At Camp Nou on Tuesday in Spain, FC Barcelona beat Ferencvaros 5-1.
Here are some of the main talking points of the Champions League match.
More from Lionel Messi
With his penalty in the 27th minute, the captain tied Ryan Giggs for scoring in 16 consecutive seasons at UCL. In addition, he was also the first player to score against 36 other organizations and to score 69 goals at the organization stage.
More Pedri and Ansu Fati also
Thanks to their movements from any aspect of the half-time whistle, the young couple were the first 17-year-old to score in a bachelor party in this competition.
Arriving with his belongings in a plastic bag, Pedri, helpless to drive, returned home in a taxi for fun from enthusiasts around the world.
Ronald Koeman on the right
Insisting that Barcelona can use its recent crisis to return on the right foot on the continent, this has proven true and they are now entering El Clásico with total confidence.
Ousmane Dembele transported
Disappointing in his first start to the season at Getafe on Saturday, Dembouz’s last cameo saw him catch a pass and score in the last 10 minutes.
Francisco Trincao took him to shine
In the face of the nod to Antoine Griezmann, the young Portuguese did not blow at night, although much more effective on the right wing.
“Griezmann didn’t play, [but] it doesn’t mean anything to oppose the Classic. We decide which one is the most productive XI you can imagine in each and every game. There’s some other game on Saturday, [then] let’s see, ” insisted an unsafe Koeman after the game.
Gerard Piqué’s stupidity has left Barca at a numerical disadvantage
Other angles showed that Tokmac Nguen also wore the veteran’s jersey, but by hiring the Kenyan as the last player and receiving a red card, Piqué will now miss Juventus next week, which led to rookie Ronald Araujo on the occasion.
Still no post for Riqui Puig and Carles Alena
Koeman made no less than five substitutions and took advantage of almost all of his young players in the afternoon, but midfielders from La Masia Puig and Alena still can’t take a look.
However, a busy schedule before and after the November vacation offers some hope.
