4) Ousmane Dembele fails to take his chances

Barcelona had a lot of chances to go forward in the match and with the number of shots they took, they should have won the game. The team completely dominated the French giants, who were scared to leave their side of the pitch. Dembele who was playing upfront along with Messi got many good chances at the beginning of the first half and should have scored from at least one of those chances.

He himself went on a good run dribbling past a few players but most of his shots ended up not hitting the target. The Winger has to work on his finishing and the Catalans really need to find themselves a good striker next season. With a competent striker, they could have won the game last night but they were wasteful and ended up not doing much with their opportunities.
