Barcelona have struggled to cope with Neymar's departure for the past few years. Ousmane Dembele and Philippe Coutinho both failed to step up in attack and that cost the team dearly as Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez got stranded up front.

That should end this season, following the capture of Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid during the summer. The attacker is blending into the team gradually and will provide stern support for Messi and Suarez as they combine to break down opposition defences and chip in the goals.

Griezmann is without doubts, a world-class player. The Frenchman showed us that he can play a decisive role to lead his team to glory during the World Cup last year. He bagged 4 goals and 2 assists to help France cruise to success in Russia and he has already gotten his Barca career to a flying start with 3 goals and 2 assists in 7 appearances so far. With him on the side, the Blaugrana are truly stronger and his support could be all Messi and co. need to achieve their European dream.

Meanwhile, the club still has a serious work to do if they are to make their desired statement in Europe this season as discussed in the next slide.
