At the Metropolitano, Barça completed one of its best performances of the season, without a doubt the most convincing, which allowed it to overtake Girona in the standings and move into second place, still 8 points behind Real Madrid. Both individually and collectively, the Barça team completed a magnificent match.
The final 0-3 will bury in the highlights the hand that prevented Llorente's goal, which would have meant 1-2. It was as decisive an action as any. He gave two 'almost' assists on goal.
He was once again the most demanding defender and emerged victorious in all the duels. He is living the sweetest moment of his Barça stage. He was reprimanded very early and handled it without great stress.
There was no problem. He played with magnificent poise and transmitted that confidence to his linemates. This version of Uruguayan is essential for dreaming.
A filterer by profession, his ability to break lines with the ball is unparalleled among centre-backs on the five continents. Without the ball he has not yet encountered a striker who surprises him.
Cancelo's loss opened the doors of the eleven for him, again playing on the left with a changed leg. He looked as loose as ever despite the setting. Replaced due to inconvenience.
Acting as a midfielder, he led the victory with a monumental display and a physical display rarely seen. He took out the periscope to generate the 0-1 and 0-3 plays.
He started due to Christensen's discomfort and was a nightmare for Atlético. Oblak denied him the first of the night but then recovered by heading the 0-3 at will. Continue to amaze.
He helped Gündogan with the construction work and got tired of running without the ball. He didn't appear as much as he did against Naples but his work was worth its weight in gold for Barça.
He contributed more in the destruction than in the construction but he occupied the spaces well. After the break, he stole the ball and assisted Lewandowski to make it 0-2. He asked for the change because of some inconvenience.
He participated more than ever in the collective game and had a lot of impact. He gave two precise goal assists and made it 0-2 with a world-class finish. He remembered his 'Bayern version'.
Second goal for Atlético of the course, one in Montjuïc and another this Sunday, lodging the ball in the corner of the goal. He did not celebrate it despite the whistles he received. He needed to participate a little more.
