ESPN FC’s Alejandro Moreno, Julien Laurens and Frank Leboeuf analyse Barcelona’s 1-0 win over Espanyol to keep the Catalan club in the hunt for the La Liga title. Moreno says Barcelona lacked “fluid movement” when attacking Espanyol, causing Lionel Messi to drift wide and forcing Antoine Griezmann to play in an unfamiliar role. Laurens believes Barcelona were lethargic, but notes their star trio was still involved in the game’s lone goal. Leboeuf thinks Quique Setien fails to create a change of pace in the team with the lineup he plays and questions his decision to bench Ansu Fati.
