Barça won after three matches (Inter, Betis and Atlético de Madrid), but their match did not convince. With a lot of errors in the pass, PSV had a few chances to beat Ter Stegen, but only Jong managed to stall a beautiful header in the 85th minute.

It was very difficult for Barça to enter the field and PSV had control of the situation, especially in the first period, a period in which he finished up to three times the number of Marc André goals. ter Stegen.

It was a game with little creation and a lot of arrivals in the zones, without midfield and a lot of live football in which the defenses were not at all correct.

Those of Ernesto Valverde, with an unprecedented lead (Dembélé, Messi, Coutinho), never had control of the match. In the beginning, it was Mark van Bommel who had the first opportunity, mainly because of the Catalans' concentration errors.

Uruguay's Gastón Pereiro and de Jong had their first chances against the goal of Barça, who failed to chain more than two consecutive passes or dominate the situation.

A mistake by Rakitic allowed Pereiro to finish on the left post of Ter Stegen's goal and another mistake, this time by the German goalkeeper, Rosario could score.

But that did not happen like that. Coutinho, in the 19 years, finished next to the left stick in a good transition. Barça only generated the imbalance of Dembélé's right, one of the best azulgranas today, while the PSV was based on air games where de Jong was imposed. In any of them, at the 25 minute, Pereiro could still score.

Barça's best minutes in the first half were between minutes 30 and 40. Messi played more, Arturo Vidal was more present and azulgrana accumulated all chances of danger in the first half over those ten minutes.

The Chileans had it in the 31st minute, but especially in the 35th, when Rosario kicked his club and in the 36th, after Angeliño also saved with Zoet and beat him.

Messi came into play with shots in 36, 39, 40 and 42, but the PSV was stretched again with a touching ball by de Jong who pushed back the crossbar and a rebound that Dumfries went on and on. also dominated the pole the last action of the first time.

And in the second half, Barça was already activated, after two occasions of the PSV, via Hendrix (54) and Rosario (59), but with the same scenario.

Messi appeared, in a video game action, controlling in the area, cutting and ending between four defenses. The Rosario (61 min) placed the ball beside Zoet's stick and in front of Barca (0-1) and the next danger action was also crucial.

A foul on Coutinho was served by Messi and deflected by Pique in the 70 for 0-2 and the closing of the match, although the goal of De Jong, in 85, gave emotion to the match.

Victim of the Dutch captain after a good cross from Angeliño from the left. Barça are already in the second round, will play the home round, but do not distill good feelings.
