Joan Garcia \u2013 6<\/h2>\n
Looked nervy on a couple of occasions, but on the whole, he had little to do \u2013 which he would have taken after a busy performance against Espanyol last weekend.<\/p>\n
Jules Kounde \u2013 6.5<\/h2>\n
Struggled defensively at times, and in attack, he was not as comfortable as he has been when Lamine Yamal has played.<\/p>\n
Eric Garcia \u2013 7<\/h2>\n
Pushed back into defence for this match, and as expected, he slotted seamlessly into his natural role.<\/p>\n
Pau Cubarsi\u00a0 \u2013 7<\/h2>\n
A professional performance from Cubarsi, although he and Eric will not be happy with some of the chances they allowed Athletic to have.<\/p>\n
Alejandro Balde \u2013 7<\/h2>\n
Good in attack, and he got a much-needed rest after being replaced in the 64th minute.<\/p>\n
Frenkie de Jong \u2013 7<\/h2>\n
Helped control the midfield alongside Pedri, which was the foundation of Barcelona\u2019s strong team performance.<\/p>\n
Pedri \u2013 7.5<\/h2>\n
Simply put, he makes Barcelona tick. He was missed from the start against Espanyol, but he made up for it here.<\/p>\n
Roony Bardghji \u2013 7<\/h2>\n
Barcelona have a very competent backup for Lamine Yamal in Bardghji, and it was another top display from the Swedish winger. His goal<\/a>, which came about due to an Unai Simon error, was deserved.<\/p>\n Missed a big chance early on, but it did not faze him. He teed up Ferran Torres soon after, before scoring Barcelona\u2019s second goal himself<\/a>.<\/p>\n As expected, he stood up and was counted in the absence of Lamine Yamal from the starting line-up. He set up Fermin\u2019s goal before helping himself to two of his own<\/a> either side of half time.<\/p>\n He loves playing Athletic this season. His goal<\/a> means that it is three in two appearances against Los Leones, as he justified Hansi Flick\u2019s decision to start him over Robert Lewandowski.<\/p>\n Got some minutes in his natural left-back position.<\/p>\n Looked very tidy at times during his cameo in the second half, but on just as many occasions, he gave away the ball or committed an error.<\/p>\n Tried his best to get on the scoresheet.<\/p>\n Helped Barcelona to keep control.<\/p>\n Not risked from the start, but in his limited minutes, he was heavily involved.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The post Barcelona player ratings against Athletic Club: Forwards step up in Saudi Arabia<\/a> appeared first on Football Espa\u00f1a<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Barcelona booked their place in Sunday\u2019s Spanish Supercup final, having dismantled Athletic Club at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, with goals…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4425,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4423"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4423"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4423\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4426,"href":"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4423\/revisions\/4426"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4425"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fermin Lopez \u2013 8<\/h2>\n
