#2 Rafinha Alcantara
With Lionel Messi out injured, many people expected Ousmane Dembele to get more minutes and impress in the absence of the playmaker, but it was another star, Rafinha Alcantara, who benefited more from this great privilege.
The Barcelona midfielder who spent last season on loan at Inter Milan was given a rare start by Ernesto Valverde during a UEFA Champions League encounter against the Nerazzurri at the Nou Camp, and his performance couldn't have been better, as he ran riot and scored the opener in a 2-0 defeat of the Italian side.
Following his impressive display in the Champions League game, the versatile player was afforded more opportunities in the absence of Lionel Messi, and he was the one who occupied the Argentine's position on the right wing in Barcelona's last 2 LaLiga games which includes a 5-1 thrashing of Real Madrid in El Clasico.
