Barça ran face to face with reality, which missed the absent too much, all of them fundamental pieces in Xavi's scheme (Pedri, Dembélé, De Jong and Christensen), and nothing could be done before the great comeback signed by Real Madrid. The Barça team fell apart as the white goals arrived and few local players were saved. Balde's exuberance was surely the best of Barça.
The technician did not find the key to overcome the casualties and offer a competitive version.
Nightmare night for the German who was barely able to show his qualities with a save for Asensio. Vinícius and Benzema shot him at will and in the penalty he missed the side.
Unknown version of yours. After two good deeds against Vinícius he was losing steam and ended up completely outclassed. He even ended up stung by the Brazilian and was booked. He was so desperate that he went on a great and unlikely adventure in attack.
He signed his worst performance of the course showing an unprecedented insecurity so far. The Real Madrid strikers won almost all the duels. He slipped several times.
He was having a calm first half until the last play, in which he was unable to cut the counter from 0-1 with a foul on Rodrygo. He lacked a bit more killer instinct.
The only Barça player who deserved to approve. His physical exuberance was the best offensive weapon and helped in defense. Courtois saved two good shots and even forced a card for Carvajal.
The scenario that was drawn in the second half, with Madrid without stopping running against it, surpassed him. Barça missed the pause in the game that the captain usually gives him.
The squad player completed one of those somewhat desperate nights, in which he hardly had an impact on the game. He spared no physical effort but was not a factor at any time.
He spoiled a good first half, in which he recovered many balls and was very active, committing an avoidable penalty to Vinícius, which was 0-3. Xavi changed him immediately.
He played close to the right wing, opening the field, positionally impeccable, but with the ball at his feet he was not able to dribble past Camavinga once. He didn't hit the shot either.
He had an intense duel with Militão from which he came out the loser. Courtois took his only shot, with his left foot, which could have changed the tie. The play ended in 0-1.
He had a couple of good drives to begin with but then he got lost in wars with Vinícius, with whom he faced a couple of times. In the first he saw the yellow.
His greatest contribution was to grab Asensio to cut a counter.
He came out to try to stop the bleeding in the center of defense and did what he could.
He ran a lot but did not give one.
