“Vini isn’t a winger anymore”: Barcelona fans are divided over the position Joao Cancelo should occupy in El Clasico.

Barcelona fans have been engaged in an ongoing debate regarding the role of Joao Cancelo in the upcoming El Clasico. There is a consensus that Cancelo should be in the starting lineup against Real Madrid, but opinions are divided on where he should play. Fans have differing views on whether he should feature as a right-back, right-midfielder, or right-winger.

Here’s a glimpse of the discussions among Cules on Reddit:

💭 Olez: “Vini isn’t a winger anymore. He’s a free-roaming striker in their 41212 formation. Cancelo right-back, Araujo RCB to trap Vini.”

💭 Dat_life_on_Mars: “So yeah, I put Araujo in his tried and trusted anti-Vinicius position. Cancelo further up front seems like a Winger, but even his technical qualities replace a natural winger like Yamal.”

💭 Spasmodicallylow: “I still feel Cancelo would be better as a fullback. We can play perhaps 3 CBs with Balde and Cancelo being the wingbacks.”

💭 Dear_Monitor_5384: “If Araujo starts at RB, I’d just not start Cancelo. Yamal is better on the ball and takes more care in position, but Cancelo makes silly decisions at times. If Cancelo does start, it would probably be best to play a back 3 to cover for Cancelo defensively, in which case Yamal and Romeu won’t start, and Christensen and Gavi would come in from yesterday’s starting lineup.”

The versatility of Cancelo offers various tactical options for Barcelona in the Clasico, and it’s a topic that continues to spark discussions among fans as they anticipate the high-stakes match against Real Madrid.
