Barça: decisive Dembélé, Griezmann nailed to the bench

FC Barcelona made short work on Tuesday night of the Hungarian club Ferencvaros (5-1) to start their Champions League campaign.

A big victory, in a Camp Nou behind closed doors, which is good for Barça after their recent setback at Getafe (1-0).

What also bury the painful debacle in the quarter-finals of the C1 2020 against Bayern Munich (2-8).

Lionel Messi showed the way by opening the scoring from the penalty kick that the Argentine captain himself caused (1-0, 27th).

With this goal, the six-time Ballon d'Or scored in a different sixteenth edition of the Champions League.

Only Ryan Giggs did so well.

Then the young 17-year-old prodigy Ansu Fati distinguished himself (2-0, 42nd), as did Philippe Coutinho (3-0, 52nd).

Igor Kharatin then reduced the score from the penalty spot after the foul and the expulsion of Gerard Pique (3-1, 70 ').

Dembélé scored points

Entered on time, Ousmane Dembélé stood out. The French striker gave Pedri a nice assist for his first goal with Barcelona (4-1, 82nd).

Placed on the right side of the attack in place of Trincao, Dembélé made a festival on his offering before increasing the score himself at the end of the match with an unstoppable strike (5-1, 89th).

The winger, criticized in the last defeat in La Liga, seized his chance perfectly and was finally decisive.

No doubt he scored points in the eyes of his coach Ronald Koeman.

The former Dortmund player shows that he can be a reliable solution in attack.

Barça and the 23-year-old tricolor have therefore resumed colors.

Grizou at the bottom of the hole

This is not the case with Antoine Griezmann who looks grim… The striker of the France team spent the entire meeting on the bench.

Under fire from critics, Grizou was not even entitled to a few minutes of play against this rather weak opponent.

It was however the perfect match to revive.

But the Dutch technician preferred to align Fati on the left, Coutinho in the center and Trincao on the right.

With this river score, these three offensive players were convincing.

The Spanish lightning showed once again that he was on fire and the man of the moment with 4 goals in 5 matches.

The Brazilian playmaker has proven himself to be fit and very comfortable again.

And finally, the 20-year-old Portuguese made a good impression with his percussion and dribbling.

Which will not help the world champion who is living a more than difficult situation.

Griezmann's place is in serious jeopardy, according to

.

Trincao took his place and discovered the Barcelona right wing.

According to the same Spanish media, the Portuguese caused more danger in 45 minutes than the French in five games ... The 29-year-old striker, who has not yet scored in 4 La Liga games, seems to be gradually losing his legitimacy .

Bad omen for him four days before the Clasico against Real Madrid (Saturday at 4:00 p.m.) and a week of shock in Turin against Juventus (winner 0-2 at Dynamo Kiev) in the second day of C1 (Wednesday at 9:00 p.m.).
