We’re talking about Zubimendi, who still hasn’t played, while Rodri has played every minute. It is said to be because he arrived very tired after a long season with Arsenal, but it is still striking.

At the same time, the other player who has created a bit of uncertainty was Gavi, who started against Cape Verde and then was on the bench again without seeing any minutes on the pitch.
