FC Barcelona rather effortlessly dispose of RCD Mallorca as their final game at the Spotify Camp Nou ends in a 3-0 victory for La Blaugrana. In what was a fitting home farewell for both club and potentially a handful of players.
Here is how the players fared in Matchday 37 of La Liga Santander:
Player Ratings:
Marc-Andre Ter Stegen: 7.0
The German international had a solid outing and while he wasn’t brought into the picture to do much against a rather contained Mallorca attack, the keeper held his ground and maintained composure when he needed to.
Jordi Alba: 7.0
The veteran fullback had a cool night out. Apart from certain points where he was caught lacking for pace, the departing player had his presence be felt when creating solid chances for his Catalan teammates.
Andreas Christensen: 7.5
Solid in the back and rarely troubled during the game, the Danish central defender was secure in possession and dangerous in stopping most attacks that Mallorca managed to throw his way.
Jules Kounde: 7.0
With Ronald Araujo unavailable due to injury, Jules Kounde was slotted back to his more comfortable central defensive role in the backline and did a good job in keeping Mallorca at bay alongside partner Andreas Christensen.
Alejandro Balde: N/A
In what was looking like a promising start initially, Alejandro Balde was unfortunately injured quite early in the game and had to be replaced near the 17th-minute mark.
Sergio Busquets: 7.5
The captain had a strong outing for what will indefinitely be his final appearance as a Barcelona player. Constantly looked to thwart Mallorca whenever he could, whether as a creator or even if it meant taking a few shots at goal himself.
Frenkie De Jong: 7.0
The Dutchman was contained to a more passive approach for the game. His work rate and off-the-ball efforts were key in maintaining control and dominating as Barcelona managed to do this game.
Gavi: 9.0
The youngster was vital in initializing and even finishing off many of the chances that came Barcelona’s way. The golden boy winner provided the assist for Fati’s opener and also let loose an absolute ripper of a goal with his left foot in the 70th minute. Top performance.
Ansu Fati: 9.0
The player of the moment, opening the scoring with a first-minute goal and then completing his brace in the 24th minute. The young Spaniard was also looking much more dangerous following his first goal, as he trickled his way behind enemy lines and slithered his way through them when required, much more reminiscent of the Ansu Fati Barcelona fans came to love and enjoy prior to his injuries.
Robert Lewandowski: 8.0
Great hold-up plays from the Polish striker as he also managed to set up the goal for Ansu Fati’s second. Solid performance from the center forward.
Ousmane Dembele: 8.0
Kept making dizzying dribbles against the Mallorca defense, and the Frenchman also looked determined to score or assist a goal himself. The latter he managed by providing the assist for Gavi’s goal in the 70th minute.
Substitutes:
Raphinha: 6.0
Looked capable of damaging Mallorca at times but for the most part seemed ineffective in comparison to his French counterpart.
Sergi Roberto: 7.0
Replaced Balde early on in the game, the Spaniard had a decent outing in terms of keeping his defensive duties in mind while also providing an overlapping outlet to his teammates as often as possible.
Eric Garcia: N/A
Not enough influence or minutes on the pitch to warrant a rating.
Ferran Torres: N/A
Not enough influence or minutes on the pitch to warrant a rating.
Marcos Alonso: N/A
Not enough influence or minutes on the pitch to warrant a rating.
