The biggest drawback for Antonio Conte from Inter Milan's performance against Barcelona has to be the fact they just didn't take their chances.

The home side played well, dominated the game for most parts, created opportunities, but failed to finish off their big openings. So much so that the home side had the ball into the back of the net three times but all of them were ruled out due to offside.

Even though Romelu Lukaku scored on the day, the Belgian's overall performance wasn't great and if he was clinical in front of goal, he could have easily scored a hat-trick. Also, Lautaro Martinez was teasing and teasing the Barcelona backline but there was no end product to his game, which is a trait rarely seen in the deadly Argentine forward.

As good as Lukaku and Lautaro have been this season, both of them have more often than not failed to have an impact on the bigger games.
