Martin BraIthwaite (Dembele 82’) – N/A. Provided some decent link up play but didn’t offer anything spectacular.

BARCELONA RATINGS: Marc-Andre ter Stegen - 6. Had an injury scare in the warm-up but wasn’t tested much in the game. Got away with a really poor ball. Getty
Oscar Mingueza - 8. Was solid defensively no matter who he came up against and also looked comfortable on the ball. AFO
Gerard Pique - 7. Was dominant in aerial duels and looked authoritative throughout his time on the pitch, despite suffering from some knee problems. AFP
Clement Lenglet - 7. Very neat with the ball at his feet and rarely looked stretched at all defensively, which was partly down to his anticipation. Had a goal ruled out for offside. EPA
Sergino Dest - 6. Did very well to get up and down the right flank and find good spaces. However, he struggled when it came to finding the correct end product, hitting the woodwork from a good opportunity. Getty
Frenkie de Jong - 8. Progressed the ball up the pitch brilliantly, springing counter attacks and working well in tight spaces, so could have easily had an assist. Also made some intelligent defensive interventions. Getty
Sergio Busquets - 7. Made the game look so effortless, sweeping up brilliantly when needed, and showed quality on the ball. AP
Pedri - 8. Provided some truly delightful touches, showed quick thinking and real intelligence whether attacking or winning the ball back. Getty
Jordi Alba - 7. Was reserved in the first half before becoming more adventurous in the second, looking steady in both periods. Read danger brilliantly. EPA
Lionel Messi - 8. At the centre of many Barcelona attacks and played a wonderful ball through for the opener. Went on to score the second of the game, putting the game out of question. Booked for a foul on Fernando, almost getting a second for a foul on Jules Kounde. Getty
Ousmane Dembele - 8. Made some brilliant runs behind the Sevilla defence, one of which led to the opener that he took brilliantly and another that created a great chance for Messi. Booked while going off. Reuters
SUBSTITUTES: Ronald Araujo (Pique 67’) – N/R. Will be bitterly disappointed that his return to the team lasted just 15 minutes, as he showed by kicking some seats on his way off. AFP
Samuel Umtiti (Araujo 82’) – N/A. Didn’t have too much to do but carried himself with authority. Reuters
