Barcelona 4-0 PSV Eindhoven: 5 Talking Points, Champions League 2018/19

#2 PSV outplayed in the second half

FC Barcelona v PSV - UEFA Champions League Group B

The Eredivisie side stuck to their task in the first half. They frustrated Barcelona for the first 30 minutes and it needed a moment of individual brilliance from Lionel Messi to open the deadlock. PSV had a couple of decent opportunities of their own in the first half, but failed to take advantage of them.

However, van Bommel‘ side were outplayed in the second half. Barcelona came out all guns blazing after the break and kept the Dutch side under pressure. They created a plethora of opportunities and Luis Suarez missed a couple of them, before Dembélé put the game to bed in the 75th minute. It was all one-way traffic after that, as Barcelona grabbed two more goals to end the game 4-0.
