Barca Femeni’s Dominating 8-0 Win Against Sevilla: Player Ratings and Performances

Barca Femeni’s commanding 8-0 triumph over Sevilla was a spectacle to behold, and here’s how we assessed the performances of the players:

Salma Paralluelo: 10/10. Salma was nothing short of a sensation today. The 19-year-old displayed her extraordinary talents, proving why she’s currently considered the most promising young player globally, netting four brilliant goals. Her killer instincts were simply unparalleled.

Caroline Graham Hansen: 9. Contributed significantly with three assists for Paralluelo’s goals, particularly the third, and played a key role in every Barca attack. Additionally, she showcased her skills by scoring a splendid goal after the break. However, she did experience a few giveaways in the first half and missed a promising chance around the half-hour mark.

Alexia Putellas: 8. Orchestrated many of Barca’s attacks with her intelligent deep passes and even provided an assist for Graham’s goal. Though a few passes went astray, it’s the trade-off with her daring style of play. At times, she held onto the ball a bit longer than necessary.

Mariona Caldentey: 8. While she had a relatively quiet first half, Mariona exhibited excellent positional awareness in the second half, converting her chances with precision.

Sandra Panos: 7.5. Impressed in the first half, thwarting Sevilla’s chances, including several attempts by Martin-Prieto. She also made a superb save against Maria Perez in the middle of the second half.

Marta Torrejon: 7.5. Notably, Marta celebrated her 400th appearance for the Catalans with a beautiful goal during added time.

Aitana Bonmati: 7. Aitana provided solid support from midfield in the attacking phases, although there were moments when her passing and movement could have been swifter and more precise. It’s worth noting that this was her first match after winning the Ballon d’Or, so a bit of understanding is warranted.

Maria Leon: 7. She exhibited good distribution from the back, but her defensive efforts in the first half could have been tighter.

Asisat Oshoala: 5.5. Introduced in the second half when the outcome was virtually sealed, but she failed to make a compelling case for a starting spot, frequently straying offside. She also missed two excellent late-game opportunities.

Others: Bronze, Pina, Brugts 7; Walsh, Battle, Engen, Corrales 6.5. The supporting cast contributed commendably to the team’s success, with notable performances from several key players.
