Iñaki Peña: Enlarged.
As soon as the game started, he made a big splash against Munir to avoid a 0-1 draw. There was nothing he could do about Sergio González’s great goal in the following action.
Koundé: Willful.
He tried to be deep, but he was not very successful in his centers. He was better defending.
Eric Garcia: Reappeared.
The Martorell center back, who returned to the eleven two months later, was attentive in the cuts.
Iñigo Martínez: Clueless.
Perhaps due to the change of partner in the axis, the Basque was not as in tune as he usually does. He slipped in the Leganés goal.
Bucket: Centennial.
Unlike Koundé, the youth player, who has made 100 appearances for Barça, was better in attack than in defense. From his boots came a cross that Raphinha ended up hitting the crossbar.
Casadó: Impeccable.
The youth player was one of the best for Barça in the first half. He cut balls as always and made some very worthwhile deep passes.
Pedri: Covered.
Although he tried to connect with his attacking partners and left some quality detail such as a backheel, the Canary Islander found himself with a spider web to serve passes.
Lamine Yamal: Headdress.
A hard tackle by Neyou on the right ankle made him play decimated throughout the first half.
Dani Olmo: Out of tune.
He tried everything, but he was not successful in the first part. He tried a couple of shots, but didn’t find a goal.
Raphinha: Leader.
He was the one who put the most will and pushed his teammates in search of the goal. He ran into Dmitrovic after a great shot from Balde’s center, which ended up hitting the crossbar.
Lewandowski: Failed.
The Pichichi had two chances, but could not achieve either. First he ran into Dmitrovic and then finished weakly.
