#2 Lack of creativity for Spurs in the midfield

It was clear that Tottenham Hotspurs clearly missed their midfield maestro Christian Eriksen, as there is a different charm altogether in the team when he plays.

His creativity always comes handy for the Lilywhites, as his through balls and passes often lead to beautiful goals.

But without him, Spurs look clueless on how to create, and their only option was air balls from Trippier and through passes from Wanyama, which was pretty easy for Barcelona to defend.

Son and Lucas Moura did show some intent to create and score, but they were not a match to the likes of Semedo and Jordi Alba respectively, who are probably as quick as them, if not more.

The only thrilling moment for the London fans was Harry Kane's goal, and that's it, though I hope they must have enjoyed Messi's supremacy too, which brings me to my next point.
