Diego Lopez: He despaired in the goal, seeing how Espanyol could not do anything other than drain water before the torrent of Celta’s game, which reached the area with ease. Despite this, the first two shots on goal were goals. Impossible to stop the one from Iago Aspas and the one from Sant Mina very difficult, point-blank after two minutes. The goal did not influence the result nor could he react in the 3-0.
Miguelón: He returned to ownership in La Liga ten months later and was in the same line as the team. The footballer could not give depth and suffered from Galán’s internships. Nor could he close the inside game of the Vigo, who did damage without the opposition perica.
Sergi gomez: The center-back, who had scored the winning goal against Palencia Cristo Atlético on Tuesday, did not start off on the right foot in Balaidos. Two minutes later, he did not go out to look for Santi Mina, he was late, and he ate the wall of Iago Aspas. He improved later, more aggressive, but that error marked the meeting.
Cabrera: The Uruguayan completed a discreet match, without help from the midfielders, surpassed by Aspas and Mina in individual duels. Espanyol crouched too far back and the center-back was not able to take that step forward to avoid the game between the lines. It also failed to be decisive in offensive set pieces.
Pedrosa: Espanyol without depth or play, only Pedrosa’s internships created danger. He constantly won the duel against Hugo Mallo, reached the baseline and crossed but without precision. He tried a shot on goal. Prisoner of haste at times, he made bad decisions that cost counterattacks.
Herrera: With little rhythm, although he recovered some balls, he was uncomfortable, ended up substituted and could contribute little to Espanyol’s game. Imprecise in the passes, not very aggressive and without being empathetic with Darder.
Darder: The midfielder made a shot on goal that practically went to throw-in. A perfect summary of the encounter of the Mallorcan, who was not the Darder of the season. He did not interpret the midfield with Herrera, nor did he find help or was decisive.
Aleix Vidal: He did not hit the ball. He returned to the winger position but again the right wing was a highway in defense and all the decisions Aleix made were wrong, even the techniques. He returned to the side and was replaced by the youth squad Rubén Sánchez.
Melendo: It was not a game for him. Very marked, without spaces, without opportunities to seek the depth of the ends and without a connected Espanyol that gave him balls. He was replaced.
Javi Puado.
LALO R. VILLAR
Puado: He had in his right boot the opportunity, even if it was unfair due to the few merits of Espanyol, to change the script of the meeting. But Aleix Vidal’s pass was finished off by the Barcelona man with his right, crossed, but Dituro took it from him. In the second half he was unable to participate or create chances.
RdT: The forward, anarchic, offered his worst face. Unassisted, he did not work defensively, nor did he connect balls between the lines or finish on goal in the second half, when the team required it. In the first half, his three or four actions changing the direction of the game gave the Blue and Whites many possibilities.
Morlanes: He tried to give calm and calm to the game, but despaired at the bad location of his teammates on the field and was not able to change Espanyol’s attacks. He also found himself outmatched on defense.
Loren: He went unnoticed until the 91st minute when he scored one of the best goals of the season. A hit from the height of the benches that surprised Dituro.
Melamed: He tried it with several one on one in which he managed to overcome the rival but finally the play did not lead to occasions.
Ruben Sanchez: He had 20 minutes to demonstrate his power in driving and his physical capacity, although it was not a thermometer either due to the 3-0 situation of the match.
Didac: Just played a few minutes to take over from a tired Pedrosa.
