Machado Trincao N/A – Did very little when he came on. Only played seven minutes, but didn’t do enough to try and change the game. AFP
ATLETICO MADRID RATINGS: Jan Oblak 7 – Did his job well when he faced Lionel Messi in a one-on-one situation from a tight angle. He stayed on his feet and smothered the ball low to his left. Also saved comfortably from a Griezmann header. AP
Kieran Trippier 6 – Linked well with Llorente on the right-hand side and was a danger on the overlap, his crossing ability troubling Barca’s back line. AP
Stefan Savic 7 – Looked extremely solid alongside Gimenez. Together they snuffed out Griezmann and restricted Messi to one major chance all game. Reuters
Jose Gimenez 7 – The visitors struggled to find a way past him. He gave away a free-kick in a dangerous area with ten minutes left, but luckily it amounted to nothing. AP
Mario Hermoso 7 – His passing ability perfectly suits Atletico’s style; on two occasions he turned defence into attack quickly with a single through ball. Getty
Marcos Llorente 7 – Was one of Atletico’s most dangerous attacking outlets as he enjoyed space on the right. Was substituted, but more than played his part. Getty
Koke 7 – Was a key player early on but was booked, which left him under pressure. However, he still managed to control the middle, and also spread the play well… Carrasco and Felix on the left enjoyed his service. EPA
Saul Niguez 7 – Had a great chance to open the scoring inside the first 15 minutes but his effort struck the bar. Was a formidable barrier that Barcelona struggled to break down. Getty
Yannick Carrasco 7 – Had a busy night on the left-hand side at both ends of the pitch. His neat flick deceived an advancing Ter Stegen to enable him to score the winner into an empty net from distance on the stroke of half-time. AFP
Angel Correa 8 – Played a fabulous pass to Carrasco for the opening goal that completely caught out Ter Stegen, and was unplayable at times. AP
Joao Felix 7 – Another good performance from the Portuguese youngster, who is fast becoming the star of La Liga. A good outlet who caused Barca problems with his movement and dribbling ability. Getty
SUBS: Diego Costa N/A – Was a typical nuisance after coming on. He’s definitely lost his edge, but he caused more problems than Griezmann and Messi combined in his cameo. AP
Thomas Lemar N/A – Came on and got forward but his positional sense let him down at key moments. AFP
Geoffrey Kondogbia N/A – Added some physicality in the middle to try and close the game out and did his job well. AFP
Felipe N/A – Came on in injury time so hardly had a chance to get a kick. Getty
BARCELONA RATINGS: Marc-Andre ter Stegen 4 – Kept Barcelona in the game early on with a superb save and a flying dive to his right from Carrasco. However, he then lost his head on the stroke of half-time, coming way out of his area only to miss the ball and leave an empty net for Carrasco. AFP
Sergi Roberto 5 – Was stretched at times and often left his teammates exposed. Came close with an effort late on. AP
Gerard Pique 5 – Started confidently and made an outrageous pass across his own six-yard box, but alongside Ter Stegen was also at fault for the opening goal; Pique leaving his keeper stranded with a heavy touch. Was also guilty of leaving Lenglet exposed at times. EPA
Clement Lenglet 5 – Poor positional sense put Barca’s defence under pressure, but he once again displayed his excellent ability on the ball. Had a good chance to level with a header in the second half. EPA
Jordi Alba 5 – Lost the ball a lot but carved Atletico open with an incisive pass to Messi. Struggled against Koke and Saul. AP
Frenkie De Jong 5 – Displayed tidy feet despite being pressed whenever he had the ball. However, he was too slow in possession and this affected Barca’s tempo. EPA
Miralem Pjanic 6 – Started well and looked assured alongside De Jong. He was always looking for the probing pass in and around the Atletico area. AFP
Pedri 4 – Looked lost on the left-hand side and couldn’t get into the game at all, which Atletico looked to punish. Was replaced by Coutinho. EPA
Lionel Messi 5 – Had a great chance five minutes before the break but, after delaying his shot, he couldn’t find a way past Oblak. Not his best game. AFP
Ousmane Dembele 6 – Had a lot of space on the right hand side but his final ball sometimes let him down. Looked dangerous when he got in behind his man. AFP
Antoine Griezmann 5 – Fizzed an early effort over the bar and found attacking opportunities few and far between thereafter. Made a crucial clearance in his own box in the second half. AFP
SUBS: Philippe Coutinho 5 – Came on in a deeper role as he played in a pivot alongside Roberto, and struggled to make an impact. AFP
Sergino Dest 6 – Was unlucky not to start the game given his recent form, and he came on in a central position to replace Pique. Did well given the circumstances. EPA
Martin Braithwaite N/A – Once again looked poor when he came on. Didn’t offer Barca any presence in the final third. AFP
