Adnan Januzaj had a perfect wide open scoring opportunity late in the second half versus Barcelona Saturday. He did not capitalize though; as his shot went wide left; just off the post. No big deal though; it’s just preseason. Januzaj would redeem himself for that blown chance in extra time; making a shot that looked much more “midseason form” than the earlier offering.
Here is the footage:

Well done Januzaj!
