Lewandowski 8.0, Gavi 7.5 | Valencia 3-1 FC Barcelona: Player ratings | OneFootball

FC Barcelona end their La Liga campaign on a sour note, with a 3-1 loss to Valencia away from home. While there was nothing to fight for in this particular game, it would still have been a nice touch to end Robert Lewandowski’s final game with a win.

Speaking of the Polish veteran, he ended up getting a goal for himself in this match as a final gift to the team. Unfortunately, it was not enough to give Barcelona the win in this game and they end their league campaign with 94 points.

Here are the player ratings for Hansi Flick’s team.

Wojciech Szczesny: 6.5/10

Did well to come out of the box and catch a few shots that came his way. Unfortunately, he could not do much about the goals that he ended up conceding in the second half.

Eric Garcia: 8.0/10

Delivered a top performance and it was clear to see that Barcelona were struggling without him on the field. From his energy to his ability to contest for any duel in front of him, the Spaniard was crucial when he was on the pitch.

Ronald Araujo: 8.0/10

Delivered a top performance in the first half with some crucial blocks and interventions. Beyond that, his passing and progression with the ball was impressive as well. Unfortunately, he had to be replaced at the halfway mark.

Gerard Martin: 7.0/10

He looked solid for much of the game, especially with Ronald Araujo by his side. Ended up taking a blow to the head that required extensive treatment and a proper bandage as well, but continued to play after that and was reliable for much of the game except for the closing stages.

Alejandro Balde: 5.0/10

As promising as he looked in the first half, especially with nearly getting a goal for himself, Alejandro Balde’s second half disaster eclipsed most of his performance. Not the kind of display he needed here if he wants to show his worth to the coach.

Marc Bernal: 6.5/10

Had some promising moments, especially in the first half when it came to handling the ball under pressure, but was still ineffective in the grand scheme of things. Moreover, some of his challenges were risky and one of them could have even given away a penalty but he was fortunate in that situation.

Gavi: 7.5/10

His intensity and energy were both instrumental for Barcelona, and it was clear that he wanted to keep Valencia on their toes. Constantly competed for duels and made the opposition miserable, and one of his last-ditch tackles was potentially goal-saving.

Ferran Torres: 7.0/10

Looked sharp and was eager to make an impact on the game. It was his shot that accidentally ended up becoming an assist to help Robert Lewandowski score his goal in this game as well.

Dani Olmo: 6.0/10

Played well in between the tight spaces and looked to create something for himself and his teammates. Unfortunately, he was unable to do much during the game and ended up being rather quiet in terms of his final product.

Marcus Rashford: 5.5/10

Not exactly influential in this game, and a lot of his moments in the match ended up being quite frustrating. He looked threatening in transition, but most of the time it did not amount to much.

Robert Lewandowski: 8.0/10

In his last ever game for the Catalan giants, it was clear to see that the Polish ace wanted to end his stay at the club with a goal. Ultimately, he managed to get it and constantly thwarted the Valencia goal as well.

Substitutes:

Xavi Espart: 5.5/10

Had a decent outing in the second half when he came on but also committed a grave error that gave Valencia a goal in this game.

Andreas Christensen: 6.0/10

The Danish defender did well to compete for the ball whenever possible and almost managed to find the back of the net as well late in the game.

Frenkie de Jong: 6.5/10

Really efficient with his distribution and did well to connect the Barcelona players. However, in terms of creating attacking threats, he was unable to do much similar to Dani Olmo.

Joao Cancelo: N/A

Not enough time or influence on the pitch to warrant a rating.
