Barcelona 5-0 Real Murcia - Player Ratings

Real Murcia

Barcelona v Real Murcia - Copa Del Rey

Alejandro Santome - 5/10

While Santome did make a few great saves and blocks throughout the match, this was definitely not his best performance. He should have probably saved the goals he conceded against Arnaiz.

Federico Vega - 4.5/10

Though he started well, he faded as the match wore on. He did not trouble Digne much and did not quite track the runs of Digne, who looked dangerous. He should be disappointed as to how things turned out.

Adrian Melgar - 4/10

He struggled in defence as Barca looked quite threatening on his side of the pitch. Deulofeu constantly ran at him with pace as he was more likely to lose the duel. His poor clearance led to Barcelona's first goal.

Pedro Orfila - 4.5/10

Unlike his centre-back partner, Orfila had a miserable performance at the heart of La Real’s defence. He was left for dead by Alcacer throughout the match and never really could mark him. He did make a few important interceptions and tackles

David Mateos - 5/10

He was probably better of the two fullbacks for Real Murcia. He defended reasonably well against Vidal but was never convincing. Attacking, his contribution was minimal, almost negligible.

Juanma Bravo - 6.5/10

Mateos put in a good performance as he was constantly in the way of Alcacer and company, keeping them at bay for the majority of the game. He made a string of important interceptions and tackles to keep Murcia in the game.

Nadjib Mengoud - 4.5/10

Nadjib worked hard tirelessly but could not get better of Mascherano or Vermaelen. His decision making was quite erratic and he never could get in any decent attacking positions.

David Sanchez - 6/10

Sanchez put in a decent display in the midfield as he screened his defence to some extent and also distributed the ball intelligently. However, he struggled against Suarez and lost him several times.

Fernando Llorente - 5.5/10

The central attacking midfielder was fairly anonymous and was effectively marked out of the game by Barcelona's midfielders. He will look forward to improving his performance after a tough outing.

Abel Molinero - 6/10

He was the liveliest of Real Murcia's attackers and used his pace well to trouble Barcelona defenders on the odd counter attacks. However, for all his pace, the lack of quality was quite apparent.

Renato - 4/10

This was again a game to forget for Eladio, who has been one of Murcia's better player this season, barring this fixture. He struggled to cause too many problems and his final passes were poor. He failed to provide any end product as Murcia struggled to score.

Substitutes:

Armando Ortiz - 5/10

Came on for Mateos, but he did not fare much better. He too sat back like his predecessor and tried to the best of his abilities to stop the constant wave after wave of Barcelona attacks.

Pedro Martin - 6/10

Brought on for Molinero, he was a real nuisance but was not able to bag a goal. A good performance which gave Murcia some hope.

Santiago Jara - 5/10

Brought on for David Sanchez after the match, as well as the tie, was effectively over. He did, however, put in a decent enough performance, but certainly, it was not enough for Real Murcia as they conceded two more goals.
