Barcelona gains stability with Christensen as center half. The Dane's position pushes and favors the creativity of Pedri and Gündogan.

Xavi has not found a stable formation due to injuries and the difficult fit of some signings with irregular performance such as Jõao Félix or Cancelo. The presence of Christensen as a defensive pivot evokes the times when the starter was Edmilson or Márquez and even Yaya Touré until Guardiola opted for Busquets.
