Barcelona 1×1: this Dembélé is worth a potosí

Net: The Brazilian goalkeeper had a pleasant night. In fact, in the first part they didn't even knock on the door. So much so that it was difficult to know who was under the sticks in the Barcelona goal because the rival did not even arrive. After the break, Ferencvaros were a little more incisive, with some meaningful header, but little else.

Dest: Every time he is getting more of Alves's face. Spectacular in the high block, every time he came up with the ball under control he created panic in the Hungarian defense. Their measured centers were very close to taking advantage of Braithwaite and Griezmann. His speed also allowed him to thwart his opponent's timid attacks.

Mingueza: His third consecutive game as a starter with the first team. And for the third time the goal was zero. With the statistics in hand, it is very difficult to find buts for the subsidiary's central defender, who once again fully complied. Without a doubt, his appearance is one of the great surprises of the season. He is turning the defense into an impregnable bunker.

Lenglet: His ownership was a relative surprise, as he ended the game against Osasuna with a slight sprain. In fact, Koeman decided to change it in the 64th minute, with the game fully resolved. During the time he was in the second half he wore the captain's armband. Serious and solvent party of the French, as in him is usual.

Barcelona Shield / Flag

Sunrise: Outstanding in every way. He assisted the first goal, which Griezmann masterfully executed, and combined wonderfully with Dembélé, turning the left wing into a real highway. Koeman booked him in the second part, being replaced by Junior.

Pjanic: The Bosnian tried it anyway to make his debut as a scorer with the Blaugrana shirt. The first time the ball hit him, he sent the ball close to where Sputnik was orbiting, in the second he improved with a much more accurate shot that went a bit far, but the third literally skimmed the post. It is clear that the goal will come soon.

Sergio Busquets: He played the first 45 minutes without needing a maximum demand thanks to the many facilities offered by the rival in the core. Koeman wisely rested him because the schedule doesn't allow for excessive frivolity. He saw a deserved yellow after stepping on an opponent unintentionally.

Trincao: He only lacked the goal to complete a great game. Starting from the right wing, and combining with Dest, it went from less to more, with actions in one against one of merit. He lacks a bit more ambition in his game to really believe it.

Griezmann: Every day that passes transmits better sensations. He is seen laughing on the field, clenching his teeth when he does not have the ball and marking the differences with the ball at his feet. If he scored an extraordinary volley goal against Osasuna, the one he signed against Ferencvaros is no small feat either, with a spectacular heel strike after an enormous assist from Alba. He is in a sweet moment and both the player and Koeman should take advantage of it.

Dembélé: The young French striker seems to have definitely shed his skin. From being a scattered, apathetic and crystal player to becoming a forceful, skillful and generous striker. If he also scores goals, even from a penalty, gives assistance, like the one he gave Braithwaite in the second goal, and ends the game with the captain's armband, although he put it on the other way around, it can already be said that he has finally found the correct road.

Braithwaite: The Danish has four goals in the last three games. With this spectacular performance on the field to see who is the handsome one that takes away from the eleven. He returned to complete a great game, especially in a spectacular first half, where he scored a goal, after a great assist from Dembélé, and caused the penalty, which Dembélé ended up signing. At this level, Barcelona has to seriously ask itself if the priority this winter should be the arrival of Depay or if other positions that are more in need must be reinforced.

CHANGES:

Junior: He played the entire second half. He replaced Alba on the left wing. He complied with the file.

From Jong: He left after the break. He started as a pivot with Pjanic but ended up accompanying Mingueza as a center-back when Lenglet left.

Riqui Puig: Koeman gave it 26 minutes. More than enough to demonstrate its enormous quality. He was very close to scoring after a great play with Dembélé.

Aleñá: He reached the double pivot with Pjanic. Without fanfare but solvent.

Konrad: He played the last minutes after Braithwaite's departure.
