For the second consecutive match, FC Barcelona completed a very weak performance, this time against Shakhtar Donetsk (1-0). Unlike Saturday in Anoeta, this time there was neither luck nor success to avoid a defeat that reflects the entire team

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona added his first defeat of the season in Champions in his visit to the Shakhtar Donetsk (1-0). The ones of Xavi Hernández finished the first part without finishing to door and down in the marker. Andn the complement there was a warm reaction with the changes made by the egarense, but the Ukrainians finished it winning with justice in Hamburg. Like this we saw to the group blaugrana in his second party like visitor in this Champions.

Ter Stegen: Fusilado

The German avoided a more been bulky defeat with a paradón to Gocholeishvili in the beginning of the complement. His pulled was useless to avoid the so much of the venues, but did not have responsibility any in the action.

Joao Cancel: Warm

I cancel it returned to his natural place in front of the Shakhtar, but again was underneath of his usual level. The luso suffered marking to Matviyenko and decided badly the times that projected to the attack. On the end lost a hand manually with Newerton where the Brazilian converted a golazo that was invalidated by offside.

Ronald Araújo: Cumplidor

Although it could not do at all to avoid the goal of the Shakhtar, the 'charrúa' completed a sobria performance in which practically it did not lose any duel. It was admonished in the discount of the first part by one an entrance to destiempo on Rakitskyy, but could complete the party without risks of expulsion.

Andreas Christensen: Attentive

Although it appeared in the postcard of the goal, looking powerless how Danylo Sikan cabeceaba with total freedom, the Danish fulfilled like second head office. Besides, it played the 90 minutes, something that has been able to do little this season.

Marcos Alonso: Desbordado

Marcos tried to associate with Ferran in the first part, but saw slow in the shrinking and finish portrayed in the goal of the Shakhtar, where the Ukrainians found freedom to arm the played by his band. Neither it reached to cover to Sikan in the beginning of the second part in a manually saved hand by Ter Stegen. His change was sung, leaving his place to Balde in the 60'.

Oriol Romeu: Sacrificed

It did not have a bad party, but the circumstances forced his exit in the minute 60. In the first part was ordered, without risking passes in exit and filtering some pass in contrary field. Before going out tested with a long pass to Lewandowski to the that the '9' did not arrive by little. It improved regarding his last performances.

Gavi: Worn

As of habit, the '6' was the one who more ran in the 81 minutes that was on the field, but did not have incidence neither in attack neither in defence, arriving late when treating to recover several balloons and exasperated for going in more at stake when the team suffered to associate . Fermín ingresó in his place in the 81', with the team dumped to by the tie.

Gündogan: Unimportant

The German could not deploy his football in front of the good defensive work of the Ukrainians. With Oriol in the eleven had more freedom to move in the front of the area, but hardly tested with a shot that brushed the crossbar in the first part. In the complement, hardly tried it with some centres that finish in at all. The Barça missed him when it was necessary to tighten in the final stretch to look for the tie.

Raphinha: Imprecise

The Brazilian began being the best of the attack culé, asking all the balloons and testing when fulfilling the first chamber of hour with a latigazo that left high. Afterwards it went turning off and Xavi did not doubt in putting to Lamine Yamal in his place in the minute 60.

Ferran Torres: Turned off

The '11' desaprovechó the titularity with a quite grey performance. It tried it with a pair of shots diverted and some diagonals with which could not outline to finish to door. Xavi put to Joao Félix in his place in the 60'.

Lewandowski: Desconectado

Another party for the forget of the '9'. It did not finish to door in all the party and saw slow, very turn# off, something odd in a footballer that always looks for to associate with his mates. His frustration remained reflected with an entrance to destiempo on Gocholeishvili in which it saved of the yellow.

Alejandro Balde: Imperioso

It gave more depth to the Barça by left, in addition to recovering some dangerous balloon when the team was totally dumped in attack and the Shakhtar bet by the long balloons for contragolpear. In spite of not being to tope, is clear that Balde is the best option in this place.

Lamine Yamal: Revulsivo

It was the only change of Xavi that generated what the egarense looked for in the complement. The juvenile left footprint by right in the first balloon that touched, desbordando by his band to filter a pass that Joao Félix did not reach to finish to door. Also it tried it of head, stepping the area constantly and with a centre-kick, but there was not way to break the zero.

Joao Félix: Isolated

The luso looked for to generate danger by left, but with exception of an attempt of desborde where demanded penalti (there was not at all, Joao fell only), did not contribute practically at all to the game culé during more than half hour, except forcing some shot of corner. The one of Viseo has not been the same from the last stop of selections.

Pedri: Cold

Unlike the Saturday in Anoeta, the '8' could not do the difference in the party. His entry gave to the Barça another air for arrinconar to the Shakhtar in the final stretch, but only contributed danger with a centre to Lamine Yamal that the juvenile finished above the crossbar. Like the rest of the team, was very cold in the freezing night of Hamburg.

Fermín López: Testimonial

It replaced to Gavi in the 81' to freshen the centre of the field. It tried to give a hand to generate danger in attack, but touched very few balloons.
