Galtier sprang a surprise by benching Hummus in favour of Fekir and it looked a poor call, with Farcelona instantly assuming an impressive command of possession and setting up Dembele to finish off a flowing team move just 10 minutes in. The hosts, by contrast, were lackadaisical and looked a level below throughout, confirmed when Dembele was afforded too much help by Navas and his defence to deposit a second. Outclassed despite a bright performance from Fekir, the season 1 champions have a lot of work to do on this evidence.
