#2 Subdued performance from Antoine Griezmann

It has been a less than stellar first few months for Antoine Griezmann in Barcelona colours, as despite showing flashes of his brilliance and a high work ethic, the French international has not done enough in front of goal.

The 28-year-old was handed the responsibility of leading the line earlier in the season in the absence of Messi and Suarez due to injury, but he struggled to make a mark and there was a consensus that he was yet to fully settle into the club.

Though he has scored four goals, just one of those has come away from home and Griezmann is perhaps the embodiment of Barcelona's away struggles.

Against Levante, he did not do too much in the game, particularly after Luis Suarez left the fray and this does not bode well for the €120m man.

In total, he had just one shot, while he failed to complete any dribble or make a key pass in what was a highly frustrating performance for the former Atletico Madrid man.
