The FC Barcelona He graduated through the front door at the Santiago Bernabéu with a historic victory once morest a very weak Real Madrid. those of Xavi Hernandez they were tremendously superior to the madridistas from start to finish and ended up showing that superiority on the scoreboard with 0-4. All the culés footballers performed wonderfully and in ‘FCBN’ we have analyzed the performance of all of them one by one:
Ter Stegen: Spectator of luxury
The German goalkeeper did not have too much workoy the little he had he solved it perfectly. He was a luxury spectator at the exhibition of his team at the merengue stadium.
Ronald Araujo: Wall
The Uruguayan was resource that Xavi used to stop Vinicius and completed his mission excellently. The Brazilian worried him on occasion, but in most options the Uruguayan knew how to stop him. In attack he didn’t contribute anything, but he didn’t do anything wrong either.
Gerard Hammered: Perfect
The Catalan center-back lived very calmly without Karim Benzema and hardly had a job. He was good at the crossing and high, and also got the ball well played from behind. The leader of the Barcelona defense experienced another historic night at the Bernabéu.
Eric Garcia: Superb
The one from Martorell, harshly criticized in many moments of the season, completed a perfect meeting in all facets. He anticipated very well when he had to do it, with the ball he was just another midfielder and without a doubt he graduated ‘cum laude’ in one of the most complicated stadiums in the world.
Jordi Alba: Incombustible
The one from Hospitalet did not play his best game, but was at a remarkable level in Madrid. He did not suffer in defense, with the ball he was good and went up the band when he had to do it with danger and ambition.
Busquets: The lighthouse of Barça
Sergio was impressive at the Bernabéu and was the beacon of his team throughout the match. He stole a lot of balls in defense, he hardly lost balls, he knew how to find his teammates and remembered the best ‘Busi’ in many phases of the duel.
Pedri: In his line
The Canarian plays at 19 years old as if he were 30 and did not shrink once morest rivals of the entity of Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and Casemiro. It did not shine as much as on other nights, but it was sensational with and without the ball and was key for Barcelona to circulate the ball with intelligence and speed.
Frenkie de Jong: Great complement
He was not at a level as high as Busquets and Pedri, but he did his job perfectly. He sought to break lines with his usual unchecking, moved well between the lines, worked hard and was the perfect complement for Badia and Tegueste.
Ferran Torres: His big night
The Valencian portrayed Carvajal in the first part and ‘broke’ the game in the second. He scored a great goal and assisted Aubameyang in Barça’s fourth goal. Fast, intelligent, ‘fighty’… It was his first big night as a Barça player and it is expected that it will only be the first of many.
Ousmane Dembélé: Pure imbalance
The Frenchman did a lot of damage on the right and was key in Barcelona’s 1-0 with a great cross following a good drive once morest Nacho. The Frenchman beat the white defender at almost every moment and his team knew how to take advantage of it at all times.
Aubameyang: El MVP
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang he was the most decisive player in the blaugrana squad. The Gabonese continued his idyll with the goal and ended up making it 0-1 and 0-4 with a great header and a sublime ‘chop’ before Courtois left. In addition, the striker assisted Ferran with a great backheel. It was a nightmare for Madrid’s central defenders, especially in the second half, and he ended up showing off.
Gavi: Bully
The Andalusian came out with the meeting already decided and he just had to continue with the ‘dance’ keeping possession and fighting each ball.
Memphis Depay: It was not out of tune
The Dutchman came out in the 71st with 0-4 on the scoreboard for Aubameyang. He almost scored on a shot that Courtois covered well and tried whenever he had a chance.
