Ter Stegen: The German goal continues with his bad appearance. Everything that goes on goal ends in a goal. The only shot practically between the three sticks served the rival to tie the game. In any case, here the goalkeeper had little to blame because he found himself sold out against Rioja.
Mingueza: Discreet party of the squad player who made many mistakes when combining from the right wing and offered to provide cover in the lane.
Pique: Party to forget yours. Not only did he return to be portrayed in the goal, as on Wednesday with Falcao against Rayo, but also he could not finish the game by requesting the change when noticing discomfort in his right leg, the same one that left him four months out of the playing fields last year.
Eric: Good game of the central. Quick and attentive in anticipation, he managed to cover up all his partner’s mistakes in the central axis. He had a great header to open the scoring, but the goalkeeper was very attentive to disrupt the shot.
Alba: It was from more to less. He started out with a lot of prominence on the left wing, but as the team’s game faded, he also lost steam. In any case, he was trying until the last minute.
Sergio Busquets: In the first half, he was seen to be comfortable in many moments and with very good sensations in the midfield, with Gavi and Nico teaming up, but when the game started to get longer, Badia’s team began to suffer and make mistakes that are not their own. at.
Nico: Until the fatigue and the ramps did not take their toll, he was completing a great game. Absolute protagonist, dominant with the ball, looking for spaces and contributing a lot in the upper block. He tried several shots on goal, but with little luck.
Gavi: The young Sevillian returned to the title and in what way, overflowing with talent and intensity. He gave several spectacular assists that neither Alba nor Memphis knew how to take advantage of. In fact, the Dutch forward ended up smashing the ball to the post on that occasion.
Dest: He repeated as a right winger, but without quite convincing anyone. You cannot deny him his conviction when it comes to trying things and looking for the imbalance, but his lack of effectiveness on the field in the end end up weighing down all his game and momentum.
When: He had to withdraw from the field in the 40th minute due to dizziness, touching his chest and staring blankly. He left the field on his own foot, but then left the stadium by ambulance to spend the night under observation at the hospital. The forward, until the indisposition, was creating danger within the area, but without finishing the task.
Memphis: He scored a real goal, with a thread included and that entered the entire squad. He was very successful in the imbalance from the left wing, getting to kick a ball to the post. But he still lacks something to finish the job.
CHANGES:
Coutinho: He did not repeat his disastrous game in Vallecas, but he remains unconvinced. He heard whistles in the stands, especially after his failed free-kick and a subsequent shot that went through the roof.
Lenglet: He replaced Piqué and complied without further ado.
Riqui Puig: He left in the 69th minute wanting to do many things, but not all of them came out. In any case, it gave a new air to the team.
Bucket: He was positioned as a left winger and was very incisive on the band, but without finding enough resources.
Abd: The Moroccan winger tried to give more bite on the right wing, but with more than one gap.
