Balde — 9, Lewandowski — 7: Rating Barca players in Betis win

Balde — 9

The teenager showed his class in this game with his running and defending down that left flank. It was his powerful and unstoppable run that set up the goal for Raphinha. Balde was superb in the final third all game.

Gavi — 8

Gavi played a good game and it was his physicality that helped Barca remain solid in midfield. He linked up well with the players around him and hardly put a foot wrong. His combative and incisive play gave Barca an edge.

Araujo — 8

The big defender was at it again with his ruthless style of defending. He allowed nothing to get past him and his brilliant game was almost rewarded with another clean sheet. It was Araujo's header that fell to the path of Lewandowski for the match-winner.

Raphinha — 7.5

The Brazilian was lively in the final third and tried to be inventive with his dribbles and cross. Raphinha eventually found the net in the second-half thanks to his forward-thinking and positioning.

Lewandowski — 7

Lewandowski had a quiet game until he sprang into life deep into the second half to score his 14th goal of the season. Obviously, Barca have missed his killer instinct in those three games and he showed he only needs a moment to make a difference once again.
