Pedri and Pique Barcelona best: Barcelona players rating in Getafe loss

Getafe away is never easy, but the Catalans were too bad even by last seasons' standards.

Decent

Pedri 8.5

Pedri got to start his first ever match for Barcelona and was certainly among the best performers on the pitch, too bad Ronald Koeman decided to replace him only ten minutes into the second half.

The youngster was good in possession, he can clearly provide the creativity we've been lacking lately. The 17-year-old still has a lot to learn, but his decision-making has been nearly flawless.

62 minutes

29/31 passes

1 key pass

1/2 long balls

1 big chance created

1/1 dribble

2/5 ground duels won

1 interception

Frenkie de Jong 7

Besides the penalty he gave away, Frenkie de Jong had a great match, bossing the midfield just like the fans expect him to. The important thing for the Dutchman is to keep up the same level going forward.

80 minutes

1 penalty conceded

46/52 passes

3/4 long balls

5/5 dribbles

11/13 ground duels won

3/5 aerial duels won

3 clearances

1 interception

3 tackles

Gerard Pique 8

If we were to give an award to the best Barca player so far this season, Gerard Pique would certainly be among the top candidates. The veteran has once again shown that he's among the top centre-backs in Europe and that his 'undisputed starter' role isn't due to status, it's due to consistency.

90 minutes

81/85 passes

4/5 long balls

1 key pass

1 shot

1/1 ground duel won

7/9 aerial duels won

5 clearances

3 interceptions

1 tackle

Terrible

Ousmane Dembele 3.5

Ousmane Dembele has won his chance to play from start thanks to his work in training, but the actual performance he put up was far from what the fans expected. The winger was rusty, perhaps because he still lacks match fitness, perhaps because Getafe is just not the best opponent for him.

62 minutes

25/32 passes

0 shots

3/4 dribbles

5/10 ground duels won

1/1 aerial duel won

Antoine Griezmann 2

Terrible, simply terrible. After his complaints in the media, Antoine Griezmann got the chance to start at centre-forward, but he didn't deliver. The 29-year-old could have become the hero of the night had he converted the brilliant through ball from Pedri, but no, he simply squared it.
