>As Flick has routinely mentioned, however, having one of the best players in the world in his right wing position at the Spotify Camp Nou complicates Roony’s path to regular starting time.

>Even when Lamine Yamal has been injured, however, the 20 year-old hasn’t taken the opportunities afforded to him.
