The Spanish international is one of the rising stars in Barcelona and also the La Liga. He made his debut for the Catalans in the 2021-22 season and became a regular member of the starting line-up in the 2022-23 season.

The 19-year-old defender is regarded as one of the best left-backs in Europe due to his performance for the Blaugranas.

During an interview with ESPN, Balde was asked to pick an ultimate team, choosing them in terms of defending, dribbling, engine, intelligence, passing, positioning, speed, and, strength.

Despite being an admirer of Lionel Messi, who is known for his dribbling prowess, the Spanish defender opted for Okocha as his ultimate dribbler in his team.

The Super Eagles legend is widely known for his dribbling ability and is rated as one of the best in the history of the game.

Okocha's dribbling ability didn't go unnoticed by the Spanish youngster.

The Barcelona defender didn't stop there, he picked his teammate Ronald Araujo in defence, former Real Madrid midfielder Clarence Seedorf for strength, Messi for intelligence, Andrea Pirlo for passing, and former Chelsea midfielder N'golo Kante for engine, while choosing his coach Xavi Hernandez for positioning.
