Barcelona player ratings as they exit the Champions League to Juve
Neymar did everything he could but came up short against the Italians
This was not a bad Barça performance and the players can hold their heads up
Barcelona were unable to do it again. They were held to a goalless draw by Juventus at Camp Nou, exiting the Champions League 3-0 on aggregate. Here are the player ratings.
TER STEGEN (7) A good performance. No notable errors, made the saves he had to make and was quick to get play moving.
SERGI ROBERTO (7) Played well on the right of the back four, adding an attacking threat and comfortable on the ball. Had one chance, curling a left-footed effort wide before being taken off, exhausted.
PIQUE (7) Committed performance from Pique, who led from the back. Kept Higuain out and also added a lot going forward, building attacks.
UMTITI (8) Brilliant game from the French defender, who didn't leave Dybala alone. Top anticipation and good on the ball.
ALBA (7) Allowed Neymar into the game more and created Barça's best chances in the first half. Came close to scoring from brilliant Messi assist.
SERGIO BUSQUETS (7) A decent showing, above all in terms of intelligence and recovering the ball. Passed well and was not caught out.
RAKITIC (6) A serious performance from the Croatian, who also had a chance from the edge of the area. His work without the ball was more important than work with it.
INIESTA (7) A 10 for attitude. Showed some great footwork but lacked a little in the final third.
MESSI (7) Never hid, but wasn't his night in front of goal. Had three good chances, but none hit the target.
LUIS SUÁREZ (6) Wasn't involved a lot against a strong Juve defence.
NEYMAR (8) The best of Barcelona's attackers, regularly skipping past clusters of Juve players. Another great performance, although this time without the thrilling finale.
