Copa del Rey 17/18: Real Murcia 0-3 Barcelona; 5 Talking Points

#3 Alcacer missed chances but Jose Arnaiz shines

Impressive debut for Arnaiz

Alcacer led the line for Barcelona in the absence of Luis Suarez and did a decent job. He scored the first goal of the game from a Gerard Deulofeu cross to make it 1-0. But he did miss a fair share of opportunities.

He is a good striker but not at the quality that Barcelona expects. The maximum he can get is the chance to play in cup competitions and an off-the-bench role in La Liga.

On the other hand, Jose Arnaiz had a good game against Real Murcia. Primarily a left winger, he was lively against Murcia and offered a lot to Barca's attacking play. He produced a stunning display and capped it with a goal in the 56th minute to make it 3-0. A real talent to watch out for.

Jose Arnaiz's game stats:

Goals - 1; Pass Accuracy - 88%; Key passes - 2; Dribbles completed - 6; Interceptions - 2; Tackles - 2
