The Brazilian had a lot on his platter on the night. Sergio Busquets wasn’t too impressive and was put under pressure by United. Arthur realized this and stepped in to ensure that Barcelona were never short in midfield.

The Brazilian was brilliant in the midfield and played his natural game with ease. He quietly took control of the midfield and also managed to stay away from any attention from United.

Arthur was very good at tight places as United closed him down. He kept the ball moving and ensured that the forward men were never short of supply. He skipped past challenges, switched play and dictated the tempo of the game. And he did everything in his easy, languid style.

The Brazilian was also vital in tracking back and defending and was always around when needed. United had no answer to Arthur, who helped Barcelona win the game.
