Barça’s 1×1 against Celta

1

Ter Stegen

Ambiguous

He regained ownership after his punctual medical leave against Betis. Lime and sand: he took out a prodigious hand, almost certainly denying Galhardo a goal, but then returned it in a poor delivery that ended in the traditional Aspas celebration.

2

Dani Alves

suffered

With the ball at his feet, he is always a reliable player. But behind his back he suffered again, this time with Franco Cervi, especially in the first half.

3

Ronald Araujo

evacuated

He gave the big scare of the night and of the season when he was rushed off the field by ambulance after a collision with Gavi. Before, he was spectacular even in the failure: how he put out the fire that he himself had caused, leaving only Aspas in a one-on-one with Ter Stegen! “Uruguayan”, chanted the Camp Nou.

4

Eric Garcia

Irregular

After a quite remarkable first half, recovering up and correcting down, a poor delivery almost gave Celta a goal, which returned the deference.

5

Jordi Alba

mobilized

After scoring the goal that secured the Champions League, Xavi invited him to occupy interior corridors, in his tactical agitation. He left Aspas with that final entry that cost him a yellow card and will leave Barça even more in the picture in Getafe.

6

Frenkie De Jong

challenged

He inherited the helm of the ship in the absence of Busquets, in a very long Barça that, at times, lost the ball against Celta, but at the same time led to arrivals with fangs in the tactical shaker that the game became.

7

Ferran Torres

clumsy

Still waiting for the best version of the former City player, who continued to struggle with dribbling: Iago Aspas took the ball from him in improvised lateral tasks. Xavi relieved him after the break.

8

Gavi

Discreet

It was applied with his usual intensity, although he lacked more precision when playing the ball.

9

Dembélé

Can opener

Without knowing if it will be his penultimate game at the Camp Nou, a first flash was enough to change the script of a thick game: run and goal pass to Memphis for 1-0. It was the prelude to a second half with a lot of prominence from the Frenchman, with one more assist -the 13th of the course- and a forced penalty that they stole away.

10

Aubameyang

Accurate

He regained ownership in his demarcation of ‘9’ and fulfilled what this role of specialist demands, scoring two goals and flirting with some more. There are already 12 in the middle of the campaign.

11

Memphis Depay

Decisive

New position, in Xavi’s search for greater creativity from the second row. The influence of the Dutchman on the scoreboard and in the game was unquestionable: he scored a goal, gave another and ripped Murillo’s red with an exquisite cut.

12

Riqui Puig

Frustrated

First, because his ownership was expected and he appeared only in the second part. And second, because he had a goal erased due to an offside of the square and bevel.

13

lenglet

Urgent

Araujo’s accident took him to the court as required by the script.

14

Ansu Fati

Progressive

This time he did not score, but little by little he transmits more spark and security in his physique. He was the victim of a penalty that was not charged either.

15

Luke de Jong

Darling

It is evident that he has the affection of the Camp Nou. He finished off the minute he stepped onto the field.

16

Mingueza

Finalist

He had to close the strange end of a game marked by Araujo’s scare.
