Barça's nightmare half in Ibiza: all the possession, none of the shots
Setien's side could not muster a single shot on goal in the opening 45 minutes
Barcelona showed in the first 45 minutes against Ibiza in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday that possession is not synonymous with success. And the most worrying thing is that Ibiza play in the third division.
Quique Setien crowded the midfield in search of control, with De Jong, Riqui Puig and Rakitic all involved, but they weren't able to create chances.
By the end of the half, Barça had 80 percent possession but Ibiza had the only goal. Barça hadn't even had a shot on target, while Ibiza had another goal ruled out, one shot off the post and another well-saved by Neto.
Setien has options on the bench to change the game but he doesn't have Lionel Messi, who has been rested and left behind in Barcelona.
