Malcom started the game ahead of an injured Ousmane Dembele and he made a statement as to why he should get more chances than how much he is getting right now. He was outstanding on the night in what was a pretty poor performance from the Blaugrana on the night compared to the standards they have set for themselves.

The Brazilian completed five out of the seven dribbles he attempted and also made three key passes as he was linking up very well down the right with Semedo.

The talent and ability Malcom possesses are to good to be left on the bench and he deserves to be starting week-in week-out for a top team. Although he didn't publicly express his concern over his lack of playtime, given he is just 21 years old he deserves to be playing more than he is.
