Barcelona
Marc-Andre Ter Stegen: 6.5/10
He was not tested much, except for a few shots that were aimed directly at him. He commanded his area well and in general looked calm under pressure and distributed the ball accurately and sensibly.
Nelson Semedo: 8/10
The Portuguese right-back was solid in defence and ever willing to join the attack whenever called upon. His passing was crisp and he made a few interesting runs on the right flank for Barcelona.
Gerard Pique: 8/10
Pique had a great game as he dominated and won everything that came his way in the air. He won headers, made blocks and clearances and was a calm head in the heart of the Barcelona defence. He marshalled Willian Jose and company expertly and never allowed him even an inch of space.
Yerry Mina: 7/10
The Colombian put in a good performance as he was constantly in the way of Juanmi and company, keeping them at bay for the majority of the game. He made a string of important interceptions and tackles throughout the game. He needs to improve his ball playing skills though, a lot.
Jordi Alba: 7/10
Alba put in a good shift at the left back position for the Blaugrana. He was solid enough in defence and was always available for a pass on Baca's left flank.
Philipe Coutinho: 7.5/10
The Brazillian scored another long-ranger tonight, a common sight this season. Though he was a bit silent towards the end of the first half, he was absolutely unplayable in the second half.
Sergio Busquets: 8/10
Another typical Busquets performance. He shielded the back four, broke up play and played the role of a deep-lying playmaker.
Ivan Rakitic: 7.5/10
The Croatian International was influential throughout the game. He broke plays and started attacks from his own half. This was a good commanding display from him in the middle of the park.
Iniesta: 8/10
The World Cup winner looked sharp and dictated things for Barcelona from the midfield. His turns and touches were delightful to watch and suggested that he may have a few years worth of top-level football in his tank.
Luis Suarez: 6/10
Luis Suarez looked dangerous with the ball but his finishing radar was quite off. He was involved in the build-ups and looked sharp. He often dropped deep to help his midfield and combined well with his teams mates.
Ousmane Dembele: 8/10
He started on the right-hand side of Barcelona's front three and combined well with Nelson Semedo. He looked sharp on occasion and had a great first half. He had to be taken off in the second half due to a slight knock on his ankle.
Substitutes
Denis Suarez: 6.5/10
This was a decent game from the resurgent midfielder. He did not do much of note but kept things tidy and defended well with the team when required.
Lionel Messi: 7/10
Once he came on the pitch, Barcelona took total control of the game. However, for all his efforts, Barcelona could not break Las Palmas' resolve.
Paco Alcacer: N/A
Late substitution, did not have time to affect the game.
