Forget saying grimaldo is one of the best leftbacks in the world , he's the best player in the world currently , anyone who disagrees is just submitting to the status quo of already great players. Absolutely noone bar Bellingham/Salah has been as good.
So you're saying he's better than Wirtz. Got it.
Jesus, your takes are bizarre most of the time.
Grimaldo has been way more consistent for us than Wirtz , has very comparable attacking stats to him despite playing from a much deeper position.
Also the upvotes seem to agree with what I said being a popular opinion
you're a lost cause.
I do not care for your validation, I'm on reddit to be a menace and not a professional
I share your enthusiasm and joy! Grimaldo is an absolute beast
