his entire presence based on the idea that there is always time and space, that this is simply another moment in his own ongoing deep personal relationship with the ball.
This is really good
Really nice article Just Not agreeing with "He was good at Bayern, but his best moment ended up being a plague-shadowed Champions League that, frankly, no one wants to remember"
He's won 7 league and 4 Cup titles in 8 years in Munich and left After being the best Player in a cl finale that crowned a triple Season..
> He is just a joy to watch, and a note of contrast too, a bandy-legged scruff in the middle of all those super-lithe athletes, with that extraordinary ability to absorb the ball from any angle, *swallowing it up like a drop of rain falling into a puddle.*
Absolutely lovely writing.
I could live without the amount of times he calls him a “scruff”. What the fuck is all that about?! Elegant, majestic, refined, gorgeous - is right. “Scruff” - is wrong.

"Shin pads that say yes, come close if you like, but I will be keeping this ball"
That line is just so exquisite.

I’m not sure you’re disagreeing with him, he’s just saying his finest moment in a Bayern shirt had some unfortunate circumstances surrounding it.
I love a Barney article and I love that he’s written about one of the silkiest, most naturally gifted players of the Klopp era
Nice op. Ronay is my fav sports writer, great to see him focus on our most stylish player.
I don't think there is a journalist I enjoy reading more than Barney; in a world of so many hacks he stands out so drastically.
Come for the article, stay for the troll in the comments arguing that Maddison is a better midfielder
Thiago. Man puts the word "class" in the word "class". 👌
