Rakitic and Busquets were simply phenomenal on the night. Their passing was accurate and they enjoyed a lot of time on the ball. They read the game well and kept things ticking.

Rakitic's passing accuracy in the final third was very impressive (91%) and he rarely misplaced a pass. He capped his fine display with a goal for himself. He was left unmarked in the box and the Croatian headed it past Alvarez from 10 yards out into the top corner to seal the game 5-0.
Busquets too was quite impressive. He made 104 successful passes on the night and was assured on the ball. He made 4 well-timed tackles, in addition to 4 interceptions and 11 recoveries. A great midfield show by the experienced duo.
