Battered, bruised and boring Barcelona...

The wildest thing to have come out of that abject performance at the Wanda Metropolitano is that if it wasn’t for Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s best (actually worst) Manuel Neuer impression, we would’ve still come away with a point against Atletico Madrid.

However, no one could say it would’ve been deserved. That was simply awful from start to finish.

A few flashes aside, and where on another night we may have sneaked a goal or two, there was nothing remotely worth getting excited about.

What on earth was Ronald Koeman thinking by leaving Sergino Dest on the bench?
