Valentín Barco was handed the opportunity to showcase his quality, and the Argentine certainly made the most of it. In just 45 minutes, he completed 93% of his passes, recorded an impressive 89% pass accuracy in the opposition half, created a chance, registered a key pass, and showed his ability to progress the ball with confidence.

🚨 BREAKING: Chelsea value Enzo Fernandez at £120m.
Preference to keep, but no breakthrough in contract talks.
⚠️ Understand Fernandez wants to leave and would welcome a Real bid.
Nothing advancing with #MCFC despite Enzo Maresca's appointment.
🚨🔵 Understand Chelsea have been very clear with Barcelona: no intention at all to negotiate, discuss or talk about João Pedro.
#CFC see João as key part of project, it’s not about bid/value. No intention to sell at all.
Chelsea consider João untouchable. 🇧🇷
Although Barcelona’s interest in Joao Pedro is genuine, and some exploratory talks have taken place, Chelsea are not prepared to sell.
There is no price that will change the club’s stance this summer, even a world-record bid.🇧🇷
I know Chelsea are looking for more experience this summer if rumours are to be believed but Chema Andrés (21, 🇪🇸) would be a nice Pivot Partner for Moisés Caicedo
🚨🔵 Chelsea agree deal to sign Valentín Barco, here we go! 🇦🇷
Agreement in place with the player as RC Strasbourg will let Barco go after impressive improvement this year.
#CFC ready to proceed for the Argentinian midfielder from June.
🚨Joao Pedro won Chelsea's Player of the Year with over 60 percent of the fan vote with Enzo Fernandez finishing second and Moises Caicedo third.
It's a small crumb of comfort after being one of the shocks to be left out of the Brazil squad.
🚨 Valentin Barco confirms he's leaving Strasbourg this summer. Agreement now in place with Chelsea.
Likely be official at the end of the season with Chelsea focused on trying to get Europe.
