Barcelona player ratings against Celta Vigo: Pedri shines after difficult start
Barcelona player ratings against Celta Vigo: Pedri shines after difficult start Barcelona took another step closer to the La Liga title on Wednesday, as they secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Celta Vigo at the Spotify Camp Nou. Joan Garcia – 7 Made a fantastic save to deny Ferran Jutgla in the opening minute of the match, as he secured his 13th clean sheet of the season in La Liga. Jules Kounde – 6 Struggled early on, in what has been the norm for him this season.
However, he got better as the game went on. Pau Cubarsi – 7 Solid performance from the teenager, who dealt with everything that came his way. Gerard Martin – 7.
5 Martin has been a revelation in the Barcelona defence this season, and while he is unlikely to retain his starting place beyond the summer, he deserves a prominent squad role. This performance was another standout one on his CV. Joao Cancelo – 6 Managed only 21 minutes before having to be replaced after taking a blow to his thigh/knee area.
Eric Garcia – 6. 5 He played far too deep, which often left Pedri with too much to do – especially in the first half. A late yellow card means he will be suspended for the weekend trip to Getafe.
Pedri – 7. 5 Struggled in the first half, but he was much like his normal self in the second – particularly during the minutes when Frenkie de Jong was on the pitch. Lamine Yamal – 6.
