In the mark was a so much more disordered of the usual, but resolved with abstemiousness the individual duels in where it had to multiply in front of the doubts of Marcos Alonso. Also it tried it, without luck, in the aerial game to unemployed balloon.

Marcos Alonso

It commissioned to launch the corners in the first part and, in defence, went back to leave doubts like second head office beside Ronald Araújo, although it did not have direct responsibility in any of the goals of the Ray. Xavi opted for removing him in the 57' to plant to Jordi Alba in search of greater depth by left.

Alejandro Balde

It saw the yellow in the first part by a strong entrance to Izi Palazón that finish conditioning him. Xavi ingresó to Jordi Alba and to Ansu Fati in the complement looking for generate danger by his band, since the canterano did not attain to connect with Ferran while the one of Foios was in field.

Frenkie Of Jong

It completed his more toneless party of the semester.

To ten for the end, Xavi gave him rest ingresando to Pablo Tower.

Pedri

The mediocentro still is far of his best level and lost a balloon with Óscar Trejo that well could cost a goal, of not being by Ter Stegen. It alternated position with Frenkie in the beginning and saw quite uncomfortable. Still like this it left a stupendous assistance to Lewandowski before the end of the first time that finish with a goal cancelled to the Pole by offside milimétrico.

Ferran Torres

Had invalid incidence in attack by left during the 57 minutes that was in the field. The one of Foios left to escape a new opportunity to try win the place of face to the 2023/24 and the time begins to finish him, more still in front of the imminent return of Ousmane Dembélé.

Raphinha

The Brazilian began being the most active of the attack of the Barça, but his intensity was of more to less and finished contributing very little during the 90 minutes. To the hour of party was admonished by a fault on Fran García, sample of his impotence in front of a night that could have been of the last in the season like titling by right.

Lewandowski

The '9' had revancha in the second part with a golazo of volley that allowed him cut his bad series in League. Although it was something isolated was the best of the attack culé and well could achieve a doublet, of not being by the offside verified by the VAR in the minute 41, when the Barça seemed to react. At the end, his so much was anecdótico, but serves to move away him in the table of goleo.

Jordi Alba

It looked for to generate depth by left doing the tandem with Balde, but had little transcendence in the half hour that played. To the '18' finish him the opportunities and everything aims to that the Barça will look for his exit in summer.

Ansu Fati

The '10' replaced to Ferran in the 57' and was near of the discount minutes after his entry with a shot that left slightly high.

Franck Kessié

The marfileño ingresó by Pedri in the 68' and went the most active of the changes made by Xavi. In the 83', a finish his of half distance diverted in Fran García and served so that Lewandowski shortened distances, fishing the rebound of first with a stupendous volley. In spite of having few minutes, Kessié leaves clear that will struggle to remain in summer.

Eric García

It replaced to Frenkie to ten minutes for the end and returned to the position of pivote, where Xavi already tested him weeks before. His entry gave greater balance to a centre of the field of the Barça broken during the greater part of the complement.
