Twitter erupts as Barcelona thrash Ferencvaros 3-0 in Lionel Messi's absence

Antoine Griezmann has well and truly arrived at FC Barcelona

Barcelona eased to a comfortable 3-0 win over Ferencvaros to continue their flawless start to their UEFA Champions League campaign. Ronald Koeman's side have now won all five games and sit atop Group G, with the lone home fixture against Juventus remaining before the knockouts.

Lionel Messi was once again rested for the Champions League clash, but the Blaugrana had enough firepower to overcome the Hungarian outfit. Antoine Griezmann opened the scoring for Koeman's side, netting in his third successive game for the Blaugrana for the first time since making the switch to Camp Nou.

Griezmann continues rich vein of form for Barcelona

Martin Braithwaite then doubled the away side's lead with a neat goal, capping off an excellent team move. The goal was Braithwaite's fourth in three Champions League games this season.

Ousmane Dembele then converted from the spot to make it 3-0 and put the game out of Ferencvaros' reach in the 28th minute.

Here are the best tweets from the game:

Griezmann has finally arrived!

Griezmann scores for third game in a row for Barça, lovely flicked finish. Hadn't scored in back-to-back games for the club before Sunday. Five goals in last seven now

Griezmann on his celebration: ′′ In morning I was having breakfast with my daughter and asked her how she would like me to celebrate if I scored and she asked me to celebrate like that."

What a sensational team goal!

33 - Martin Braithwaite’s 🇩🇰 goal for @FCBarcelona against Ferencvárosi TC is the longest pass sequence of any @ChampionsLeague goal this season with a total of 33 passes. Overwhelming. pic.twitter.com/TEDPpNwf1O

The strike force that Barcelona need, not the one it deserves?

Goals in last three matches for Barcelona:

Braithwaite - 4
Griezmann - 3

Ousmane Dembele, what a player when fit!

We don't talk enough about the fact that Dembele actually scores often when he is fit. Man probably has the best goal/match ratio after Messi lmao

Really?

No way Dembele has more UCL goals in the first half of this game (1) than Mbappe has UCL goals in the last 365 days (0) 😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/TfV6sg8zLL
