#1 Hit: Victor Diaz
![Diaz's positioning was regularly impressive, keeping Griezmann and substitute Fati at bay for large periods](https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/09/ec03e-15691231548997-800.jpg?w=190 190w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/09/ec03e-15691231548997-800.jpg?w=720 720w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/09/ec03e-15691231548997-800.jpg?w=640 640w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/09/ec03e-15691231548997-800.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/09/ec03e-15691231548997-800.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/09/ec03e-15691231548997-800.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/09/ec03e-15691231548997-800.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https://statico.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/09/ec03e-15691231548997-800.jpg 1920w)
With that in mind though, there was only one player better over the 90 minutes: captain Victor Diaz. Regardless of their stuttering form, it's difficult to keep a clean sheet against a Barcelona side stacked in attack and boasting quality across the pitch, but the 31-year-old was again integral as they kept their fourth successive clean sheet this campaign.
The fullback completed six of nine duels contested, four tackles, two interceptions, one block and successful dribble over the 90 minutes. Although his passing wasn't particularly accurate (64%) and he lost possession twelve times, maintaining concentration was key throughout as he defended patiently while forcing mistakes from Griezmann and co down the left-hand side.
Dealing with a different challenge up against Ansu Fati after the interval, he remained disciplined with his positioning while regularly looking to force the teenager either out wide or into conservative passes infield - thus lessening his impact on a match where he would've hoped for more from in the second half. Fati only completed two of his five attempted dribbles, while losing possession on seven occasions as a result. A job well done.
