Atletico Madrid Player Ratings

Atletico Madrid were robust against Barcelona

Jan Oblak - 8.5/10

Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak was arguably the best player on the pitch against Barcelona and pulled off a stunning save from Lionel Messi in the first half. The Slovenian star also managed impressive blocks towards the end of the game and earned his side a point.

Felipe - 7.5/10

Felipe had an excellent outing against Barcelona and was often his side's last line of defence against the Catalans. The centre-back did have a few problems against Lionel Messi but managed to hold his ground.

Stefan Savic - 7/10

Stefan Savic did a number of his former teammate Antoine Griezmann and kept the Frenchman quiet for most of the game. The defender was impressive with his clearances and helped his defence with some vital blocks.

Mario Hermoso - 6.5/10

Mario Hermoso faced his fair share of problems against Sergino Dest and was beaten for pace on a few occasions. The full-back was able to recover, however, and did manage a few runs of his own in the final third.

Kieran Trippier - 7/10

Kieran Trippier had an intriguing duel with Jordi Alba and managed to get the better of his counterpart in the first half. The Englishman's influence waned towards the end of the game but his contributions did manage to keep Barcelona's attacks at bay.

Koke - 7/10

Koke went about his job in typical fashion against Barcelona and ensured that Atletico Madrid were in the contest. The Spaniard picked up a late yellow card but did manage to hinder Lionel Messi's progress into the final third.

Marcos Llorente - 6.5/10

Marcos Llorente was a thorn in Barcelona's side and his pace and poise proved an asset to Atletico Madrid's attacks throughout the game. Llorente did not see much of the ball in the second half but did manage to create a few chances for his teammates.

Thomas Lemar - 6/10

Thomas Lemar was an enterprising presence for Atletico Madrid and did force Ter Stegen into a save during his short stay on the pitch. The Frenchman pulled his hamstring only 10 minutes into the game and was replaced by Saul Niguez.

Yannick Carrasco - 7/10

After a relatively quiet start as a wing-back, Yannick Carrasco stepped up towards the end of the first half and tormented Barcelona with his pace. The Belgian was unable to get the better of Araujo after the hour-mark but was one of his side's most dangerous attacking players.

Angel Correa - 6.5/10

Angel Correa was a vital cog in Atletico Madrid's attacking play and excelled in his creative role. The Argentine led his side's high press and was replaced by Geoffrey Kondogbia towards the end of the game.

Luis Suarez - 6.5/10

Luis Suarez has improved considerably under Diego Simeone and was out for blood against Barcelona. The Uruguayan's return to the Camp Nou did produce a few memorable moments but was unable to yield a goal.

Substitutes

Atletico Madrid used their squad depth against Barcelona

Saul Niguez - 6/10

Saul Niguez had the unenviable task of keeping tabs on Barcelona captain Lionel Messi and picked up a yellow card in the process. The Spanish midfielder was replaced by Joao Felix at the hour-mark as Atletico Madrid looked for their winner.

Joao Felix - 6.5/10

Joao Felix was a threat on the counter for Atletico Madrid and gave Gerard Pique a few problems towards the end of the game. The Portuguese forward is a shade off his best, however, and was unable to win the game for his side.

Geoffrey Kondogbia - 5.5/10

Geoffrey Kondogbia was Atletico Madrid's weak link in the final minutes of the game and struggled against Lionel Messi. The midfielder conceded a dangerous free-kick to the Argentine but did manage an impressive run into Barcelona's half.
