- Dropped Eric García and sent him back to Barcelona so he wouldn’t get injured ✅
- Rested Rodri in the last game when he realized he needed a break ✅
- Kept Pedri on the bench from the start of the international break ✅
- Managing Fermín and Olmo’s minutes carefully ✅
And today, he officially left Cubarsí out of Spain’s squad against Czechia, deciding to give him a rest after playing so many games as a starter for both club and country.
What De la Fuente has been doing lately to protect Barcelona players is genuinely amazing. I’ve honestly started loving this guy so much.
