Gavi - 10
A goal and two assists from the 18-year-old tonight and a work rate even N'Golo Kante would be proud of!
The Barcelona youngster had to play in a hybrid winger-midfielder position and he excelled at it, proving deadly in the box and tireless in pressing and defence.
The Pole assisted Gavi's goal and then doubled the lead minutes later with a timely run into the box. Robert also gave the pre-assist to our third goal, showcasing that Lewa's -- thanks to his smart movement and passing -- is much more than not a poacher.
Pedri - 9
Creative in attack, calm on the ball and a tireless soul in defence. Pedri is just too good for his age, bossing veterans Toni Kroos and Luka Modric tonight.
The 19-year-old's goal shows that Pedri listens to Xavi and works on his weak points.
Sergio Busquets - 8.5
Not quite the vintage Busquets performance but a great outing nonetheless. The first goal wouldn't have happened without Sergio, and the Catalans wouldn't have controlled the match the way they did without Busi's passes, turns and interceptions.
Alejandro Balde - 8.5
Balde should've buried that rebound early in the first half but that doesn't take away from him the overall solid performance from the 19-year-old. Alejandro's speed, composer and positional awareness made him unbeatable in defence. And he could've ended with an assist had Dembouz converted his one-on-one.
Others: Ter Stegen 7, Araujo 8.5, Kounde 7.5, Christensen 7.5, De Jong 8.5, Dembele 7.5, Raphinha 6.5, Ansu Fati n/a, Garcia n/a, Roberto n/a, Kessie n/a.
