#1 Marc Cuccurella passes Barcelona first-team test with flying colors
Marc Cucurella is currently on loan from Barcelona to Eibar. The left-back was loaned so as to get first-team minutes in the league and then return as a back-up for Jordi Alba. Cucurella started out as a wide midfielder against Real Madrid.

He was involved in all three goals heavily. Although he got only one assist to his name, the other two were taken away from him because it deflected off another player. Cucu did a great job in the wide areas in stretching the defense as well as passing with accuracy inside the box.
With today's performance against Real Madrid, he has proven that he can light up big games. Barcelona does not need to think twice before instating him for the first team. Dooming the Los Blancos is easier said than done and Cucurella helped his team do it today. Could this be the future in the El Clasicos? Who knows.
