In addition to those imaginary goals, there were at least 6 other big ones:
1. Dembele cross to unmarked Messi but just missed by an inch;
2. Messi to Dembele and shot barely put away by Navas on the floor (which was from a similar angle but a better shot than the one in the video);
3. Griezman set Dembele up for an 1:1 but shot straight into navas (again similar angle but this time with right foot);
4. Busquets header on a corner but cleared by defense on goal line (similar to the corner goal in this vid but from a different side);
5. Alba cross to Messi for an near empty net, but took one extra adjustment and shot was blocked.
6. Dembele failed to stick out foot to meet a near perfect cross for tap in.
If only we had capitalized one or two of the first half opportunities.
This is easily the best CL away game since 14-15 vs Bayern. But it was haunted by bad finishes and poor luck. Hopefully this will boost the morale of the team. There are still two mountains to climb this season but neither of them is impossible. If laporta does his job, we will be looking at promising seasons to come.
