They were five French players, including four world champions, holders Tuesday evening in the Champions League. The attackers, Antoine Griezmann, Olivier Giroud and Kingsley Coman, were notably expected. The evening was not positive for everyone.
"With Messi, it's complicated to find yourself"
Griezmann, author like his team of a very sad first period in Naples, caught up well by allowing Barça to get away with a good draw (1-1). Nothing folichon, but at least the essential is there. “With Messi, it's complicated to find yourself because he plays more to the right and I to the left. We try to make one-two to find ourselves in depth. I'm trying to work on this, to adapt to the team, he debriefed. I think we are on the right track. I was sure coming here that I was going to take time (to adapt). It's up to me to create spaces for others, it's a different job. "
Holder for the second time in a row - which had never happened to him this season outside the France team -, Giroud has not had an easy task in a Chelsea team overwhelmed at home by Bayern (0 -3). “It was complicated to show off. I'm trying to play for my partners, he reacted to the RMC Sport microphone. I had few balls to play in the area, there are nights like that where it is frustrating for the attackers, we can not always have a lot of chances in a match. I am likely to continue, not to give up. For that at least, we can trust him.

Finally, despite the Bavarian victory, Coman had a bad evening as he was injured. Again. Author of an interesting first hour of play under the eyes of Guy Stéphan, the assistant of Didier Deschamps, the winger saw his right thigh drop him on a sprint. He is due to take exams on Wednesday, but his coach is already talking about "several meetings" on the flank. Not good news, a few weeks from the next games of the Blues, who will draw the group for the Euro. Unfortunately for him, Coman still struggles to give guarantees on his physique.
