Ronald Koeman denies Barcelona's performance is lagging because Lionel Messi is missing. Messi is sidelined with an ankle problem, so he could only watch at Camp Nou as Barca laboured to a 1-1 draw with Eibar in La Liga on Tuesday. Koeman noted the hosts had many chances, including Martin Braithwaite's penalty in the first half, that resulted in nothing and simply they failed to capitalise on their opportunities.
