Celta Vigo 1-1 Barcelona: 5 Talking Points

#4 Denis Suarez and Aleix Vidal disappoint

Denis Suarez put in a disappointing show at the Estadio de Balaidos

It was an exciting 90 minutes at the Estadio de Balaidos. Both teams created chances, but the finishing lacked conviction, especially the Blaugrana. Without the rested duo of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, Valverde started Denis Suarez and Aleix Vidal on either side of Jose Arnaiz in an attacking front three.

Though Arnaiz had a great outing, Vidal and Suarez struggled throughout the game in the final third. Deployed on the right, Aleix Vidal literally disappeared for most parts of the game. He struggled to make an impact and his movements in the final third let Barcelona down.

Denis Suarez too was disappointing. He was closed down quickly on multiple occasions and was never allowed any time on the ball. He missed a sitter of a chance in the 59th minute when Semedo found him at the back post with a beautiful cross, to summarize a frustrating night for the 23-year-old.
