Dest performing isn't a surprise given he's now finally being used properly.
He isn't a full-back who constantly hugs the touchline & just bombards the box with crosses.
His technical quality excels in combinatory situations in tight spaces & when he can drive with the ball.

That means giving him the freedom to exploit multiple angles in a more central position & the option to move both from out-in and in-out.
Yes, his 1v1 and crossing is useful out wide but there's so much more to his profile than that.
We're now seeing shades of Ajax Dest again.

But Barcelona Dest under Xavi will be a much better and more mature player.
This Dest is recognising how to move, when to release the pass, what option to pick and is learning to cover the half-space & position himself in relation to others.
This Dest's ceiling is much higher.
