He is clearly an exceptional talent, but the acclaim for his appearance against Iran is too much, IMO. Yes, it is the opening game of the biggest tournament in the game, but Iran are not a competitive team.
In terms of Bernie and Gundo leaving, it will be the end of an exceptional era but also the beginning of a new one, with Bellingham, Grealish, Foden, Rodri, Philips and KDB making a new, exciting midfield. I suspect Mahrez will go soon and Palmer, Mebude and Borges may well come in to occupy those wider areas. That is as dynamic as it gets, with Alvarez and Haaland making a truly exceptional group.
