Thriller: Griezmann

The three great players who came to the League in summer, Hazard , João Félix and De Jong , are still far from their best version. Unlike them, Griezmann - the other sign of summer's glow - cannot hold on to the excuse of acclimatization, to a language and new customs. French is not comfortable at Barça. He puts on his side with defensive efforts but the position in the field, so stingy on the left, does not help him. In Barça, that indeterminate position of "freedom behind the tip" has an owner. That Dybala incompatibility in the albiceleste team already suffers. But it also seems to be missing some 'feeling' with Messi . There seems to be no great chemistry, neither personal nor professional, between the French and the Argentine. And that is a major problem.

Approved: Morata

He missed the first time in the petroleum jelly against Diego López . But not the second, enduring the clash with the defense and defining well before the goalkeeper. Both pass Vitolo , both in depth to space. A typical Morata play that, in between, also generated the goal of the tie that Correa riveted. Beyond his six goals in the last six games and having won with all deserved title to Diego Costa , the Madrid striker is more focused than ever. Involved in pressure and in constant movement in attack. Finally with the confidence that his game needed. The National Team is waiting for you ... looking for nine for the European Championship.

Notable: Benzema

In his ten years at Madrid, Benzema has aroused philias and phobias almost equally. His defenders have always highlighted his technical excellence and praised him even when he was indefensible. His detractors have never forgiven him for the indolence with which he often walked through the Bernabéu and his absence in the big games. But since the departure of Cristiano , the step forward of the French is undoubted. Beyond the obvious increase in their scoring records, a physical change is perceived (finer, more mobile, more participatory) but above all in attitude. He is committed, responsible, intense, tutor of the youngest, introducer of the new signings. Leader, in short. Unlike for example Bale . His new body expression is great news for Madrid.

Outstanding: Messi

Morata and Benzema are at a high level. But the exhibition of the weekend was that of Messi. He had started the preseason late, suffered an injury and had trouble getting into shape. In fact, it still does not seem in an optimal state. And yet, given the low form of several of his companions, his presence seems more necessary than ever. And that he did, solving a solo game again. He had tied the Celtic but he, with two almost identical faults, one just before the break and another just after, extinguished any hint of doubt. Two unstoppable direct free, combining strength and placement. In the last eight years he has scored 29 foul goals, more than any other European major league team! Now you just need to find partners around you.
