Barcelona players rating in Cornella win with Araujo 8, Puig 5

Here's how the Catalans fared in the Copa del Rey last 16.

Ronald Araujo - 8/10

Our most reliable man at the back again. The Uruguayan also won a penalty in the first half which, however, wasn't converted by Barca.

Ousmane Dembele - 8/10

Our hero today! The Frenchman's long-range stunner saved us from the penalty shootout and won us the game.

Neto - 8/10

Surprisingly, the Brazilian had much work tonight but he didn't disappoint as he managed to make a few truly important saves.

Miralem Pjanic - 7.5/10

Our greatest playmaker tonight. Despite a missed penalty kick, the Bosnian was always posing a threat to Cornella's goalkeeper but was unlucky not to score.

Ilaix Moriba - 7/10

What a debut! The 18-year-old looked very solid on the ball, especially in the first half. The midfielder was also active at tackling and intercepting the ball when needed. Strong physical display from Ilaix on this memorable day despite some mistakes made after the break.

Oscar Mingueza - 7/10

Deserves some credit too, especially since he played at right-back. Looked great at the back and decent in support.

Riqui Puig - 5/10

Didn't look good enough in the first half and got deservedly subbed off at the break. It's too important for Riqui to have much space on the pitch, and it was impossible to create it on a fast artificial pitch.

Martin Braithwaite - 4/10

Had a few clear-cut scoring chances but couldn't convert at least one of them until the very last minute. Should've scored in the first half already and somehow missed a sitter after the break.

Other players' ratings: Pedri 7, Busquets 7, De la Fuente 7, Griezmann 6.5, Lenglet 6.5, Trincao 6, Firpo 5.5.
