Barcelona v Real Murcia - Copa Del Rey
Nelson Semedo was the best player on the night for the Catalan giants

Nelson Semedo was the best Barcelona player on display at the Estadio de Balaidos. He literally owned the right flank and produced a stunning display on Thursday.

In the 8th minute of the game, he made a brilliant challenge to stop Iago Aspas from taking a clear shot on goal. He showed a lot of pace on the night as he ran back and form tirelessly on the right flank.

Late in the first half, he made a couple of brilliant tackles to stop Jonny and Sisto. He was solid throughout the game and made 6 successful tackles, most by a player on the night.

His contributions did not stop with that. He was a creative force for Barcelona and also made some brilliant crosses. He created 3 good chances but Suarez and Sergi Roberto failed to capitalize on them. Overall, an eye-catching display from the 24-year-old Portuguese defender.

Meanwhile, Pione Sisto continued his good start to the season with a brilliant performance. The Danish left winger was lively throughout the night and capped his stunning show with an all-important goal.
