Deportivo La Coruna 2-4 FC Barcelona: 5 Talking Points

#4 Barcelona's defensive woes gave Deportivo a way back into the game

The Catalans struggled defensively all night

Though the Barcelona forwards were a treat to watch, their defence was a different story. Deportivo needed a win to stay alive in the league which meant that they had to attack. They did so, brilliantly, at times, getting past the Barcelona defenders rather easily.

Before Lucas Perez scored Deportivo's first goal of the night, they had a number of other chances to grab a goal. Borja Valle first shot wide from close range while Fabian Schar missed a sitter. The Barcelona defenders were playing with fire at times and they suffered when Perez brought Deportivo back into the game.

Emre Colak then scored the equalizer and the mood suddenly changed around the Riazor. Barcelona were under the cosh after Deportivo's second goal with the hosts using the right flank for the majority of their attacks.

Jordi Alba did his best Marcelo impression on the night of being wanting defensively which was used to their advantage by Deportivo. Fortunately for Barcelona, Deportivo could not score again despite their constant efforts.
