La Liga 2017/18: Barcelona 3-0 Las Palmas, Player Ratings

Las Palmas

Chichizola was quite solid throughout the match.,

Leandro Chichizola: 7.5/10

He was a solid presence in goal for the Canary Islanders. He pulled off some fine saves but ultimately fell to some Messi magic and shoddy defending from his defenders. He could not have done anything about the goals conceded

Michel Macedo: 5.5/10

Although he was solid for the most of the game, it was his positional indiscipline which led to two Barcelona goals. On both occasions, he failed to step up in sync with his backline and played Leo Messi on.

Mauricio Lemos: 7/10

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

Ximo Navarro 6.5/10

Just like his defensive partner, Navarro was solid for the most part of the game. However, the gap in quality began to show up as the game progressed.

Borja Herrera 6/10

The fullback had a decent outing and defended reasonably well barring the opening few minutes. He stayed narrow and didn't really give much in attack. However, both Barca goals came from his side.

Hernan Santana 5/10

The midfielder was combative and very efficient in possession. He was intelligent in distribution and defended resolutely. However, he faded as the match wore on and was beaten too easily in the second half.

Alberto Aquilani 7/10

Aquilani had a decent game. Though he was not very influential in the second half, he came out on top in the midfield battle against Barca’s midfield during the initial 45 minutes. His distribution was efficient if not eye-catching.

Oussama Tannane 7/10

Tanane had a good game. He helped in the team's buildups and was a constant thorn for Barcelona's defence. His end-product led him down big time.

Jonathan Viera 7/10

Playing in the hole behind the striker, Viera was a constant thorn for FC Barcelona defence. His linkup play with his team's attackers was good. However, like his teammates, he too failed to show up in the second half.

Tana 6/10

Playing on the left side for Las Palmas' attack, he could not muster up much of a challenge for a makeshift right-back, Sergi Roberto. He was slow to react and was off the frequency on which his teammates played.

Calleri 7/10

He was crafty in possession, kept the ball in tight spaces and brought the much-needed urgency into Barca's game. He hit the post with a fine shot after Ter Stegen was completely beaten to it.
