Pablo De Blasis had a day to forget. He was run ragged by both Jordi Alba and Antoine Griezmann, who thrived on the left-hand side.

De Blasis wasn't helped by Fabian Orellana's refusal to track back and was often left isolated against a number of Barcelona attackers.

The Argentine was at fault for Barcelona's opener as his slip allowed Griezmann to have a free run at goal.

He was also wasteful with the ball, often coughing up possession when harried by the Barcelona front three.

Ultimately, it was a day to forget for De Blasis.

Impressed: Cote

Eibar's standout player on the day, José Ángel Valdés was a thorn in Barcelona's flesh, at least in the first half. He constantly bombed down the left-hand side and delivered sumptuous balls into the box for his strikers to attack.

Cote carved out a couple of great crosses in the first half, but unfortunately, Pedro Leon and Sergio Enrich were unable to make them count.

He also looked solid defensively, preventing Sergi Roberto and Lionel Messi from getting in behind.

While his level dipped in the second period, he remained one of Eibar's better players on the day.
