UEFA Champions League Final 2015: FC Barcelona player ratings
CB Javier Mascherano 6.5
For the most part, Barcelona didn’t have any issues with the Zebras defensively, though Mascherano did seem to have issues at times. However, most of that is due to his troubles at the beginning of the game, but those were done away with after he frantically changed boots following Ivan Rakitic’s goal in the fourth minute.
Mascherano finished with a quality performance, all told, as he always reads the game well and does a nice job of turning defense into attack and spacing out the pitch with his long passes.
