Last time we saw Malcom, he had scored an equalizer in el clásico, a Copa del Rey draw that ended 1-1 between Barcelona and Real Madrid. He hasn’t featured since. Now, as Barça prepare to take on Lyon in the UEFA Champions League, will we see him again?
One reason for his inclusion could be his record against Olympique Lyonnais. In four matches against OL, Malcom has scored four goals, including three in two visits to Parc Olympique Lyonnais. The Brazilian also has not lost against Lyon, having secured two draws and two wins against them.
