Deulofeu ran the show for Barcelona

Gerard Deulofeu puts in a stunning display in the absence of Messi and Suarez. The former Everton winger set up Paco Alcacer for the opening goal before netting the second himself.

He was quiet in the first 43 minutes as Barcelona struggled to create clear opportunities. In the 44th minute, Deulofeu swung in a beautiful cross for Paco Alcacer to make it 1-0 at the break.

Barcelona doubled their lead in the 52nd minute as Deulofeu dribbled the ball into the box before putting it in the back of the net with a cool finish. It was a brilliant display by the youngster and with Dembele out, he will get his chances and a real opportunity to fulfil his potential.
