Supercopa de Espana | Real Madrid / Barcelona

They might as well sell Bale. He shouldn’t be getting a game over Asensio.
 
Getting tapping this lad up right away, long term project
 
Hijo de chingada! Asensio... :eek:
 
feck me what an effort.

Ter Stegen should have at least went for that I feel.
 
Asensio isn't just a talent. He's already a world class player and with this rate and if things go normally can become another Madrid legend in the future.
 
I've only ever seen Asensio score class goals.
 
Well, only 9 month more of suffering Isco and Asensio every week before I can enjoy cheering for them in the World Cup, no biggie
 
What was Asensio like for Mallorca? He looks like a genuine world class talent the few times I've seen him for Madrid. Very intelligent player on the ball for a wide player, explosive pace and a pretty clever finisher.

Any thoughts on his time at Mallorca? Seems like he came out of nowhere for anyone other than avid La Liga fans...I don't even think there was a thread on here when he signed?!

Has he exploded at Madrid or was he seen as an exceptional talent from the off?
 
You'd have guessed Barcelona might have learnt to not give space to Asensio on his left foot...

He's a ridiculous talent.

I have no idea, I only came to know him once we had signed him.
 
Poor from the keeper. He thought it was going over. It ended up fairly close to him. Would have saved it if he'd bothered going for it.
 
We need to pay that kid whatever he wants and tie him down till 2030.

I'm pretty sure this is the end of Gareth Bale in Madrid. He should be behind Cristiano, Benzema, Isco and Asensio in the pecking order.
 
I hate Madrid but they look incredible! Playing like the great Barca teams at the moment.

I mean there’s a reason Mallorca have dropped to the third level, well other than their horrific owners and how they’re run.. He was great for them, obviously much younger and more raw. Has improved leaps and bounds, but the talent was always there.

Was seen as exceptional, and just like with Isco Barca had the perfect opportunity to get Asensio. This was back in those days where Barca was the top dog along with an upcoming Real, and yet this Barca board arrogantly declined through the negotiations because of some small additional cost - in which real quickly secured Asensio. I don't know the exact details, except that Barca fumbled the ball on this...
