Barcelona approved and suspended: Umtiti is 'portrayed' in the two goals

Ter Stegen: He made a prodigious stop to a strong shot from Escudero. In the two goals he could not do anything as they were shots from point-blank range.

Junior: Went from less to more. He started out very shy and barely appeared in the band, having to multiply Dembélé in aid, but little by little he released and ended up offering a worthy version. It was noted in any case that he was not comfortable on the right flank.

Mingueza: Except for a specific error that could cost the team dearly, the youth squad had a remarkable game. He left the right side, showing his best virtues as a central defender, especially in speed and anticipation. These types of matches serve to grow as a footballer.

Umtiti: It was not as disastrous as the day of Granada in the Cup, but unfortunately it appears again in the photo of the two goals of Sevilla. He improved a lot in the exit of the ball, where he did not make any mistakes, but he continues to show a lack of speed and physique that keep him from the big events of the season.

Sunrise: Good game from the side, without being spectacular either. He lavished less than usual in attack and barely found a connection with Messi, but in general his game was more than meritorious.

Sergio Busquets: Right, no more. You can not put any but, but neither can you praise your meeting. He complied with the script, but against rivals of this entity the team needs more of his contribution.

From Jong: The Dutchman could not break the lines with the ease of the last games since he had a very compact team in front that hardly left any loopholes.

Pedri: Very irregular. His ability to sacrifice without the ball is undeniable, but without being able to break lines in the face of a web as thick and deep as the one Lopetegui deployed in the field. The game ended exhausted and it was the first change.

Dembélé: The French forward was the best of the game. The best resource to break the defense of Sevilla, starting from the right, and looking for life alone or scanning the horizon in search of Messi. In addition, his defensive solidarity was spectacular, covering the backs of an overwhelmed Junior on more than one occasion.

Griezmann: He gave an enormous assistance to Leo, which unfortunately he could not take advantage of. The Frenchman contributed work and sacrifice in abundance, but a player of his level is asked for more, much more.

Messi: Who was closest to scoring the goal. Up to three times he tried, but this time Bono won the game. First, with an accurate shot, which he served miraculously with his foot, then with another tight shot, which he successfully stopped and finally with a free-kick that cleared ìn extremis ’.

CHANGES:

Riqui Puig: Came out in the last six minutes, replacing an exhausted Pedri. He brought dynamism and ball speed, but perhaps the change came too late.

Trincao: He could do little in the few minutes he was on the field.
