    Cristian Ansaldi

    Defended well in the first-half but appeared to look shaky in the second session when Barca began to impose their superior quality.

  • Gökdeniz Karadeniz
    37
    12
    2.50

    Gökdeniz Karadeniz

    Supported the attack and also dropped back when required. His running was crucial as he gave his side to breathe and battle against the Blaugrana players.

  • Vitaliy Kaleshin
    28
    13
    3.00

    Vitaliy Kaleshin

    Won the penalty for Rubin in the first-half and was also very influential down the left flank, keeping Alves rather quiet.

  • Rafal Murawski

    16
    2.50

    Rafal Murawski

    Was overrun in the midfield especially in the second-half and had to drop back to help his team.

  • C. Noboa

    38
    3.50

    C. Noboa Top of the Match

    Scored the opening goal and made some good deliveries in the second half. His running and fearlessness to go against the Barca stars were remarkable.

  • Alexander Ryazantsev
    23
    13
    2.50

    Alexander Ryazantsev

    Had a rather quiet first half but won free-kicks and went forward on several occasions in the second half.

  • Sergey Kornilenko
    24
    10
    2.00

    Sergey Kornilenko

    Didn't really have much to feed on in the first half and was taken out in the second session.

    2.50

    Macbeth

    Added some pace and tried to break down Barca in the midfield, trying his luck from distance on one occasion.

  • Obafemi Martins
    66
    12
    2.50

    Obafemi Martins

    Could have won the game for Rubin late on when his header hit the post. His pace and movement created trouble for Barca after he came on.

  • Víctor Valdés
    51
    63
    2.00

    Víctor Valdés

    The Spain international nearly kept out the penalty in the first half from Rubin and didn't really have much to do today.

  • Daniel Alves
    54
    59
    2.00

    Daniel Alves

    The Brazilian right-back couldn't go on his usual marauding runs and also gave away a penalty in the first half.

  • Piqué
    51
    74
    2.50

    Piqué

    The centre-back's touch let him down and he didn't look very good while defending either.

  • Carles Puyol
    57
    47
    2.50

    Carles Puyol

    Had a decent game today but didn't look very adventurous while going upfront.

  • Maxwell
    57
    46
    2.00

    Maxwell

    Had a good game overall and didn't make any big mistakes.

  • Xavi
    63
    55
    2.50

    Xavi

    Didn't have an especially good game as he couldn't find the space or the creativity to work, especially in the first half. But he was still dangerous on occasions and his set-piece delivery was inch-perfect in the first 45 minutes.

  • Busquets
    43
    63
    2.00

    Busquets

    Recovered in the second half after having a rather modest first session. However, the Spain international didn't look very comfortable as the lone holding midfielder.

  • Javier Mascherano
    161
    184
    2.00

    Javier Mascherano Flop of the Match

    Couldn't really control the midfield in the first half and was hooked on the hour mark. After his departure, Barca began to play better.

  • Pedro
    78
    76
    3.00

    Pedro

    Had a good game and terrorised the Rubin defence down the flanks. Carved out a number of exquisite crosses and also went close on one occasion.

  • David Villa
    113
    86
    3.00

    David Villa

    Hit the frame of the Rubin crossbar in the first half and scored from the penalty spot in the second session. Had one or two good chances on other occasions and did well upfront.

  • Andrés Iniesta Luján
    82
    65
    3.00

    Andrés Iniesta Luján

    Iniesta came close to scoring late on and also won the penalty for Barcelona. The World Cup winner's movements were very good too.

Substitutions

  • Bojan Krkic

    Bojan Krkic

    N/A

  • Lionel Messi
    153
    162
    3.00

    Lionel Messi

    The Argentine star came on in the second half and went close on a number of occasions. He didn't have an especially great final 30 minutes but he did make one or two quick runs.
