than anything).

Yup but he would be less tired in rcb 

also he lost the header va Casemiro so really not that effective defensively . Not that he played bad. 
still fuming how we could lose 3 headers in a row in our own box.

What’s the deal with Dave’s hand? Been wearing bandage for quite a long time now.

Didnt give Hazard an inch. Near perfect performance.

So underrated. One of my favourite Dave qualities that no one really speaks about is how good he is at the dark arts. Played even Ramos silly last night.

That was one of the very few times Azpi has resorted to such things.

Dont forget that inch perfect cross for Havertz header.

Love it how he leaves everything on the pitch. him just looking absolutely gassed but happy when he leaves the field warms my heart

He is a good solider but not a real leader and it shows. The red was unnecessary but his performance was not any better. Neither today nor in the final vs Leicester.

WOW! Azpi has been called up to the Spain NT for Euro 2020!

Laporte changed nationals? Wasn't he part of France.

Does Ramos no longer play for Spain?

Was not called up by Luis Enrique.

That's a big call. With the increased squad size, I think managers can afford to take a risk with one or two players.

I think for Spain, Ramos falls under that category.

Is there a reason he now plays wingback, while RJ plays CB? 

[NikkiCFC 7,634]

This is big surprise. And it's weird he took 24 players when he could do 2 more. 

No Sergio Ramos, no Carvajal no Real Madrid players at all! 

No Sergi Roberto, no Jesus Navas. 

Probably smart move by Enrique but this attack is very weak, can't see them doing anything.

He could have called Hermoso, Nacho, Aspas, Grimaldo, Saul, and Merino.
