Neymar couldn’t help theĀ attack team thrive.
Taking on Malaga at Nou Camp on the evening of November 19, Barca was disappointed when they were unable to put the ball into goalkeeper Kameni’s net.
The Malaga draw left Barca out of breath in the race with leading team Real Madrid.
Barcelona 0 – 0 Malaga
Because Suarez was suspended and Messi was rested after the international series, Barca started with an attack including Neymar, Alcacer and the midfielder promoted to replace Turan.
Besides losing the two players leading the top scorer race, Barca can also blame it on `bad luck` in finishing.
Pique had many opportunities to finish but were unsuccessful.
Playing on the counter-attack, Malaga almost made it happen when two opportunities fell to Sandro Ramirez.
After the break, the match continued with a lurking stance from Malaga.
The away team began to fall into a losing position from the 69th minute. During this time, Diego Llorente received a direct red card after a dangerous tackle on Neymar.
Malaga’s defense proved effective with its numbers and fierce play.
Having the advantage, Barca continues to disappoint in terms of finishing ability.
In extra time, due to their efforts to protect the draw, Malaga received another direct red card for Juankar.
