LUIS SUAREZ (BARCELONA) – 7.7
Luis Suarez has been a goal-scoring machine ever since his arrival at Barcelona, and against a not-so-strong Las Palmas team you would fancy him to score a few.
And that is exactly what the Uruguayan did. A 14th minute goal from Andre Gomes’ ball, hit on first touch by Suarez gave Barca the lead. And after being offered too much space and time on the ball, Suarez again made Palmas pay the price with his second goal.
Barca’s third goal too might have been scored by Arda Turan but it was Suarez’s counter-attacking run and a shot that rebounded off the keeper, that was instrumental.
LIONEL MESSI (BARCELONA) – 7.7
The Argentine genius played a vital part in Barcelona’s 5-0 victory at home.
Messi made some terrific dribbles, runs into the box and sublime, at times key, passes in the final third.
There was no need for a last-gasp free-kick and Messi also missed a one-on-one with the goalkeeper, but he did score a tap-in and looks in good touch for the remainder of the season.
NANI (VALENCIA) – 7.6
Valencia finally ended their winless streak after winning 2-1 against Espanyol, and it was a decent performance from Nani who threatened the Espanyol defense throughout.
Nani provided the assist to Martin Montoya for the first goal of the game and an in-form Nani might help Valencia to get their La Liga campaign back on track.
ALEIX VIDAL (BARCELONA) – 7.6
The Barcelona full-back has not been first choice under Luis Enrique, but after a stellar game against Palmas, it looks as though he might now get more first-team appearances.
After the game, Enrique said of Vidal: “His performance contradicted the Coach because he had an excellent match. Physically he’s a unit, he has great natural fitness and trains very well. I was very happy with his performance.”
Vidal played a part in Barca’s first goal and also scored their fifth.
ANDRE GOMES (BARCELONA) – 7.4
The midfielder played a vital role in taking control of things in the midfield.
He made the all-important run and provided an assist to Suarez for the first goal and Gomes will take plenty of confidence from the game against Las Palmas.
He was both physical and creative, a sign of positive things for Enrique and Barcelona in the future.
