Barcelona Player Ratings

Ter Stegen – The German’s run of 499 minutes without a goal conceded ended today. He did commit and error with the ball at his feet but was still immense as he saved Nolito’s shot when the score was 1-2 and also late in the game. 8.0/10

Semedo – Decent game from him, added a lot of depth for Barcelona at the right. 6.0/10

Pique – The Catalan defender led the team with example and contantly took care of Aspas and Smolov, could’ve scored from a corner as he struck the crossbar. 7.0/10

Umtiti – Not his best game, doesn’t look confident on the ball at all. Was at fault for the first goal for Celta. 6.0/10

Alba – He looked fatigued in the game, didn’t have that unreal connection with Messi that used to devastate opponents. 6.0/10

Midfield

Rakitic – Celta’s first goal came through his sloppy pass but other than that another commanding game from him as he recovered a lot of ball and gave the team a nice balance. 8.0/10

Vidal – the Chilean fought all afternoon and helped out more in defensive transition than he did in attack. Looked like a headless chicken for spells due to his impulsive nature and willingness to run around the field. 6.0/10

Puig – really good game from the academy player especially in the first half. Defensively, he worked hard too. 8.0/10

Forwards

Messi – tried hard to land his 700th goal but didn’t end up with his name on the scoresheet. He did add two assists to his record though. 8.0/10

Suarez – His first two goals since his injury return. The Uruguayan is not 100% and even though he scored a brace, he lacked the conenction he usually has with Messi and those around him. 8.0/10

Ansu Fati – the academy player positioned himself on the left and gave depth and width to the team. Exhausted by the end and was switched off for Braithwaite . 6.0/10

Substitutes

Braithwaite – 5.0/10

Griezmann – 4.5/10

Junior – 5.0/10

Arthur – 5.0/10
