Sevilla 4-1 Barcelona player ratings: Marcus Rashford stars on devasting afternoon

Barcelona were condemned to a crushing defeat on Sunday afternoon, as they lost 4-1 to Sevilla. Here’s how their players fared at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan.

Player ratings

Wojciech Szczesny – 6.5

Could do little about Sevilla’s goals, and made a couple of very important saves that prevented the hosts from scoring more.

Jules Kounde – 5.5

Off day for the Frenchman, who particularly struggled in the first half.

Ronald Araujo – 5

Conceded the penalty that allowed Sevilla to open the scoring, before being taken off at half time.

Pau Cubarsi – 6

Got better as the game went on, but it was still a poor afternoon for the young defender, who continues looks nowhere near as comfortable without Inigo Martinez beside him.

Gerard Martin – 5.5

Another one that struggled in the first half, and was subsequently taken off at half time.

Frenkie de Jong – 6

Poor during Sevilla’s dominant spell in the first half, but was better in the second.

Pedri – 7.5

Not at his absolute best, but did provide an excellent assist for Marcus Rashford’s goal.

Marcus Rashford – 7.5

Barcelona’s bright spark, as he was against PSG. Scored a wonderful goal to bring it back to 2-1.

Dani Olmo – 5.5

Very quiet performance from Olmo, who continues to not be at his best.

Ferran Torres – 5.5

Another one that could not make an impact on proceedings.

Robert Lewandowski – 5.5

Could not make his mark. His performance was summed up by a costly penalty miss in the second half.

Substitutes

Eric Garcia – 7

Drove Barcelona on in the second half, proving once again why he is so counted on by Hansi Flick.

Alejandro Balde – 6.5

Good display, won the penalty that Lewandowski missed.

Roony Bardghji – 6.5

Looked lively during his cameo, but really should have scored at least one goal before Sevilla got their third.

Andreas Christensen – 6

Little time to make an impact after replacing de Jong late on.
