Messi and Suarez were ungainly, Barcelona shared points in disappointment in Greece

(Dan Tri) – Despite constant pressure, Barcelona was still held to a 0-0 draw by Olympiakos in the fourth match of Group D of the Champions League at Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium.

Barcelona is winning impressively and they want to quickly resolve Group D of the Champions League right after the 4th series of matches. This is also an emotional match for coach Valverde, when he meets the team he has been with for many years in the past.

Olympiakos has caused too many difficulties for Barcelona

However, the match in Greece is not easy, like when Barcelona defeated Olympiakos 3-1 at Camp Nou 2 weeks ago.

Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez also had certain opportunities, but could not score.

In the remaining match in Group D, Juventus was unexpectedly held to a 1-1 draw by Sporting Lisbon.

Barcelona fielded a chaotic lineup with Sergi Roberto, Paulinho, Busquets in the middle of the field, and the striker trio were Denis Suarez, Messi and Luis Suarez.

Despite pressing the field comprehensively, Barcelona encountered many deadlocks in Olympiakos’ solid defensive play.

Messi had a rather disappointing match

Even Olympiakos was the team that created the first dangerous opportunity, when Omar Elabdellaoui used breakthrough speed, but Umtiti’s rolling defense made Olympiakos players unable to finish.

The only chance Barcelona created in the first half was the situation that took place in the 23rd minute, when Denis Suarez made a smart pass for Luis Suarez to run down, but the Uruguayan star’s boot tip sent the ball wide of the post.

Barcelona also suffered a loss in the 42nd minute when injured Sergi Roberto left the field to make way for Gerard Deulofeu.

After a deadlocked first half, Barcelona tried to force the field in the second half. In the 50th minute, Denis Suarez ran down and shot a beautiful shot, but goalkeeper Proto’s talent saved Olympiakos.

After that, Messi had a chance but he could not defeat Proto in a face-to-face situation.

Luis Suarez missed many opportunities in this match

The most notable situation took place in the 66th minute, when Messi had a delicate pass for Luis Suarez to hit a beautiful volley, but the ball went over the bar.

Luis Suarez seemed to have made the difference in the 74th minute when he had a good chance at close range, but defender Alberto Botia played hard, leaving the Uruguayan unable to finish.

Barca goalkeeper Ter Stegen also had to show off his talent once after Konstantinos Fortounis’s free kick.
