Gijon’s best was good enough

Sporting Gijon

Pichu Cuellar - 5/10

It will be harsh to criticise Pichu Cuellar for conceding the five goals as none were his fault. All the five strikes were too good to be stopped.

Lillo Castellano - 5/10

Lillo Castellano looked helpless in front of the aggressive Barcelona attackers. He remained ineffective in front of Suarez, Neymar and Arda Turan.

Jorge Mere - 6.5/10

Jorge Mere was one of the few Sporting players who had a decent outing against the mighty Barcelona team. Mere pulled off quite a few tackles and stopped some crucial moves.

Fernando Amorebieta - 7/10

Along with Mere, Fernando Amorebieta too did a fairly decent job in the Sporting defence. He was strong aerially and had managed to stop quite a few Barcelona moves.

Lora - 2/10

The full-back received two terrible yellow which saw him sent-off. His red card came as a huge blow for the team who went on to concede three more after his departure.

Moises Gomez - 4/10

Moises Gomes was completely ineffective on the flanks and did not contribute anything to the Sporting attack.

Nacho Cases - 4/10

The central midfielder failed to impose any kind of impact in the team's midfield which allowed the opponents move freely down the middle.

Sergio Alvarez - 4/10

Just like his counterpart Cases, Sergio Alvarez hardly had any presence in the Sporting central midfield. Both the players failed to provide any kind of resistance.

Victor Rodriguez Barcelona Gijon
Victor Rodriguez failed to create much for Gijon

Victor Rodriguez - 4/10

Victor Rodriguez, the number 10 of the Sporting side failed to create any positive opportunity for the striker and was terrible with his set-pieces too.

Duje Cop - 4/10

Just like any other attacking players of Sporting, Duje Cop had a terrible outing and failed to create any impact.

Burgui - 5.5/10

Burgui tried his best to create some chances on his own and looked dangerous in the second half. Unfortunately due to lack of support from the midfield he failed to create any impact.

Substitutes

Carlos Castro - 3/10

Carlos replaced an underperforming Duje Cop in the 68th minute but failed to make any impact as his side conceded three more goals in the latter stages.

Daniel Arnaud - 3/10

Arnaud replaced an ineffective Moises in the 68th minute. His presence was hardly felt in the last 20 minutes of the game.

Jean-Sylvain Babin - N/A
