Oblak
Conceded four goals to FC Barcelona for the second time in a month. Had little to do before the 70th minute; Robert Lewandowski’s difficult turn and finish revitalized the visitors, who then received a slice of luck from Lamine Yamal’s heavily-deflected winning goal. 3
Llorente
At the center of an unsuccessful penalty appeal in the first half as Iñigo Martínez pulled him back, but Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea was not moved. Chances to march forward were otherwise few and far between; Nahuel Molina’s entry allowed Llorente to play further forward, but he had few bites at the apple. 4.5
Lenglet
Made costly errors in the second half that contributed to Atlético Madrid blowing a 2-0 lead in LaLiga for the first time since 2007. Lewandowski outmuscled him for 2-1, and Torres snuck behind him to head home for 2-2. Has enjoyed a good season, especially given the fee paid, but isn’t reliable starting material in the biggest games. 2

Le Normand
Made four clearances, two tackles, and one bad pass intended for Pablo Barrios that culminated in Barça going 4-2 up in the eighth minute of second-half stoppage time. 3
Reinildo
Colossal game, largely kept the brilliant Yamal under wraps but let him break free for a shot off the post in the sixth minute before deflecting his hopeful shot beyond Jan Oblak in the second minute of stoppage time. 5.5
Barrios
Key in the middle of the park again; he leaves this horrible week with a lot of merit after dropping two quality performances against Real Madrid and Barcelona. His switches out wide were excellent, and he made three key passes; his ball over the top for Conor Gallagher built the move that ended in Alexander Sørloth’s goal. He made a mistake though in receiving a poor pass from Robin Le Normand that let Torres through to make it 4-2. 6

De Paul
A fitness doubt before the game, he was a step behind throughout and a shadow of the player we saw in midweek. 4
Giuliano Simeone
Made the final pass for Julián Alvarez’s goal, squaring Antoine Griezmann’s pass to La Araña for his fifth assist of the season. A bit of a surprise to see him taken off with 10 minutes to go and the scores level. 7
Lino
He played? —
Griezmann
Supplied the hockey assist for Alvarez and combined with Gallagher in the buildup for Sørloth’s strike. But the fact remains that he has started each of the past 10 games and scored one goal while providing one primary assist. A lot has been said about Griezmann never winning LaLiga despite his brilliant career in Spain; his form falling off a cliff at a vital time is down to him, and his age, as much as Simeone’s unwillingness to ponder alternatives. 5
Alvarez
Scored his 11th league goal this season with a superb clipped finish beyond Wojciech Szczęsny. Removed on the hour; Diego Simeone later revealed that Alvarez had been running a fever while dealing with a stomach virus in recent days. 7
Gallagher (60’)
Replaced Lino on the left-hand side and made an impact almost instantly, assisting Sørloth’s goal with a great ball across goal. 7
Sørloth (60’)
Doubled the team’s lead in the 70th minute, finding himself open in the box and finishing Gallagher’s cross with confidence. 7

Giménez (79’)
Brought in to add some more defense at a point in the match where Barcelona’s attack was in full flight. His presence was not enough to stop the onslaught of goals (a couple of them, pretty fortunate). 5
Molina (79’)
Like Giménez, Molina was added to bring in another defensive body, but he couldn’t do much to help while the momentum was in Barcelona’s favor. 5
Riquelme (86’)
Came on late in the match for Griezmann, a rare appearance for the academy graduate. Couldn’t do much in his limited time on the pitch. N/A
