Barcelona player ratings: Raphinha struggles, Robert Lewandowski denied at the death in loss to Man Utd

Marc Andre ter Stegen (6/10):

Can't be faulted for the second goal. Could have done better on the first.

Jules Kounde (6/10):

Dealt with Jadon Sancho well, but was pinned back for most of proceedings. Alejandro Garnacho gave him the runaround.

Ronald Aruajo (7/10):

Enjoyed a good night before being subbed off. One particularly impressive recovery to prevent Rashford from scoring stood out.

Andreas Christensen (6/10):

Comfortable in the first half, stretched in the second.

Alejandro Balde (6/10):

Energetic, won a (slightly dubious) penalty for his side. Could have closed down Antony quicker on United's winner.

Franck Kessie (5/10):

Was enjoying a solid showing until he gave the ball away in the build up to United's equaliser.

Sergio Busquets (6/10):

Positionally exploited in the second half. Looked leggy in his first game in nearly a month, and got himself a silly yellow card as a result.

Frenkie de Jong (7/10):

Impressive against the team he almost joined last summer. Completed the most dribbles in the match, passed well. Barca's standout on the night.

Raphinha (5/10):

Skyed a few over the bar, and could've linked with Lewandowski more effectively.

Robert Lewandowski (6/10):

Scored from the spot, although it wasn't particularly convincing. Had his last-minute effort cleared off the line.

Sergi Roberto (5/10):

A typically solid shift, but a more natural forward would probably have put Barca 2-0 up.

Ferran Torres (6/10):

Didn't really offer much beyond one floated cross that Ansu Fati couldn't convert.

Ansu Fati (5/10):

Mistimed his jump on what would have been an equalising header.

Marcos Alonso (N/A):

Didn't impact the game much, went down far too easily trying to win a foul.

Xavi (5/10):

Changed formation, playing a more natural 4-3-3 with Sergi Roberto operating in an unfamiliar left wing position. It offered some defensive solidity, but Barca looked short of ideas going forward. Not how he wanted Barca's European campaign to end.
