4. Nelson Semedo making a statement with his performance
Signed last season from Benfica, Semedo took some time to gel into the Barcelona squad as he struggled with injuries last season which ended up with Sergi Roberto making the right-back spot his own.
This season though, Roberto's poor form and injury has given Semedo a chance to show his worth and he did that by putting in an amazing performance against Real Madrid last night. He won five tackles and had a 100% tackle completion last night and also completed six dribbles on the night, probably his best all-round performance in a Barcelona shirt thus far.
He also won 13 duels and combined well with Malcom down the right, although the pair haven't played together a lot.The duo linked up very well and caused trouble for Real Madrid down the left and left a player of Marcelo's calib exposed.
