FC Barcelona Player Ratings: 0-1 win in Portugal

Forwards

Lamine Yamal – 8/10

The youngster takes every opportunity he can to show his talent. Tonight, he didn’t have any of his usual, and understandable, rookie mistakes. Every time he touched the ball, he made good decisions. He used the threat of his shot very well to make some good passes into the box, and looked dangerous on the right side. He received a few passes from Gundo and Cancelo especially. It seems the veterans trust him quite a bit, which is very telling.

Lewandowski – 6/10

Wasn’t very involved in this one before he was forced off with an injury off a questionable tackle. In the first part of the first half, the ball wasn’t able to reach him much, as Barça couldn’t play out effectively from the back. He was replaced by Ferran.

Félix – 8/10

Very good from him. On a night where he was booed relentlessly every time he touched the ball, he was one of Barça’s few bright spots in the first half. He had a few shots, and seemed eager to score. The Portuguese winger was lively, taking on defenders and trying to make things happen. He was simply unlucky, as the ball took a few deflections. He also had a shot saved. His connection with Ferran was very good as well, as they almost pulled off several nice plays.

Ferran – 6/10

Ferran did score the game’s only goal, which was a cool finish under the keeper’s leg. But apart from that, he really didn’t do anything. Not exactly through any fault of his own, but he was mostly invisible after scoring. He didn’t receive much service, though, same as Lewandowski.
