The 21-year-old left winger brings a real breath of fresh air to PSG. Bixente Lizarazu is amazed by his abilities.
At the end of the summer transfer window, Bradley Barcola left Olympique Lyonnais. The young left winger signed for 5 seasons with Paris Saint-Germain, for an amount of 45 million euros to which was added 5 million bonuses.
Initially, the native of Villeurbanne was not expected to become a potential starter. Especially since the Parisian leaders had injected larger sums into attackers such as the Portuguese Gonçalo Ramos or the Frenchman Randal Kolo Muani. However, today, it is Barcola who has found a place in the sun within Luis Enrique’s offensive trident, alongside Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé.
Between calm and storm
“Barcola was not expected at this level, it’s a revelation for me, declared Bixente Lizarazu this Sunday morning in Téléfoot. What I like about him is calm and storm. There are times when you have the impression that he is out of the match and then suddenly he will accelerate. I think he manages his playing time well. He has great potential. He benched players like Kolo Muani and Ramos so it’s still exceptional. »
Since his arrival at PSG, Bradley Barcola has scored three goals and provided five assists in 23 matches played in all competitions. This Sunday, at the end of the afternoon, Luis Enrique could start him again on the front of his attack, against Stade Rennais, on the occasion of the 23rd day of Ligue 1.
