How he revolutionized Klopp's Liverpool by helping them break down deep blocks, his crazy assist stats that everyone is familiar with by now, his De Bruyne/Fabregas type range from right back, how he compares to Marcelo defensively and offensively, and how he will likely become a new focal point of Real Madrid's buildup play.
