Barcelona: Rating players for the 2017/18 season

Barcelona v Girona - La Liga
Messi led Barcelona to a domestic double this season

#15 Thomas Vermaelen 5.5/10

Celta de Vigo v Barcelona - La Liga
Vermaelen's (right) Barcelona future is uncertain

The Belgian was never a regular in the Barcelona team ever since his move to the Camp Nou in 2014. He made 10 La Liga starts for the first time in his Barcelona career and was impressive on occasions. He was often injured and never looked like a player we saw at the Emirates.

#14 Nelson Semedo 6/10

The 24-year-old Portuguese international's debut season at Barcelona was marred by injuries. The right-back made only 23 starts for the Catalan giants this season. Though he was not as good as Jordi Alba going forward, he was solid at the back. Next season could very much define his Barcelona career.

#13 Paulinho 6/10

It raised many eyebrows when Ernesto Valverde signed the Brazilian for a huge fee (40 million euros). Though he started well, he fell off the grid in the middle of the season and never came back. He warmed the bench for the most part of 2018.

#12 Ousmane Dembele 6.5/10

Arrived at the Camp Nou with a huge hype, the Frenchman's 2017/18 campaign was a disappointing one. He was out injured most of the time and did not play to his potential. He made only 11 competitive starts for Barcelona this season. The £135.5 million man will have to do a lot better if he wishes to remain at the Camp Nou for a long time.

#11 Philippe Coutinho 7/10

Bought from Liverpool for a fee of £142 million, Coutinho did not disappoint. He took his time but adapted well in the last few weeks. The Brazilian scored 3 goals and assisted 5 more in 12 La Liga starts this season. Having settled at the Camp Nou, we could see the best of Coutinho next season.
