Matteo Darmian – 6/10
The newly-acquired full-back made his presence felt in the match with a foul drawn and some good positioning at times. The Darmian-Van Gaal relationship looks like it will get better with time.
Juan Mata – 7/10
With a foul drawn but nothing else of significance, Barcelona didn’t pay much attention to Mata.
Memphis Depay – 7/10
Phenomenal passing by the newly-acquired Depay made it impossible for Barcelona to keep up in the first half. The four conceded fouls were a problem though and it leveled out what would’ve otherwise been a stellar score.
Michael Carrick – 7/10
A blank stat sheet tells the story as Carrick was mostly avoided during the contest. Passing was metronomic as ever.
