Goalkeeper & Defence

Joan Garcia (7/10):

While he was unable to do anything to stop either of Real's goals, the goalkeeper made seven saves to prevent Xabi Alonso's men from scoring more.

Jules Kounde (5/10):

The France international had a difficult evening up against the electric Vinicius, who nutmegged him in the build-up to scoring Real's first of the evening. However, he almost recorded an assist with a low cross which found its way through to Yamal, who fired straight at Courtois.

Pau Cubarsi (6/10):

Not content with tormenting Kounde, Vinicius also found joy when driving at the young Barcelona centre-back inside the penalty area.

Eric Garcia (6/10):

Despite receiving a booking, the former Manchester City man had a solid evening, sweeping up well to prevent Jude Bellingham racing through on goal on one occasion.

Alejandro Balde (5/10):

With Real's best moments coming on the opposite side of the pitch, the left-back had a quiet evening defensively. However, he will be disappointed not to have made a bigger impact going forward.

Midfield

Pedri (8/10):

Seeking revenge after being sent off in October's Clasico defeat, the midfielder recorded the assist for Barcelona's second with a delightful through ball to Lewandowski.

Frenkie de Jong (4/10):

Struggling to win his ground duels (38%) all evening, the captain was then dismissed for a late, high challenge on Mbappe.

Fermin Lopez (7/10):

Looking to build on his two assists against Athletic Club in the semi-finals, the 22-year-old registered another when finding Raphinha with a terrific pass.

Attack

Lamine Yamal (8/10):

Ever the danger man for Barcelona, the wonderkid was unlucky not to record an assist when he fed Raphinha with a stunning through ball, only for his team-mate to fire wide. He then went close to scoring himself, but he fired straight at Courtois from close range.

Robert Lewandowski (7/10):

Handed a start ahead of Ferran Torres, the Poland legend scored Barcelona's second with a fantastic dinked finish over Real shot-stopper Courtois.

Raphinha (9/10):

Aiming to repeat his two-goal heroics against Athletic Club, the former Leeds United forward broke the deadlock as he drove the ball past Courtois and into the far corner. The 29-year-old grabbed his second after 73 minutes, and deserved his luck as a deflection took the ball into the net.

Subs & Manager

Dani Olmo (6/10):

Brought on just after the hour mark, the attacking midfielder huffed and puffed but was unable to work his magic in the final third.

Ferran Torres (6/10):

Like Dani Olmo, the striker played the final half-hour in the Middle East and found it difficult to calve out a goalscoring chance.

Marcus Rashford (N/A):

Lifting his first silverware with Barcelona, the Manchester United loanee fired wide late on when he perhaps should have taken the ball into the corner.

Gerard Martin (N/A):

Like Rashford, the defender was a late substitute as Barcelona looked to see out their victory.

Ronald Araujo (N/A):

A late, late substitute as Barcelona looked to get an extra defender on following De Jong's red card.

Hansi Flick (7/10):

The German made the decision to start Lewandowski ahead of Ferran Torres, and he was rewarded for that call as the former scored Barcelona's second goal on the night.
