4) MSN fail to steer Barcelona through
Trending
For the second time in a span of a few days, MSN haven’t been at their very best. Maybe it so happens that they are more often than not at their very best, or if one or two are having an off day, the third delivers the goods for the team.
On another day, Luis Suarez would have also had a red card to his name rather than two goals. Neymar had three decent chances to score. Messi, like in the Clasico, was time and again dropping into the midfield.
This was evident in Luis Enrique’s post-match press conference, where he preferred to complain about his team being unable to score more goals and kill off the tie rather than on the red card incident.
You would be hard-pressed to find any other team being unhappy with a 2-1 win in Europe, but this is Barcelona. With their high standards, this match and the Real Madrid match would be far from satisfactory.
