Barcelona were almost unstoppable in the first half against Real Madrid. Their best game spell, however, came in the last few minutes of the match when they were creating one chance after another.
At that moment, the link between the midfield and the attack was quite special.
Franck Kessie, Sergi Roberto and Ousmane Dembele were involved in a few pacy attacks in which they looked quite dangerous altogether.
This attack-minded style of play puts Kessie’s and Roberto’s box-to-box abilities on display – it could be really helpful if Xavi decides to switch to counterattacking play at some point during the game.
Watch how the two linked up with each other in one of the second-half episodes.
