Barça has been left with nothing in a week and faces a complicated reconstruction that must undoubtedly go through the boots of Lamine Yamal, once again the best against Real Madrid. Fermín also shone with his drive in the classic.
Soto Grado's performance would have suggested that he would end up expelled but this time he restrained himself. Mysteries of Terrassa.
He took three goals in his backpack but there could have been more. In fact, he made a miraculous save against Vinícius with a tie on the scoreboard that should have served more purpose.
He battled with Vinícius until exhaustion and emerged victorious in that particular duel, which ended with a yellow beard. His form is at a peak but Barça does not benefit from it.
He showed on the field that he is a fundamental piece. The Uruguayan was always connected and could do little to prevent the goals. He tried to lead a Barça that ended up with many young people.
The record indicates him as the author of a penalty and deserving of a card. Neither one thing nor the other. Only Soto Grado clouded another great performance. He does not wrinkle in any scenario, not even in a classic.
When he hangs up his boots he has a future in Hollywood. The sixth installment of A Nightmare on Elm Street awaits you. He is Freddy Krueger for the Barça fans. He didn't give a right and gave away the 2-2.
The need to win left him in the locker room at half-time but his first half was notable. He scored from a corner to make it 0-1 and was outstanding with two cuts, one of them, of course, after losing a ball.
He left the Bernabéu applauded but for the wrong reasons. He left the pitch on a stretcher after injuring his right foot after a shot from Valverde. He had not appeared until then.
We have to talk in the countryside and German has been too quiet for some time. He had another gray game, with very little participation in the game, and Barça noticed it. He is marked.
The reconstruction of Barça goes through his boots. He did everything well in his first classic as a starter. He scored a goal that was denied by the referee and made it 1-2. He ate Camavinga.
It is increasingly clear that his big game in Paris was an oasis. At the Bernabéu he passed again with more pain than glory. He missed his only two shots and went to the bench early.
Madrid did not leave him any room to shine. He worked in defense and was able to take the corner for 0-1. His position in the eleven, right now, seems indisputable.
It cannot be the most backward medium.
He capped off a great second half with a goal. His intensity wasn't contagious, a shame.
He got into trouble with Rüdiger.
He neither could nor tried too hard.
