El Clasico 2016/17: Real Madrid 2-3 Barcelona - The Best & Worst Players

Messi Ramos
The best and the worst!

Best Player: Ivan Rakitic

Ivan Rakitic
What a night to resurrect your career

A lot has been said about Ivan Rakitic and how the midfield maestro has been off the pace this season. However, last night was a night of redemption for the Croatian and if not for some superb goalkeeping and some absolutely shambolic shooting, Rakitic could have easily finished the game with 3 assists.

The 28-year-old did get on the scoresheet with a rocket of a shot from the edge of the box after successfully selling a dummy to Toni Kroos. With Messi dropping deep to orchestrate the game, Rakitic played as an auxiliary winger and to good effect at that.
