Barcelona vs Real Murcia - 5 key talking points

#4 Real Murcia had given up before the match even started

Real Murcia crumbled under the pressure they brought upon themselves

Victor Basadre's men showed up at the Camp Nou hoping for anything save an embarrassment. But at the end of the day, that is all they gained.

They sat deep in their own half and invited the pressure on themselves- something which Barcelona were happy to offer- and had no idea how to deal with the pace of Deulofeu or Lucas Digne.

The midfield was hardly effective in slowing Barcelona down or keeping the likes of Busquets, Alena or Suarez silent. Melgar and Orfila struggled to keep pace in the centre and the wingbacks could not lend a hand in attack as they were sitting too deep and had too much ground to cover.

Once the second goal went in, it became more of a no-contest and Barcelona were running riot. The scoreline could so easily have been 7-0 or 8-0.
