Hit: Maximilliano Gomez
Maxi Gomez, after tonight, as scored roughly 27% of his side's goal in La Liga this season. He has had a topsy turvy time since joining from Celta Vigo, but is finally starting to get into his stride in these past few months as he has been crucial in Valencia's hopes of getting in the Champions League again next season.

He was crucial tonight, bullying Pique and Umtiti with his presence in the box and dragging them away from their position, freeing up space for Ferran Torres & Carlos Soler to run in behind the Barcelona defense.
His penalty may have been saved by a defiant Ter-Stegen but he smashed the ball home the second time of asking as he was set up beautifully by Ferran Torres from the right wing, and the German could have done absolutely nothing about this one.
The Uruguayan has shown a great deal of resilience this season, absolutely bullying defenders and being crucial for his side even when he's not scoring. Tonight, his performance showed exactly why Barcelona and other top sides around Europe were vying for his signature last summer.
This man has a great career ahead of him if he can keep putting in consistent displays like this, and it won't be before long that he's leading the line for one of Europe's heavyweights.
