Is Umtiti in current form the best CB in the world?

will be at barca in the next 2-3 years. can only make the claim when he comes over...srry

Yes he is faster than other CBs and hates mistakes.
Being the main CB of the best team in the world alone is enough to put him in top 3

french list of CBs is always absurd

Varane
Umtiti
Kimpembe
Lenglet
Laporte
Upamecano

all elite talents

ps: Lucas Hernandez wants to play for Spain, he would be on that list otherwise.

Umtiti aside all of them have proved themselves to be jobbers tbh.

that's not true at all. Varane has delivered multiple times in CL semis and finals, if anything he is the more proven on that list.

closet barca fan as always defending your umtiti

the rest have a lot to prove for us, Umtiti and Varane ar the standard

Varane

Done nothing since Hummels shat on him like his personal toy in the WC.

Not to mention he's not even as good as a lad who shits in the middle of the game.

Poor lad is mentally scared

pocketed lewandowski, higuain etc.. in CL, please

It's like Ramos, we shit on them but those guys have delivered back to back CLs with elite performances in CL knockout vs europe best team.

They rekt Guardiola Bayern attacking machine with elite defending, mistake free games.

they perform when it matters. meanwhile, the supposed goats like Hummels, Bonucci, Boateng, or Chiellini were getting rekt by Asensio. Those guys have more flops in knockout games than Varane lol, but varane is somehow worse

it's only in fifa that guys like Thiago Silva are better tan Varane

Giving credit to Varane for results achieved through the greatness of El Kommander

You did not disagree with me though

Think I'm ready to admit Umtiti is the best atm.

Someone's jelly that the guy he proclaimed to be the best CB in the world got destroyed by BenzemYedder.

BenzemYedder Thank you for that one.

He is better than anyone, if someone thinks otherwise he proves he knows nothing about football.

claiming a CB is the best because he defended well against the likes of Hazard, Giroud and William in CL round of 16, when his team has like 65% possession.

G-Rude is a 3x FA Cup winner

put some respek on his name

best CB in the world

Waiting for the day when CBarca tags himself in such a post

He seems to be doing very well (not flawlessly yet) at Barcelona at the club level. National team wise... needs some work.

Who cares about a friendly ffs

At competitive level he's been virtually flawless.

He'll drag Barca to a treble, you losers.

lol What do you expect when you pair him with clowns like Varane and Pogba? Gets dragged down to their level.

Or, you know, maybe he has to actually defend more than 3 semi-dangerous attacks per game for France because they're 'just' a top International team and not a club that completely dominated the opposition 9/10 times to the point they can't get a meaningful attack off.

Umtit was at fault with the PK though. Only him. No one else.

PK was not even a PK. Typical REFdrid trying to shake Barca players' confidence.

I'd disagree. We suffer a lot these days and barely dominate the Eibars of our leauge. Against Chelsea in the rematch we defended for most of the game. Umtiti is a beast that saved us countless times this season.

One penalty given away in a meaningless game doesn't change or prove anything... and anyway, Umtiti got the ball first before he BARELY took the player down so that's a fraud of a penal as futbol mentioned

I know it's rare for Barcelona to concede a PK but that's what it looks like. Don't worry, I got you bro.

Mistakes can happen. And he may have been at fault for the penalty, but it still was just a friendly game with no real pressure. Umtiti is a stellar defender, certainly at the club level. I hope Romagnoli gets to that level (and it does seem like he could).
