FC Barcelona Player Ratings vs Real Oviedo

Check out Sportsdunia's Barcelona player ratings from the La Liga fixture:

Goalkeeper

Joan García - 7.0: Had very little to do for most of the match, a testament to his team's control. Made a couple of important saves when called upon in the first half. What we noticed was his calm distribution, with a 95% pass accuracy. A quiet but solid day at the office.

Defenders

João Cancelo - 6.5: A mixed bag from Cancelo before being substituted. He was a willing runner and got into advanced positions but lost possession a few too many times for our liking. He did his defensive duties adequately but wasn't at his scintillating best. We felt the substitution was probably the right call.

Pau Cubarsí - 8.0: Simply sensational. A 99% pass accuracy is just ridiculous for a center-back. He was composed, won all of his duels, and made crucial interceptions. From our perspective, he is a generational talent, reading the game years ahead of his age. Didn't put a foot wrong.

Eric García - 7.5: A very busy and effective performance. He had a massive 108 touches, showing how involved he was in building play from the back. Defensively solid, winning most of his duels and making important tackles. His long passing was also a key feature of Barça's attacks.

Gerard Martín - 6.0: Only played the first half and picked up an early yellow card which seemed to restrain him. He was tidy in possession but didn't offer much of an overlap. A fairly standard, if unspectacular, 45 minutes before being hooked at halftime.

Midfielders

Lamine Yamal - 8.5: Another dazzling display from the youngster. Scored a well-taken goal and was a constant menace with his dribbling and creativity, creating four chances. He did lose the ball a bit, but that's what happens when you try to make things happen. An exciting and decisive performance.

Raphinha - 8.0: Really came alive in the second half. His goal was a superb strike from distance that gave the keeper no chance. He created four chances and was a nightmare for the Oviedo defence before his substitution. A very impactful hour of football.

Marc Casadó - 7.0: A steady and reliable presence in the midfield engine room. He kept the ball moving with a high volume of passes and worked hard to recover possession. What we saw was a disciplined performance that allowed the more creative players to flourish ahead of him.

Dani Olmo - 9.0: The undisputed star of the show. He broke the deadlock with a clever finish and then provided the assist for Yamal's goal. His movement and intelligence were on another level. We felt he was the one who truly unlocked the game for Barcelona. Our highest-rated player and a worthy Man of the Match.

Frenkie de Jong - 7.5: The captain led by example. Glided through the midfield with his trademark elegance and control. His passing was crisp and progressive, and he worked tirelessly off the ball. A classy and commanding performance that knitted everything together for his team.

Forwards

Robert Lewandowski - 6.0: A frustrating night for the Polish striker. He missed a couple of big chances that you'd normally expect him to bury. His link-up play was okay, but he just couldn't find his shooting boots. From our perspective, he looked a little off the pace, which is a rare sight.

Substitutes

Jules Koundé - 7.0: Came on at halftime and helped solidify the backline, contributing to the clean sheet. Looked comfortable and assured.

Fermín López - 6.5: Brought energy and direct running after replacing Raphinha. Didn't have a decisive impact but kept the pressure on.

Alejandro Balde - 6.5: Provided fresh legs at left-back and was solid defensively. Got forward a couple of times to support the attack.

Marc Bernal - N/A: Came on late with the game already won.

Roony Bardghji - N/A: Not enough time to make a significant impact.

Manager

H. Flick - 8.0: His halftime adjustments clearly worked wonders. Barcelona looked like a different team in the second half, playing with much more intensity and speed. His substitutions were well-timed, keeping the team fresh and maintaining control. A great tactical victory.

Real Oviedo Player Ratings vs FC Barcelona

Let's take a look at Real Oviedo player ratings from the Barcelona vs Oviedo game:

Goalkeeper

Aarón Escandell - 6.0: It's tough for a keeper who concedes three goals. However, he also made three saves, including a great stop to deny Yamal. He couldn't do much about the goals, which were all well-placed shots. A difficult but not disastrous evening.

Defenders

David Costas - 5.0: A performance to forget for the captain. The 'Error Lead To Goal' stat says it all. He looked shaky throughout the second half and was caught out of position. The yellow card in the first half didn't help his cause either. A very tough night.

David Carmo - 5.5: Like his central defensive partner, he was credited with an error leading to a goal. He struggled to contain Barcelona's fluid attack after the break. Before the goals, he had been relatively solid, but the second half was a different story.

Lucas Ahijado - 6.5: One of Oviedo's better performers, surprisingly. He won an incredible 9 out of 10 duels and made 7 tackles. He fought hard and showed real commitment down the right flank before being substituted. A battling display.

Javi López - 5.5: A very difficult assignment against Barcelona's tricky wingers. He was constantly drawn into fouls, committing five of them. He won a decent number of duels but also lost possession far too often. It was a real struggle for him.

Midfielders

Alberto Reina - 6.0: Looked decent in the first half, creating a couple of chances and keeping possession ticking over. However, he faded completely as Barcelona took control of the midfield. He was largely anonymous in the second half before being subbed off.

Kwasi Sibo - 5.5: Worked hard but was ultimately overrun. He struggled to get a foothold in the game, and his passing was not incisive enough. He was chasing shadows for large parts of the second half. A thankless task for him today.

Ilyas Chaira - 6.0: Looked like Oviedo's most likely source of a goal in the first half, getting a shot on target. He was caught offside three times, which killed some promising moves. His influence waned significantly as the game went on.

Haissem Hassan - 6.5: Another player who showed some bright sparks. He was positive, attempting dribbles and getting shots away. Forced a good save from the Barça keeper in the first half. He kept trying even when the game was lost, which we can appreciate.

Santiago Colombatto - 5.5: A quiet and ineffective display. He struggled to make any impact on the game, with a low pass completion rate. He was bypassed too easily in midfield and offered little in attack or defence before his substitution.

Forwards

Federico Viñas - 5.0: Completely isolated and starved of service. He won only one of his nine duels and lost possession frequently. It was a thankless task for him, as he had absolutely nothing to work with. A very frustrating outing.

Substitutes

Nicolás Fonseca - 5.5: Came on when the game was already slipping away and couldn't change the tide.

Nacho Vidal - 6.0: Looked steady enough after coming on but the damage was already done.

Thiago Borbas - N/A: Little time to make an impact.

Santi Cazorla - N/A: A late cameo in a losing cause.

Josip Brekalo - N/A: Brought on for the final few minutes.

Manager

J. Almada Álves - 5.0: His team held firm for 45 minutes, which was commendable. However, they completely collapsed after the first goal. There seemed to be no Plan B once they went behind, and his side was picked apart with ease. A difficult day at the office for the gaffer.

Man of the Match

Barcelona's Dani Olmo was Sportsdunia's player of the match.

Worst Performer

David Costas failed to influence the away game for Real Oviedo.
