Olympiacos vs. Barcelona, 2017 Champions League: Final Score 0-0, Barça play badly in boring draw

Maybe the Ernesto Valverde haters have a point... Barcelona dropped points in the Champions League for the first time this season thanks to an awful 0-0 draw away to Olympiacos. The Blaugrana played poorly from start to finish, and wasted the few chances they had to score. Automatic qualification to the knockout stages is not guaranteed tonight, and the next game is in Turin against Juventus. Oh dear.

FIRST HALF

The first half was not pretty: there were a lot of misplaced passes and poor touches from almost every player on the pitch, and Barça didn’t have a real chance other than a through ball from Denis Suarez to Luis Suárez, who was in good position to score but couldn’t hit the target.
