#2 Arthur Melo
Many have regarded the Brazilian as the heir to Xavi Hernandez following the 22-year-old's move to Camp Nou. Bought for €31 million in 2018, Arthur has established himself as one of Barcelona's important players. He also garnered praise when he stood out against Tottenham Hotspur at the Champions League group stage.
However, his impact at Barcelona has gradually declined following Arturo Vidal's recent impressive display. He did not do enough to justify his selection ahead of Vidal at Copa del Rey final as the former Gremio star failed to make any meaningful impact throughout the game.
He did not make any defensive contribution and registered zero key passes for his teammate. He also got dispossessed several times due to his slow and predictable movements. Valverde seemed to have fed up of his uninspiring display and eventually replaced the starlet at the 46th minute.
