Look, again, Messi doesn't follow the action and asks the ball behind De Jong instead of moving up to take an advanced position. Why do that? Makes no sense and is slowing the play.

Messi open play goal would be nice

It's hard when he has the chance to make a run and score and is dropping to get the ball instead. His constant tendency to follow the ball is bad for him. He should exploit space instead and ask for service in that space.

I liked that De Jong didn't cease the ball just because Messi was near him and attempted to pass it to Griezmann who was making a run in offense.

Attack has been great in this match. And by attack, I mean Messi as well, on top of Griezmann, Fati and Dembele.

Also, great pass by Griezmann for Messi.

Penessi has turned into a monster PK taker. :lol:
