Match Analysis: Player Ratings from Barcelona vs Oviedo

**Joan Garcia (6/10):**
Although Oviedo displayed vibrancy on the counterattack and managed to generate a few promising shots, Barcelona’s goalkeeper remained largely unchallenged. He was present when called upon.

**Eric Garcia (6/10):**
Struggling with possession in the first half, his protective mask seemed to hinder his vision. However, he made crucial blocks in the second half.

**Pau Cubarsi (6/10):**
Barcelona’s defense appeared unsettled, with gaps opening far too easily. There was a clear need for someone to take charge of the backline, but that leadership was lacking.

**Gerard Martin (4/10):**
Booked within the first ten minutes for a reckless challenge, he was substituted at half-time to avoid the risk of receiving a second yellow card.

**Joao Cancelo (5/10):**
Tasked with playing as a left-back, he often pushed too far forward, creating vulnerabilities at the back. He was substituted before the hour mark.

**Marc Casado (6/10):**
It is evident why he is drawing interest from Manchester United; the Masia academy graduate remained composed and provided necessary protection in front of the defense.

**Frenkie de Jong (6/10):**
Consistently tidy in his play, he never truly seized control of the game but ensured that Oviedo remained at a distance, forcing them to seek alternative routes forward.

**Dani Olmo (7/10):**
Known for stepping up in critical moments, he did so again, scoring a decisive goal that alleviated the tension at Camp Nou as Flick’s side appeared somewhat blunt.

**Lamine Yamal (8/10):**
Although occasionally frustrated, he was consistently involved in the game. His diligent efforts led to the breakthrough, culminating in a spectacular acrobatic goal.

**Raphinha (7/10):**
After struggling to provide a finishing touch early on, having faced difficulties in midweek Champions League play, he demonstrated impressive composure to extend Barcelona’s lead to two goals.

**Robert Lewandowski (6/10):**
Still adept at finding the back of the net, he seemed slightly off the pace, missing several half-chances on a frustrating day.

**Jules Kounde (6/10):**
Entering the game at half-time, Barcelona appeared more stable in the second half, although Kounde had limited involvement in the play.

**Alejandro Balde (5/10):**
Given the opportunity to advance, he made a notable run into the box as Oviedo fatigued, but was unable to get a shot off.

**Fermin Lopez (5/10):**
After a promising midweek Champions League performance, he found himself on the bench against Oviedo and made little impact as a substitute.

**Roony Bardghji (5/10):**
Provided Yamal with a well-deserved breather, demonstrating eagerness to engage with the ball.

**Marc Bernal (5/10):**
Offered a brief appearance of just over ten minutes, making it challenging to leave a significant mark on the match.

**Hansi Flick (6/10):**
With an array of creative players at his disposal, they eventually influenced the game, allowing for strategic rests in the latter stages.
