He is never good when he has to play that lone striker role as the defence just all marks him and with dybala playing the way he is right now and never supporting him thats exactly what he was doing today.
Morata is key as he actually helps him do he's magic and plays like a striker should.
Was surprising how unselfish he was today considering the narative going into this game, was back defending so much and barely took any shots while Messi on the other hand must had about 30.
i was suprised he often helped defending.. hes really making sure the rest of the team didn't fuck it up as we used to do historically (not being able to hold a lead in UCL)

Whenever this guy got the ball tonight, it was pure panic mode from the Barca defense. His presence alone gave the team an extra dimension. Also, created space for McKennie's goal as both CBs tracked him and left the American by himself in the box.

This is the first thing i immediately noticed after i saw the instant replay of McKenie's goal. Both Barca CBs panicked when they saw CR7 and they both rushed to him and left Mackie completely unguarded.
