23/11/2014 Upd. at 01:09 CET

Claudio Bravo 6

Only had one thing to do and couldn't do it, no thanks to his defence.

Dani Alves 6

Jointly culpable with Gerard Pique for the goal; both players switched off.

Gerard Pique 7

Had a fairly good game, with some surprisingly effective attacking. As mentioned, partly at fault for Sevilla's equaliser.

Jeremy Mathieu 7

A brilliant first half tackle and an all-round solid display.

Jordi Alba 7

Scored an own goal but it wasn't his fault. Bright going forward and good at the back.

Sergio Busquets 8

Probably his best game this season, strong in midfield and allowed Sevilla little time to build

Ivan Rakitic 7

Scored against his former side and looked the energised presence of the first few weeks

Xavi Hernandez 8

Still at home in the centre at Camp Nou. Away games might be a different thing, but he's the king and will fight to keep his crown

Luis Suarez 6

A couple of bright runs and a fine cross for Rakitic to head home. Didn't threaten to break his duck though.

Lionel Messi 10

A fantastic hat-trick to break Telmo Zarra's all-time goalscoring record. If Xavi is the king, Messi is god.

Neymar 8
