He gets a lot of criticism for his time at Barcelona but how much of his failure was the managers inability to use him. At Atleti he has been successful as a second striker, main striker, winger, attacking midfielder, center midfielder, defensive midfielder, and even as fullback. Both Simeone and Deschamps know exactly how to utilize him.

    But he also might have matured as a result of the Barca stint which allowed him to be even more flexible now.

    Maybe he just weren’t in the right state of mind during his Barca years (possibly in combination with manager issues).
