She came out to collect a couple of balls to stop the opposition’s attacks. can not be blamed for both of Real Sociedad’s goals. She did not have an easy or comfortable time against Real Sociedad’s high pressing, counter-attacks, and constant runs and attacks. The goal came from the left wing, but there was nothing the keeper could have done. Panos was always able to smell the danger and got out quickly to claim the balls.

Marta Torrejón: 6.5

Was as decent as ever in defense and attack and should have been rewarded with an assist or a Barcelona goal. Martha got a shot on goal saved from a header with a fine cross from Caroline Graham Hansen in the 33rd minute. She also almost had an assist in the 44th minute when she laid the ball for Aitana Bonmati.

Irene Parades: 7

One assist. Rabano made a couple of backpasses in the game that could have led to goals for the opposing team. She made the first one in the 8th minute, which was a weak back pass that almost resorted to a goal for the home side. She was getting caught out of her position in the game. It was a mixed game for the left-back, who was playing against her former team. Sometimes she relentlessly presses her marker and doesn’t give them a chance. did well to move the ball forward. Rabano kept playing high up and dispossessing the opposing player but was caught out at times by Real Sociedad wingers and midfielders with neat passes and combinations. Rabano’s defensive actions were shaky given that the two goals came from her wing, but she did fairly well going forward.

She made a fine cross into the box in the early minutes of the game. was always looking to combine with Caroline Hansen Graham and Mariona Caldentey.

Almost added a second in the early minutes of the second half, testing the goalkeeper with two brilliant shots. But she eventually got her second goal and Barcelona’s fifth goal with a trademark cut-in and a left-footed shot into the goal. She was a dangerous threat to Real Sociedad’s goal when given space.
