Barcelona will kick himself after he has not been able to take advantage of Milan for the second stage of their Champions League-Half Final against Inter, despite the score of three goals. This is how the Blaugrana players did individually.
Not in default for one of the goals, although it seemed slowly to the second goal of Denzel Dumfries. He was lucky that it was not -accessible goal of Inter offside, because the ball was there to intercept him. Besides that, no real saves to make.
For the most part, solid to his injury after 40 minutes, and Barcelona missed him after he left. Work well with Lamine Yamal on the right, and their chemistry was also striking because of its absence.
Always difficult to evaluate defenders when a whole system is struggling, but it is true that he was caught a few times and told that Hansi Flick withdrew him for Andreas Christensen, who has not played since August.
Lax about the opening goal for Marcus Thuram, and was consistently the deepest defender in the second half despite being the left. Maybe hard because he was out of position, but Martinez struggled to make a lot of difference after the first half of Gerard Martin.
Struggled in the first half and was withdrawn by film during the break. Martin is not very good at home in the offside trap and could not keep up with Dumfries.
The Dutchman is constantly criticized for his work of the ball, but De Jong was always in the right place today. Barcelona struggled defensively, but it would have been much worse if De Jong had not chased loose runners throughout the game. Nice on the ball.
Lost part of his influence after the hourly trip, but remains one of the few in the world who can do what he does. His ball for Raphinha was perfect in the goal of Ferran Torres. Unsfutable in his run, another good day, even if his impact decreased as the game progressed.
Olmo had a few magical accents in the first half, but the reason that Flick first sacrificed him from midfield was his involvement all too volatile. The center of the field was overloaded in the first half and he could not feel his presence before he could not defend the corner in the third inter -goal.
Which selection of adjectives would you like? They are all warm, admiring to Lamine Yamal, who was the best player on the field remotely. Scored a magical goal when Barcelona was the most needed, twice the woodwork hit and was involved in everything that was good for the Blaugrana.
Maybe hard when he got his goal, but asked an excellent chance. The impact of Torres at the game as a whole is increasingly limited. While fatigue begins, he has been less able to offer the cracking runs that made him so effective this season.
Even if it was its own goal, Raphinha's strike earned the honor for the third of Barcelona. The Brazilian was in and out of the game, but his contributions in the box were vital, and his header made it a simple task for Torres to type in his goal. Bad luck that some passes from Lamine Yamal did not fall for him.
Pass traces for Eric Garcia, who did well on the ball and was aggressive without. Since he was out of position to a certain extent, Garcia remains an asset to this Barcelona team.
Araujo has been heavily criticized in recent months and he was not the biggest problem for this Barcelona team in the second half. However, the degree of uncertainty and organization decreases when it is on the field. An excellent challenge to cut a pass that was on its way to an opportunity.
His usual chippy himself in midfield, constantly on the heels of his opponents. Fermin, however, did not succeed much more than Olmo and noticed that he was thrown away in the middle of the field.
A few minutes to make an impact, but was neat and tidy on the ball.
Correctly placed for the most part in his ten minutes on the field. Nice that he receives his first minutes since the second game of the Barcelona season.
