Barcelona 1×1: not even Messi is saved from general mediocrity

Ter Stegen: They scored two goals. No one can be blamed on any of them. But it seems evident that the German goal has reason to be tired of his teammates still having a thousand and one problems to close the games.

Semedo: One of the few that was saved from the terrible image of the team. It was not that he played a spectacular match, but it is already known that in the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. His speed was vital to avoid a major mess in defense. In attack he was not very participative on the right wing. He saw a somewhat rigorous yellow. He was replaced by Arturo Vidal.

Pique: Very irregular, especially at the ball exit. He was overcome when he had to run backwards. He lost unforgivable balls. On the first goal, he made a strange gesture that has yet to explain what he was looking for. Maybe you should stop all that electric bikes and wakesufring and definitely focus on soccer. He forced the yellow to not travel to Vitoria.

Lenglet: At least he gave his all on the field, literally breaking his face after a ball after receiving a strong nudge. Defensive strut, his presence is the only relief that Ter Stegen has.

Junior: One wonders what Inter must see to be willing to value 40 million on the left side. Horrific match in every way. Bad in defense and lousy in attack. He lost countless balls, never gave solutions in the high phase, he did not combine well with Fati, he was out of place … A game to forget. Obviously he ended up being replaced.

Rakitic: The Croatian spent 66 minutes on the field. He was placed as a defensive pivot, completing a serious game, but without frills. He saw a yellow that leaves him out of the last game against Alavés. Let him rest because his presence facing the Champions League against Naples is essential, especially after the confirmed losses of Sergio Busquets and Arturo Vidal, by sanction.

Riqui Puig: The youth squad was not as successful as in previous appearances. He tried to do many things and participate in the association game, but at times he was a little hasty. He always looked for Messi in the combinative game, with unequal luck. In any case, he continues to demonstrate that he has the level and talent to have continuity with the first team.

Sergi Roberto: Its versatility and sacrifice capacity allow it to be an important piece of equipment. On this occasion, he improved in performance playing right back in the second half, after a disappointing first half as a right insider.

Messi: You cannot pull the cart over. Either his colleagues help him or this is definitely sinking. He crashed a ball to the crossbar and scored a goal. But his face of resignation and despair during the game clearly reflected that he is neither comfortable nor happy. If he complained that playing like this he did not give the team to win the Champions League, playing as against Osasuna does not even give to LaLiga.

Braithwaite: Bad game for the Danish, who every day looks more like Boateng. Without rhythm, without ability to uncheck, without prominence, without presence, a game simply flat and sterile in every way. He scored a goal in a play that the referee had already canceled out of Messi. His beginnings in Barcelona were encouraging, but it seems that his magic has faded after confinement. Right now his future is glimpsed away from Barcelona.

Ansu Fati: He was seen active playing on the left wing, but between Junior's clumsiness and the little presence of Rakitic, his game was diluted. In addition Braithwaite was more a slab than anything else. The youth squad will be able to help the subsidiary for the promotion this weekend.

CHANGES:

Luis Suarez: It came out in the second part. He scored a great goal, but it was canceled. At least he hit the table in the field and tried to react. He sent a ball to the post in the last minutes.

Arturo vidal: The Chilean runs and fights. That's the least you can ask for.

Busquets: A blunder by him in a head clearance triggered Osasuna's second goal.

Sunrise: He tried to give more bite on the left wing.

Of Jong: One of the few positive news of the party. His return after almost a month away gave oxygen to the midfield. Their presence is vital for the Champions.
