Without Messi on the pitch, Antoine Griezmann as on penalty duty. Ansu Fati got a penalty for the home side after being clearly brought down by Mandi, but the penalty was saved. Griezmann cannot score a penalty.
Griezmann's terrible penalty record is now a serious cause for concern. He has now missed four in a row. The latest came against Real Betis after Mandi fouled Ansu Fati, but Claudio Bravo saved Griezmann's spot kick.
Barca were 1-0 up against Betis after 30 minutes when Ansu Fati was clearly fouled in the box by Mandi.
That is why he took the penalty. He wanted to score and get that weight off his back. But the goalkeeper Claudio Bravo had other ideas and he stopped the Frenchman's effort.
Griezmann's spot kick was at a good height to the Chilean's right. As the former Man City man guessed the right way, it was a routine save for the goalie.
