Tbh, most of the Monaco players have been pretty underwhelming in a sense (Mbappe, Bakayoko, Bernardo). It's hard to believe that it is even the same player (Bakayoko). Bernardo hasn't really been given a proper go yet though has he? From what I have seen of him he has been tidy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boulahrouz & Djilobodji are two that come to mind instead. Don't forget, or rather forget Bernard Lambourde and Winston Bogarde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, most will remember him for his goal that paved the way for us to win our CL title in the immediate future. Morata could certainly trump him, if we are discussing the same things a year from now. I know Torres scoring that goal at the Camp Nou was a great moment but I find it ridiculous that the goal has been talked a lot more than Drogba's equalizer in the final or even the fact that Torres won the corner that led to the equalizer!

The overall point is that none have had as big as an impact as they were expected to. Obviously Bakayoko has been the most underwhelming by far. 11Drogba and manpe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not enough is said about Cole's clearance/pass which freed Torres for that run. It was great from start to finish (except Torres losing the ball in first place which is why Cole had to clear it, but maybe it was for the best in the end).

LAM09 7,054 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Yes but that goal didn't change the result, did it? It merely confirmed our spot in the final. That's the point. We could have easily lost 3-1 in the dying seconds had he not been alert, as we were penned in for most of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, I think Bernardo and Mbappe have done well, not brilliant. Mbappe is just 3 short of 20 goals for the season which he should do. Bernardo, was never going to walk into City's team because of the amount of attacking quality, but when he has played, he has been useful. Has contributed with goals and assists and is a decent alternative to Sane/Sterling. None of them have been excellent but would not say underwhelming. Mbappe did make a slow start but in recent months has looked really sharp again. Mufassir08 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose there's a lot of its, maybes and buts here but I'm just annoyed that the Torres goal is talked about a lot more than others, other game changing, tournament decisive moments!
