Fermin Shines with 8.5, Rashford Scores 7.5: Barcelona Player Ratings in Elche Victory
Hansi Flick’s Barcelona side returned to winning ways with an impressive performance against Elche, delivering a strong display full of energy and control.
Fermin Lopez — 8.5
The young midfielder continues to impress with his outstanding form. In just 66 minutes on the pitch, Fermin created three chances, provided two assists, won five duels, and made two crucial tackles. His work rate and creativity were vital in keeping Barcelona’s attacking rhythm alive — truly the heartbeat of the midfield.
Alejandro Balde — 8.0
Balde’s sharp anticipation and vision were key to Barcelona’s opening goal. He intercepted the ball, surged forward confidently, and set up Lamine Yamal with a pinpoint pass. His composure in both attack and defense stood out, completing 86% of his passes and winning most of his challenges. A complete performance from the young full-back.
Marcus Rashford — 7.5
The Englishman got himself on the scoresheet with a composed finish in the second half, showing his quality in front of goal. However, his overall display was a mixed bag — he missed a big opportunity after opting to go solo and was caught offside in another promising situation. A good performance, but one that still leaves room for refinement.
