Arsenal Vs Barcelona player ratings
Forwards
Robert Lewandowski (45 mins) – 6
Scored a goal in typical centre forward fashion and was a willing runner. Really didn’t have any other opportunities.
Raphinha (45 mins) – 6
Scored a free kick that took a huge deflection and had his shot saved leading to the first goal. Didn’t offer any protection for Dest who was struggling and had a few silly fouls.
Abde Ezzalzouli (45 mins) – 7
Won the ball back and carried it 50 yards before finding the cutback which directly led to the first goal. Very comfortable on the ball, controlled difficult passes well, showed strength to hold the ball up which led to Ben White getting booked.
Ousmane Dembele (45 mins) – 6
Always looked dangerous, had a few loose passes but also hit the post and ran at the Arsenal defense. He’ll never offer a ton of coverage at the back, but his ability going forward is what makes him special.
Ansu Fati (45 mins) – 6
Linked up well with Balde down the left, gave Ben White a lot of issues and showed a willingness to run at the defense. Confident on the ball and showed some confidence in his play.
"Ferran Torres (45 mins) – 6"
Scored a late goal on a very nice finish which should do his confidence the world of good. Outside of the goal it was a very uneventful game for Torres.
