Barcelona welcomes Sevilla to Montjuic in the great game that opens matchday 8 in LaLiga EA Sports. After stumbling against Mallorca in the midweek, Xavi’s men are looking for three points against Mendilibar’s team to avoid falling out of the top zone of the standings.
At MARCA.com we analyze live the performance of all the players and the coach during the 90 minutes.
Ter Stegen. The German is starting to have a job. He deprived Rakitic and Lukebakio of the goal.
I cancel. He left Joao alone in the area with a brutal pass that the attacker sent to the woodwork and then left Raphinha alone in the play in which he was injured. He saw yellow in first-half stoppage time.
Koundé. The Frenchman returns to the starting position and in the position he likes the most, the center of the defense. He headed a corner well, but he failed to connect and send it between the three posts.
Christensen. Very attentive as usual and with a lot of work with Ocampos and Lukebakio, who are moving very well throughout the attacking front.
Bucket. A dagger from the left wing, although it was diluted a bit in the last minutes of the first half after a great start.
Gavi. He has saved with his chest under the sticks an almost called goal from Ocampos. Very active with and without the ball, positioned as a left interior.
Gündogan. Today, pivot. The German is in charge of initiating the release of the ball alongside the centre-backs and handles it with great discretion when he has the ball.
Raphinha. On the second clear occasion that he has had in his boots, he suffered a puncture and asked for a change after half an hour. He was playing inside on the right.
Lamine Yamal. He was about to score on the first play of the game, but he barely had the chance to start and face the way he likes.
João Félix. Hyperactive, he has touched the goal on two occasions. The second, very clear, sending a great pass from Cancelo to the crossbar.
Lewandowski. Little participation so far, although constantly offering inside to generate space on the sides.
Fermin. Shortly after entering the field he had the goal inside the area, but he did not resolve it well on the half turn. He came on after half an hour for Raphinha, who was injured.
Xavi. The Barça coach has opted for a very offensive eleven tonight, without a natural pivot and with four attackers. His first change was Fermín, thus rewarding his goal in Son Moix three days ago.
