Barcelona approved and suspended: Griezmann puts on Messi's suit

Ter Stegen: He had few interventions, but very decisive, especially a Capoue shot that he miraculously served with his feet on the same goal line. In the goal of the Nigerian Chukwueze he could do little, since he stood alone in front of the goal, dribbling the German goal with great discretion. He was very participative with his feet when getting the ball, especially in the first half.

Mingueza: Great game once again from the youth squad, who always knew how to read the needs of the team. His was the assistance that allowed Griezmann to tie the game with a great Vaseline. He has already been twelve consecutive games in the starting eleven and at this rate they do not take him away from there or with turpentine.

Pique: He suffered a lot with Paco Alcácer, showing that he is not yet one hundred percent. Strangely he did not cover Gerard Moreno, perhaps because covering his best striker was a very high risk if you are not entirely sure. He had a problem getting the ball out under pressure from Alcácer. Good in the passing game where he avoided more than one dangerous play. In the last minutes he paired up with Moreno, offering better solutions.

Lenglet: He had to dance with the ugliest, Gerard Moreno, and he fulfilled the record with flying colors. The Villarreal striker only had two dangerous actions and in one, a header, it seems that he came from a clear push to the French.

Dest: He played only 45 minutes. He was replaced at halftime by Sergi Roberto. He had them with Alberto Moreno, who never finished overflowing with his band. He still lacks a little more confidence in his game to consolidate himself on the right wing.

Sergio Busquets: Good game for the Spanish international, who despite not finding such fluid passing lines on this occasion, did know how to move the team judiciously at many moments of the game. He saw a yellow and was substituted in the final minutes.

Pedri: The canary begins to show clear symptoms of fatigue. He has come to the end of the season exhausted after having played every game this season, except for one. He was participatory and very dynamic, but he was seen to fail and without the freshness of other occasions. Even so, his presence on the field is essential because he brings judgment and talent in the midfield.

From Jong: You must still be wondering how he did not leave the La Cerámica stadium with at least one goal because he had two very clear chances, the kind that go around the world, especially the first with a point-blank shot after a great assist from Alba that still has to Asenjo is thinking how he got it on the same goal line. Later, the Dutchman had another great chance, only against Araujo after a great assist from Dembélé, but the ball went incomprehensibly out of the way after an attempt at Vaseline.

Sunrise: Good game from the left-back, who was very participatory from his side, although this time he could not count any assistance. He worked hard to stop a fireproof Chukwuze. By the way, an unfortunate slip of his led to the goal of the Ngerian.

Messi: He did not score, did not give any assistance, but was once again decisive in his game. It caused the expulsion of Trigueros, with a direct red, for an untimely entry and always knew how to put the pace that the game needed, temporizing or accelerating. He had few clear chances, but in a dry heeled shot he forced Asenjo to make an intervention of great merit.

Griezmann: This is the player that Barcelona believed they had signed two summers ago. A footballer committed to the team, but at the same time capable of being decisive and solving the matches. He scored a great goal thanks to a great pass into space by Mingueza and a masterful Vaseline that left Asenjo nailed. In addition, the goal came the minute Villarreal had gone ahead on the scoreboard. A few minutes later, the Frenchman took advantage of a faulty assignment by Fuyth to finish off hard at the exit of Villarreal's goal and overtake the Blaugrana. With this double, Antoine has already signed eleven in LaLIga.

CHANGES:

Sergi Roberto: He fulfilled in the 45 minutes he played in the second half. He positioned himself as a right back and read the script perfectly.

Ilaix: He puts intensity and strength in all his actions. Koeman already has his Wijnaldum in midfield.

Dembélé: It came out a little cold, but little by little it warmed up and came to draw a huge assist to De Jong, who erred in an incomprehensible way.

Araújo: He entered with four minutes to go to the end of the game, but his presence was noticeable on the field.
