Andres Iniesta was once again brilliant for Barcelona and had the game under his control in the first half. He was brilliant with the ball and dictated the game.

He masterminded the second and third goal for Barcelona.

One other player who deserves a mention here is Ousmane Dembele. The French international was given a start by Ernesto Valverde and he did not disappoint the manager with his first brace in Barcelona colors.

He created Coutinho’s goal early in the game and was threatening throughout the night with his pace on the flanks.

He grabbed a brace late in the game to cap his fine display. He scored his first from a close-range effort and his second was a brilliant solo goal.

He picked up the ball near the center circle and went 50 yards to chip it over Asenjo. With a lot more game time next season, he could do wonders for Barcelona.
