This was a hard game to watch. Even for the most devoted fan, this game was anything but entertaining. Don’t get me wrong! It is extremely enjoyable to watch good defense, great possession, and solid pressure. And when your team gets three points out of a La Liga match to keep pace with the teams at the top, it is hugely enjoyable. But this game just didn’t have any offensive spark. Despite how this paragraph may read, that doesn’t upset me. Yes, it would be incredible to see Messi, Neymar, and Suárez go off in every game and score a billion goals, but I understand when sometimes that’s not necessary.
