Only Gavi, Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati when they came out in the second half knew how to revitalize Barcelona. They showed competitive pride. Meanwhile, men like Busquets or Dembélé are very marked. Also coach Xavi.
Ter Stegen / 5 / Shake. His unbeaten streak ended. It cannot be said that he was the culprit. At 1-0 he covered Vinícius's initial attempt. He couldn't do anything in the second and almost stopped the penalty in the third.
Sergi Roberto /4/Overwhelmed. In the end he had to dance with the stinging Vinícius, who lost his speed in the goal that opened the scoring. Better with the ball than without it. He lacked quite a bit of forcefulness.
Koundé/4/Slow. He returned after his injury and positioned himself as central. He did not act with the authority he is supposed to. He came out late to try to cover Valverde's shot. His emergency return did not reactivate the defense.
Eric Garcia/4/Pictured. It always comes out in some negative photograph. In this case in two. A bad clearance of his was at the origin of the 2-0 and he committed the penalty of 3-1. He tried to anticipate.
Bucket/4/Nervous. In his premiere in a classic he paid the hazing. Hesitant with the ball and ostensibly nervous is the first day that he is seen surpassed by a game. He was just replaced.
Busquets/2/Atropellado. The best thing that could have happened to him would have been to be a substitute. Slow and unable to take down Kroos at 1-0 his current seams emerged. It is no longer for throne meetings.
Frenkie de Jong/5/Crescent. One of the novelties. She tasted some break with her stride and attempted the shot. It started cold and went from less to more. As a midfielder he provided quality minutes.
Pedri/4/Discontinuous. He tried to bring light in moments of difficulty and left drops of quality, but without continuity. The team needs him constantly. Surrounded by footballers without conviction. He ended up touched.
Raphinha/3/Artificial. Fireworks. Appearances, quite a few, but without overflow and without any lucidity. His defensive aids weren't the most lucid either. It leaves a lot to be desired.
Dembele/3/Hidden. He barely overflowed on the left and sought to distance himself towards the axis to connect with his teammates. On the right he did not contribute too much either. With little competitive pride.
Lewandowski/4/Deactivated. Held by Militão, he enjoyed a possible offside occasion. He ended up desperate, taking a fatal foul and asking for a penalty from Carvajal. He grazed the ball in Torres' goal.
Gavi/7/Proud. He rebelled. He tried the shot and recovered the ball from 2-1.
Ferran Torres/7/Scorer. He contributed fight, uncheck and goal.
Jordi Alba/5/Serene. gave calm
Ansu Fati/7/Revulsive. He was close to finding a goal and assisted at 2-1.
Kessie/SC/Recourse. She left for Pedri.
Xavi/4/Late. He insisted on keeping Busquets in the starting eleven and did not make any changes until game time.
