Barcelona’s 1×1 against Valencia at halftime

Ter Stegen POROUS

It is becoming a habit: first shot, goal. Being a whiplash from Gayá, unstoppable, unstoppable it didn’t seem like it either.

Sergi Roberto MOBILE

He is still a player for coaches rather than for the public. Surely it is because of its ease of being relocated, this time from the side. He complied.

Pique STRESSED

Valencia’s speed and Maxi’s rudeness gave him a hard time.

Eric Garcia GROWN UP

His marking Mbappé, a rare goal aside, restored his prestige. He looked more confident.

Jordi Alba INCISIVE

He gave a lot of depth down the left lane: he put in a low center worthy of a goal that Gayá conjured and put the ball into the area that ended in a penalty.

Busquets READAPTED

First appearance with Barça after being chosen MVP of the Nations League. Changing their habitat, from a very short team to a much longer one, was not easy.

F. De Jong VARIABLE

It started much more than it finished. Lead gray.

Gavi CONSOLIDATED

The employee of the month. It came to stay. He intervened in the 1-1 action and saw a yellow that showed his defensive involvement.

Dest DIFFERENT

A thunder with the United States that Koeman wanted to take advantage of much closer to the area. Some of the electrical charge was lost on the trip.

Memphis INFLUENTIAL

He was already ‘on fire’ from his time at the ‘oranje’ team. He was Ansu’s essential collaborator at 1-1 and scored his goal with that penalty-howitzer on foot.

Ansu Fati EXPLOSIVE

He made his debut in the eleven for the first time since his injury and he justified it in a big way. A great goal was invented out of nowhere and forced the action in extremis that, controversially aprte, ended in a penalty for Gayá.
