I remember the hype around him at the time, people talking about him being the next super star for Barcelona. Why didn’t he do well at Barcelona?
Pessi took his position so he couldn’t shine.
Main reason was his playing style, he was more suited for making deep runs through the centre in klopp’s system while at Barca they wanted him to join possession attack from the left wing, same thing happened with greizmann who had played his entire Atletico as a supporting striker
He was always bang average at Liverpool. They must have laughed their way to bank when Barcelona came with the huge transfer fee. Really poor transfer business.
basically any club he has gone to except bayern didn’t suit his playstyle as they were all possession based teams
