Ivan Rakitic believes that Barcelona can learn lessons from Real Madrid on a particular topic

Last summer saw a changing of the guard at Barcelona. Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba left the club after long, successful spells, with both players ending up at Inter Miami alongside Lionel Messi (and now Luis Suarez).

It can be said that Barcelona lacks the experience of Busquets and Alba, as well as others such as Gerard Pique (who retired last season) and Messi himself. This is one area that Real Madrid have done better than their Clasico rivals, at least that's what Ivan Rakitic – formerly of the Blaugrana – said. Brand.

“Real Madrid managed to do everything well, little by little. Toni and Luca are still there to lead the team. Barcelona may have gone too fast (with the landing of older players).

“I am convinced that Gavi and Pedri, who have spectacular talent, will be the future of Barcelona and of Spanish football, but I think that our help, as we were called by the old people, would have been good for them. convinced that all those guys like Bellingham and the company are very grateful for learning every day with (Kroos and Modric).

There is little doubt that Jude Bellingham, Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga and Federico Valverde have learned a lot from Kroos and Modric during their time at Real Madrid, and this will serve him well for now and for the future. Rakitic may have a point that of Barcelona young people could benefit from similar, even if they do quite well on their own.
