Twitter reacts to Barcelona's narrow 1-0 win over Sporting Lisbon

Barcelona recorded a narrow 1-0 away win over Sporting Lisbon in the UEFA Champions League Group D clash at the Estadio Jose Alvalade. It was Luis Suarez's header which deflected off Sebastian Coates to score the winner for Ernesto Valverde's side.

The Camp Nou outfit came up with a lackluster performance and hardly ever got their flowing football going. Lionel Messi was also subdued by his standards and Twitter had a lot to say about that.

Here are the best tweets:

When an invisible player is your second top scorer...

Barcelona's last 4 goalsOwn goal ??Own goal ??Suarez ??Own goal ??This own goal fella looks like a top notch signing from Barcelona.

Own goal has more goals for Barcelona than most strikers have for their clubs this season.

O.G is in great form for Barcelona. He, it, whatever has now scored 3 in last 2 games. He's scored 3 of their last 4 goals.

That performance was nothing to write home about

One of the worst FC Barcelona performances I have ever witnessed. And I’ve been watching since 1994. Dire, slow, soporific.

This is one of the worst Barcelona matches I've watched in my 8 years alive

Rakitic and Suarez didn't have the best of games...

Shitty half by Barcelona, no other way around it. Suárez and Rakitic again dissappointing.

Messi I am so sorry the teammates you pass to are not you.

Rakitic can’t start for Barcelona anymore, it’s been the case for over a year…

— Rafael Hernández (@RafaelH117) September 27, 2017
