Barcelona 5-0 Eibar: 5 Talking Points as Blaugrana run riot at home | LaLiga 2019/20

#3 Antoine Griezmann fails to take his chances

Griezmann had a game to forget

It would be harsh to suggest that Antoine Griezmann has not stepped up to the plate since completing his mega move to the Camp Nou but despite shining on occasion, the overwhelming consensus is that the French international is yet to truly hit the heights with the Blaugrana.

The injury sustained by Luis Suarez has put more responsibility on his shoulder and the game against Eibar was the perfect opportunity for him to boost his confidence ahead of the home-run of Barcelona's season.

However, he failed to cover himself in glory and made a hash of several good chances that fell his way, with the best of those coming from a cutback by Arturo Vidal which he blasted straight at Dmitrovic, while he also miscontrolled a perfect pass by Messi (which luckily fell back to the Argentine to get his hat-trick).

He was substituted for new boy Martin Braithwaite in the 71st minute and given that Barcelona put five past Eibar, Griezmann would have been disappointed not to have added to his tally.
