Ter Stegen: He gave the scare during the warm-up by hurting the thumb of his right hand. Fortunately the thing did not go further, jumping to the field. The truth is that he could have played with the injured finger because he only had two interventions in the whole game, being very little demanded by Sevilla.
Mingueza: Superlative. The intensity imposed by the defender of the subsidiary in each action was commendable. He played as the first of the three centrals, setting an excellent game. In the second part he was a bit more forced, but he did not lower his guard. It seems that Koeman has finally found his key with the player.
Pique: Great party for the central defender, who has plenty of leadership and ambition. He endured 66 minutes on the field at a great level, despite repeatedly touching his right knee. He got out of hand with De Jong. The player himself was in charge of reassuring the fans by clarifying that his knee discomfort was not important and that he had agreed with the coach to play about seventy minutes.
Lenglet: His best game this season. It seems that his mistake against Cádiz has spurred him on and in what way. Forceful in his actions, quick in anticipation and neat in handling the ball. He has redeemed himself from his mistake on the penalty a week ago.
Dest: He needed such a match. This time he played much more liberated in defense, having his backs guarded by Mingueza, always looking for depth on the right wing. Their forays were extremely dangerous, showing that there is side wood. He sent a ball to the squad after a powerful shot inside the area.
Sergio Busquets: Outstanding. He moved the team how and when he wanted. He always chose the most accurate option, accompanied by a fireproof De Jong and an omnipresent Pedri.
From Jong: It is in a moment of spectacular form. His ability to break between the lines is inexhaustible, as well as a waste of sublime abilities without the ball to avoid the transition of the rival.
Sunrise: They were seen with another old rocker like Jesús Navas, where neither of them came out clearly the winner, since they canceled each other. In any case, Barcelona ended up being the beneficiary of this mutual cancellation.
Pedri: What this 18-year-old boy is doing is still something paranormal. It is not normal to play games with so much pressure with such tranquility. His talent seems that he does not have a ribbon and that every day that passes offers more versatility if possible. Too bad that in an unfortunate play he had to ask for a change due to discomfort in his right ankle.
Messi: He signed another match to frame. Goal and assist. They are numbers of a true genius. 19 goals in La Liga and 38 scored against Sevilla. His pass to Dembélé, leaving him alone, before the tangle of rivals, and his extraordinary goal, in a compendium of talent and ambition, show that the Argentine still believes in LaLiga.
Dembélé: Koeman asked the French striker for more efficiency and the second he had against Bono did not fail. He gave imbalance and depth, sacrificing a lot in defense when it came to high pressure. An outstanding match for Ousmane, who is experiencing his best season since he has been at Barcelona.
CHANGES:
Araújo: He entered the 66th minute for Piqué with the intention of picking up the pace of the competition, but had to withdraw just over fifteen minutes later when his left ankle suffered. He left very angry.
Ilaix Moriba: That a youth enters the field with this attitude is great news. In his first action, he almost took the ball from Bono and shortly after he hit Messi with his heel so that he left alone before the goalkeeper.
Umtiti: He entered the field to replace a depleted Araújo. He fulfilled in the ten minutes that he was on the pitch.
Braithwaite: He wanted and wanted to do a lot. As always, he was left in the middle of everything.
