february 2006. a couple months earlier he did the same thing at the bernabeu and was maybe the best player on the pitch in the game where ronaldinho scored twice. then he got injured in the chelsea return leg
rijkaard left him out of the 2006 final despite him maybe/probably being fit because he would rather play van bommel and giuly than iniesta and messi. at least iniesta came on at halftime and won the game

Likewise I was happy he wasn't brought on in the QF a few weeks later. Had no idea why as well.

Reason: Argentina were very strong without him though
damn. barca lineup as expected.
woulda personally preferred semedo-bob pairing on the right.
paulinho (+ dembele) on from the bench later on if needed.
