Barcelona lost out to Paris Saint-Germain in their eagerly-anticipated Champions League clash at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys. Here’s how their players fared in Montjuic.
Player ratings
Wojciech Szczesny – 6
Not entirely convincing, but could do little about PSG’s two goals.
Jules Kounde – 6.5
Good first half, but like many of his teammates, struggled massively in the second.
Eric Garcia – 7
Barcelona’s best defender, and it is perhaps no surprise that PSG scored their second goal after he came off with a knock.

Pau Cubarsi – 6.5
Made a couple of important challenges, but aside of that, not at his best.
Gerard Martin – 6
Struggled to deal with Bradley Barcola at times.
Frenkie de Jong – 6
A disappointing performance from de Jong after a fantastic run of form. He struggled to gain control of the midfield in the second period, as he was bested by the likes of Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz.
Pedri – 7
Good performance from Pedri, who was withdrawn earlier than usual by Hansi Flick.
Lamine Yamal – 7
Fantastic in the first half, but very quiet in the second – understandable given that he is returning from injury.
Dani Olmo – 6
Still struggling with consistency. He was poor here, summed up by a big miss in the second half that would have put Barcelona 2-1 up.
Marcus Rashford – 7.5
A constant menace to the PSG backline. He provided the assist for Barcelona’s goal.
Ferran Torres – 6.5
Scored, but also missed a big chance minutes before. Aside of those moments, he was quiet.

Substitutes
Alejandro Balde – 6
Barcelona will be delighted to have him back from injury, although he was sluggish in his cameo – as to be expected, given he hasn’t played for several weeks.
Marc Casado – 6
Got himself about, albeit without much success.
Robert Lewandowski – 6
Didn’t have a sniff after coming on.
Marc Bernal – 6
Didn’t do much during his 15 minutes on the pitch.
Andreas Christensen – 6
Little time to make an impact, although PSG did score after he came on.
