Another black night in Europe for Barça, although with very different tones from other disasters but with the same ending. Few of Xavi’s players were saved in PSG’s rout, with Raphinha once again the best on his team, including a goal, the third of the tie on his own account.
He stopped as many as he could and some more, and still conceded four goals, one from a penalty. The last one came after two spectacular stops. Little more can be asked of him.
He will dream about Barcola and Fabián for a few days. He was not fine but he also missed help from his teammates. He tried to contribute in attack.
He originated the 1-0 play by filtering a pass since PSG floated him and let him build. But he arrived late for a race with Barcola and received a painful and rigorous red.
PSG’s offensive hurricane gave him the night but he held up like a veteran and was Barça’s best defender. One of those games that will make you grow.
In attack he became a continuous relief for Barça but in defense he made an inappropriate mistake, committing a very avoidable penalty to Dembélé.
He didn’t work as a midfielder and was outplayed again and again. In inferiority, his leadership was missed to give oxygen to Barça.
He had to destroy much more than build, a script that does not seem the best for the canary. But she emptied herself and lasted an hour on the green.
He went unnoticed in the first half but began to appear when things were looking worst for Barça. The post prevented his goal and protested a penalty.
In half an hour he had time to leave Nuno Mendes and give a goal pass to Raphinha. Araújo’s early expulsion landed him on the bench.
He had two clear chances, one for 2-0 that was high and another for 2-3 that was deflected by Donnarumma. She didn’t have the best night but she helped where he could.
He scored the first with his knee and was able to score the second after a great maneuver. He started on the left, switched to the right and ended up as a left back.
Too much PSG.
Things didn’t work out for him but he tried as hard as anyone.
It did not provide the usual revolutions.
It was the last resort to try the miracle and it didn’t work.
