#4 Flop: Ivan Perisic

Ivan Perisic was not the worst player on the pitch, but given his quality, it is safe to say that he had a rather disappointing outing against Barcelona.

The Croatian took up a few promising positions inside the visitors' final third and failed to make the best use of the half-chances that came his way.

The 29-year-old, who was instrumental during Croatia's run to the World Cup final in Russia this summer, was left out as a frustrating figure out on the flanks as his lack of creativity meant that the hosts struggled to gain the upper hand over Barcelona.

Perisic's final ball was lacking and poor throughout the majority of the game and he shot agonizingly wide or over whenever he sensed an opportunity to take aim at the visitors' goal, which is quite uncharacteristic by his usual standards.
