ESPN FC’s Craig Burley, Alejandro Moreno and Steve Nicol examine Barcelona’s come-from-behind win vs. Inter Milan at the Camp Nou. Nicol says “Luis Suarez showed his quality, but Barca’s front three continue to lack cohesion with the inclusion of Antoine Griezmann.” Burley notes that Barca “looked better when Antoine Griezmann was subbed off for Ousmane Dembele.” The FC crew also break down how Luis Suarez’s two goals were set up and praise Lionel Messi for his assist on the game winner.

k d says:

Can they maybe move Messi in the mid behind the striker so he can make the distribution?.. But I really think Griezmann isn't going to do much

raulposse says:

i think its time for Busquets to sit on the bench… its Vidal's time. Busquets has always been key for barsa, but now he's too slow… barcelona needs faster tougher midfield. is just a matter of time for the forwards to click… 2:20 you've said it… Bqts too slow…

Joe Joe says:

Griezmann is jealous of Messi…..that's why we need the replacement for Griezmann…and it's going to be Lutaro….

Joe Joe says:

Lutaro Martinez is the replacement for Griezmann……and Valverde Out!!! Can you imagine the 3 south Americans together???
….only South Americans can do that!!!

Vismay Gupta says:

The main change I saw after Busi's substitution is that Vidal played slightly higher almost no 10 position and pressed the defenders very well and De Jong and Arthur shifted into Double Pivot roles for more stability in mid and to supress the counter attacks.

Atiba Kojo says:

Valverde acts like he doesn't understand people's positions, constantly playing people out of position causing problems. G-man from what I can gather is the long term replacement. But right now he's a man without a position so he just plays wherever. Which is wasting him. Valverde's lack of concern for the physical could be why we are seeing so many repeating injuries. Something is wrong. Clearly he is not the man for the job. Even the players should see that now. No creativity. We should be playing like Man City. Instead of just barely beating people like we are.

Madhusha Ambawatta says:

Neymar thinks more of the same as Messi and there's no any other even closer to Neymar so don't expect Griezmann to be Neymar. He's not that type of a player. He was never. He will never be.

Yall talking about busquets fault when the real reason was semedo

Gfresh844 says:

Another reminder why Messi deserves the Ballon d'Or. Nothing against Van Dijk but it would be a travesty if he won. He's a great defender but in no way does he carry Liverpool like Messi carries Barca. Last season Messi dragged Barca continually and was the reason why they went to Anfield with a lead they should have never thrown away. It's ridiculous that one fixture is used against him for an individual award, in a game where his defensive teammates let him down. Meanwhile, Liverpool's success last season and the reason why they keep winning is a collective effort. Not to mention, this season Van Dijk has been exposed a lot more, making a number of mistakes. His teammates don't get enough credit, considering he's the one who's been put on a pedestal as their main man.

Jason Brown says:

That pass from Vidal though for the Suarez volley ?

prayag singh says:

Barca got some oxygen when Valverde substituted Busquets and put DeJong to CDM position and Vidal to CM.

John Basumatary says:

No mattr wt get dis fuckin valverde out of camp nou

Lionel Messi says:

I am genuinely FED UP of CR7 being mentioned alongside Messi as if they are comparable. It’s so fucking offensive and insulting to football and football fans. I understand the MARKETING CLICKBAIT aspect of it but enough is enough. It’s time to separate these two. It’s time for Messi to be officially acknowledged as a player who doesn’t have a peer and stop mentioning CR in the same breath as him. It’s fucking offensive.
