5 things that Atletico Madrid’s Saul Niguez will bring to Barcelona

#2 Support in playmaking

Saul Niguez is known to be a creative footballer. Barcelona seems to be a step behind all of their opponents when Lionel Messi is not on the starting 11. However, Saul may be the addition that completely changes this scenario. If both of them start together, they can thrive and create chances together but if one of them is benched for some reason, then the other one can still function. At the Nou Camp, without Messi, the team fails to create chances and a dominating display against the opponent. With an asset like Saul, they’re bound to be blessed with more creative production in the midfield.

Hence, Lionel Messi missing a few games may not be a huge loss for the team as it usually seems to be, especially over the last two seasons.
