Paulinho Messi Partnership. — Paulinho and Messi ran riot as Barca breezed past Eibar

Eibar

Dmitrovics: 6.5/10

Dmitrovics was helpless in goal and wasn't helped by his defence. Though he went the right way for Messi’s penalty, he was beaten for precision and could have done little about the other goals too. He did make a bunch of impressive saves throughout the match.

Arbilla: 4.5/10

One of many Eibar players who could not perform to their full potential. He struggled in defence as Denis looked quite threatening on his side of the pitch. He did not contribute much in attack too.

Oliviera: 4/10

A completely underwhelming performance as he was nowhere to be found for Barca's goals and then gave away the penalty with a rash challenge on Semedo. He would like to forget the night quite quickly.

Galvez: 4.5/10

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

Junca: 6/10

He did fairly well against Deulofeu and defended well in general, probably the best Eibar defender of the night. Offensively, he provided an amazing cross for Enrich’s goal.

Garcia: 5/10

Garcia 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 Messi and lost him several times.

Escalante: 5.5/10

Like his partner in the middle of the park, he too was exposed defensively by Messi and company (Paulinho??), who often just seemed to breeze past him. However, he did press energetically and was decent going forward too.

Capa: 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.

Jordan: 5/10

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

Inui: 4.5/10

This was again a game to forget for Inui, who has been one of Eibar'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 Eibar struggled to score.

Enrich: 6/10

Up against Spanish international Gerard Pique, he held up the ball well and showed a good range of distribution. But the service to him was not good enough as he struggled to make a major impact. However, he did keep working and was rewarded with a goal.
