Lucas Digne was nothing less than a decent backup LB Barca had. Never complained about the playing time and wore the Barça badge with a pride. I will always love him for a kind and wonderful human being he is. Remember, during the Barcelona bomb attack in August 2017, he ran to the site without any second thoughts and offered first aid and water to the injured? All the best Lucas.🤗
