Calendar of FC Barcelona

True is that any of the four has showed his best level of game in the last weeks, but Leo Messi, Luis Suárez, Ousmane Dembélé and Philippe Coutinho will be equally the big arguments on which will sustain the offensive game of the FC Barcelona, this Tuesday, against an Olympique of Lyon willing to give 'war' in the gone of eighth of final of the UEFA Champions League 2018-19.

The FC Barcelona knows that a victory will be the best way to remove the bad vibrations of the last parties, and is had to encarrilar already in the party of gone the eliminatory against the picture of Bruno Génésio, to end to contest with greater security the crash of turn in the Camp Nou. It can not say that his 'cracks' of attack arrive to the one hundred byone hundred , but what has internalised this type of players is the capacity to surrender to the maximum in the important parties... And the one of the Parc Olympique Lyonnais will be one of them.

Like this they arrive the four 'cracks' offensive of the Barça:

Leo Messi

The rosarino is 'Pichichi' of LaLiga Santander 2018-19 and leader in the Boot of Gold 2019 with 22 goals, the last of them annotated from the penalty spot against the Real Valladolid to give the victory to the Barça in the Camp Nou (1-0). Although erró another maximum penalty in front of the group pucelano and was not able to show his best level, also offered several assistances that left solos to his mates Luis Suárez and Kevin-Prince Boateng in front of the contrary goal. Without being to 100%, Leo Messi can go back to decant the scales.

And, besides, this season 2018-19 has marked the Champions League like his main aim, to the not to win it from 2015 and know that it is the greater argument for afterwards aspire to individual trophies like the Balloon of Gold and the FIFA TheBest , where Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric have eaten him terrain in the last years. With 6 targets in the phase of groups of the League of Champions, leaves second in the 'Pichichi' of the competition after Robert Lewandowski, that accumulates 8 goals. His performance in front of the Lyon will be key.

Philippe Coutinho

Although the most likely is that it was not headline because of the presence of Leo Messi, Luis Suárez and Ousmane Dembélé in attack, yes will have minutes in the second half and will have therefore of the opportunity to claim . This season is being especially hard for him, but even so it follows showing signs of technical brilliance almost in each party.

It is missing him have more precision in the last passes and the far shots. If it sees goal against the Olympique of Lyon, will purchase an extra dose of confidence that could relanzarle in what it subtracts of campaign, when treating of one of the players with more talent of the staff. This Tuesday, against the Olympique of Lyon, will play his split number 50 in European competitions.

Ousmane Dembélé

It has played 30 and 60 minutes progressively in the two last parties of the FC Barcelona, and has gone it of less to more. Had a good performance in general lines against the Valladolid, showing as one of the most electrical players and with greater motivation for desequilibrar the marker. With his vertiginous drivings, disequilibrium and technical capacity, can decant anytime the scales to the FC Barcelona in the eighth of final of the UEFA Champions League.

This yes, needs to follow recovering feelings and rhythm of competition after having happened little more than two weeks in the dry dam, by fault of the injury that suffered in front of the Leganés in the Camp Nou. If Dembélé is to tope and shows his greater virtues, the Olympique of Lyon will have it impossible to keep his goal to zero in front of his public.

Luis Suárez

The Uruguayan forward no longer is so lethal like antaño, but keeps on being one of the best arietes of the big leagues. It is the maximum second goleador of the FC Barcelona this season with 16 goals in all the competitions, although it has not premièred this course in the Champions League. Precisely the League of Champions is the tournament that worse is him giving these last years.

The '9' of the Barça does not mark a goal out of the Camp Nou in the maximum European competition from does already three years, and that is a hándicap that will have to surpass this Tuesday. His last goal in Champions was against the Rome the past year, but in the Camp Nou. It is clear that the FC Barcelona will need much more of him in this Champions League to arrive to quarter-finals. After having wrong three clear goals this past Saturday in front of the Valladolid, will have more are goleadora that never in French earths.
