In light of his brace against Ibiza midweek, it seemed that Antoine Griezmann had finally got the nod as the central target man on the front line flanked on either side by Ansu Fati and Lionel Messi.

Barça’s defence wilting under pressure in the opening 10 minutes, Gerard Pique hacked Gaya down in the box after he had glided between Sergio Roberto and Fati with a disturbing ease.
