grandchild. Bad game. Insecure, eating more than one ball, making the statue in a launch that ended the crossbar, without hitting the ball with his feet. It is clear that Ter Stegen has little competition.
Mingueza. Portrayed in Linares’ goal. He was late and had his wallet stolen. He had a lot of trouble getting the ball out wisely. Every day he makes it clear that his level is not enough for this Barça.
Araújo. He played a good part of the game under the influence of a strong pain in his hand. In the end, he ended up being replaced at halftime by Piqué.
Eric. Correct game and without fanfare from the central. Sometimes it lacks a bit of forcefulness.
Sergio Busquets. Very irregular in his game. It cost him to control the game. Partly because of the rival and partly because he was not entirely comfortable.
Alves. He played in so many positions on the field that it was difficult to interpret at the end of what he played. In his redebut, he was seen with great enthusiasm, but somewhat misplaced in many phases of the match. He got tired of centering with more or less success. He played the ninety minutes. It must be remembered that it had not played an official match for six months.
Nico. The best of the game. Fran’s son is simply a godsend. He does everything well and always with discretion. It was multiplied by the field. He only lacked the goal to put the icing on the cake.
Riqui Puig. The youth squad had a particularly heavy game, especially at the beginning, losing six unforced balls. Then he knew how to connect better between the lines, but without being decisive. He had a great chance after a good cross from Nico, but his volley shot went wide. In any case, Xavi did not quite like what he saw on the field and he no longer came out in the second half.
Ilias. The young winger had two good chances starting from the right, but ended up frustrated partly due to his mistake and partly due to receiving a push that ended up unbalancing him. It did not come out in the second part.
Jutglà. He is still a decisive player. He scored again after a great personal move, which ended with a precise shot to the far post that Razak could not stop. It is making merits not to go down to the subsidiary.
Alba. He missed Messi more than ever. He did not make a successful cross, although he tried hard. It was more extreme than lateral. It wasn’t his night.
Changes
Frenkie. He was barely twenty minutes on the field, injured. He was playing a more than discreet game, as is customary in the Dutch.
Dembele. He scored a very important goal, which served to put the tie on the scoreboard. In the goal, it was both a success of the French and a failure of the rival goalkeeper.
Pique. He came out replacing an Araújo with hand problems. Serious match.
Alvaro. He replaced Frenkie. He contributed physicality to the midfield.
