Disastrous
Flick gave him the title in the Champions League ahead of Iñaki Peña and a few seconds later he conceded a goal with a point-blank shot in which he could do nothing. He made a too risky start and did not communicate with Balde in the second goal and caused the penalty for the third. He avoided the defeating goal in a one-on-one at the end of the game.
6Cautious
Less participatory than in the last games. Benfica looked for their back on some occasions, including the first goal. He had a very clear chance as soon as the second half began after a great pass from Pedri.
6Unlucky
More forceful than his teammates in duels, he missed some compromised passes with the ball. The fourth goal was scored as an own goal in an unfortunate action. He finished in the center in a defense of three.
6attacked
Benfica looked to do damage with crosses into their zone. He did not arrive in time to block the shot for the first goal and Aursnes also won the game and was about to score the second. He saved a goal in the second half and contributed to the ball.
6Bold
From the first moment he could be seen brave. He broke lines with his driving speed and did not stop joining the attack, forcing the penalty that led to Lewandowski’s goal. He didn’t communicate well with Szczesny on the second goal.
6Overwhelmed
The pace of the game and Barça’s continuous losses had him running up and down, unable to settle into the game. Every time he passed the ball to him he tried to give him some control. Substituted in the second half.
8Leader
Despite the blows that Barça received, they did not stop asking for the ball and were the ones with the most intention to cause danger with their passes and their drives. Several masterful passes in the second half, including two very good ones to Koundé and Lewandowski and an assist to Eric García.
6Lost
Little participation from the midfielder, who acted in a playmaker role and did not come into play much. He was about to score in a one-on-one after surprising with his arrival. Substituted in the second half.
8Samba
With hardly any news from the Brazilian in the first half and much of the game. He missed a clear chance, but found the goal in a surreal way after a bad serve from Trubin. He ended up being the hero of the match with a last-gasp goal to give Flick’s team the victory.
6Cunning
You could notice the respect that the opponent has for him every time he catches the ball. He was not as decisive as on other occasions, but he did not stop trying and forced a penalty in the second half.
7Scorer
He converted two penalties without hesitation and alternated good appearances with his back to goal with some unforced errors in some deliveries. Sometimes slows down some attacks too much.
6Concentrated
He provided more control with the ball in a crazy game. Sometimes he needed to risk something more, but he remained well placed at all times.
6Revolutionary
He came out to stir the hornets’ nest and managed to give Barça more mobility in the wide area of the field thanks to his intensity.
7Clue
He positioned himself as a right center back in a defense of three and was very active at all times. He fought, dared to go up and found the goal prize with an unappealable header.
6Pin
He barely appeared in the time he was on the field, but he gave the key pass for Raphinha’s winning goal.
S.C.Unrated
He came out in the last two minutes to act as a closure and delivered despite a compromised pass to Szczesny.
