He played as a false 9, which he basically did at walking pace. Once on the ball his touch and skill were as good as ever, coupled with customary bursts of acceleration to nip away from opponents or draw a foul.How did he play last night? The clips I saw of him he literally didn't move, rooted to the spot, save for the penalty. He wasn't doing any chasing or making himself available for a pass, no interest defensively, but he did seem genuinely passionate about scoring.
Hard to read him right now.
Without the ball though it was like Barca were defending with 10 men. Whether that’s attitude or just his actual ability to run now it’s difficult to tell.
