Here’s how Barcelona’s players performed in the first half of the match against Real Madrid:

Mbappé – UNSTOPPABLE

On his first real opportunity, he fired a shot past the newly appointed goalkeeper without breaking a sweat. He didn’t seem as composed as he was in his first two games as a Barça player.

Koundé – EXEMPLARY

While he generally focused on defending his wing, he also delivered a brilliant curling pass that made it 3-1.

Cubarsí – ALERT

Against such a demanding attacking line, he played a solid first half, meeting the standards required at this level.

Iñigo Martínez – ZRAZONY

He suffered a muscle injury due to the frenetic pace of the first half and had to be replaced.

Bucket – PROTAGONIST

After a somewhat shaky start, he initially struggled to control the ball and close down Mbappé for the first goal. However, he quickly recovered and managed to beat Courtois with a powerful run just before the break.

Casadó – PERSISTENT

He lost the ball to Vinicius, which made it 1-0, which could have influenced the result of the match. Fortunately, he quickly rehabilitated himself, applying adequate pressure throughout the first half.

Pedri – EXPECTED

After his outstanding performance in the semi-final against Athletic, he was expected to be crucial for Barcelona in the final. Fortunately, the team didn’t rely too much on seeing his best self in a solid first half, as he contributed to the run to make it 4-1.

Gavi – INFLUENTIAL

His commitment and skills were visible. The academy graduate brought his renowned intensity and delivered a superb pass to Raphinha for almost a goal. He later scored a penalty to make it 1-2, past the careless Camavinga.

Raphinha – DESTRUCTOR

He was heavily involved in Barcelona’s early chances, forcing two saves from Courtois, but came from nowhere to score a fantastic header to make it 3-1 and assisted Balde’s goal to make it 4-1.

The brightest player of the first half showed Messi-like flashes even before his goal. He tested Courtois in the first minute.

Lewandowski – IMPORTANT

Even though he didn’t have any real shot opportunity until the penalty kick at 3-1, his intelligent assist to Lamine was crucial to the latter’s goal.

Araujo – URGENT

He was introduced after Iñigo Martínez was injured.
