Ousmane Dembele converted an historic penalty against Ferencvaros

The spot kick, won by Martin Braithwaite, saw Barca get another for the fifth game running

Sport.es

Barcelona beat Ferencvaros 3-0 in the Champions League, their fifth win from five games in the group phase this season.

After goals from Antoine Griezmann and Martin Braithwaite, Ousmane Dembele converted from the spot.

Braithwaite won it, hacked down by Emmanuel Frimpong. And when Dembele scored it, it led to a curious statistic being found.

Barca are the first team to be given a penalty in five consecutive Champions League matches.

Messi earned one in the first game against Ferencvaros and another against Dinamo Kiev, while Ansu Fati was fouled in the box in Turin and Braithwaite won the pens in Kiev and here.

 

That shows the attacking footprint that Koeman is leaving on the current team, with pace in the final metres to provoke fouls.
