TEAM RATINGS

Barcelona

• 13C. Bravo
  The keeper was not heavily involved but seemed to be lacking communication with his defence on crosses.
• 3Piqué
  Had a comfortable time at the back and dealt well with crosses into the box, also netting from close range.
• 22Dani Alves
  Dealt capably with Lica but brought down Bueno for the penalty which resulted in his dismissal.
• 24J. Mathieu
  The Frenchman put in a measured performance but lost concentration as Bueno got in behind to win the penalty.
• 18Jordi Alba
  A very energetic performance from the left-back as he made numerous overlapping runs to assist in attack.
• 8Iniesta
  His dribbling caused Rayo many problems and he drew fouls to win free kicks around the box.
• 6Xavi
  Assisted the opening goal and created numerous chances with his quality passing in midfield.
• 14J. Mascherano
  Screened the defence effectively, closing the opposition quickly and distributing the ball.
• 10L. Messi
  After a quiet first half he really came into the game after the interval, netting a hat-trick and assisting Suarez for his second.
• 7Pedro
  Got into some great advanced areas but lacked a clinical edge, though he did assist Messi's third.
• 9L. Suárez
  Opened the scoring with a great finish before winning the penalty, which Messi converted, and netting another late on.

Rayo Vallecano

• 13C. Álvarez
  Operated effectively as a sweeper keeper, and, although he had six put past him, it could have been more had he not made so many saves.
• 2Tito
  Played Suarez onside on the opening goal and was dismissed after conceding the penalty which Messi converted.
• 4Antonio Amaya
  Defended high and lacked the pace to stop Barca getting in around the back. Was unaware of Messi as he scored his second.
• 14E. Insúa
  Tried to get forward when he could but defended poorly on the left side of the back four.
• 15A. Ba
  Looked coltish in the centre of defence and struggled to deal with Suarez's movement, particularly on his second.
• 21Jozabed
  Passed well in midfield and attempted to push on and support the forwards.
• 10Roberto Trashorras
  Went close with a couple of efforts on goal in a solid outing from the former Barca man.
• 22Licá
  Hugged the left flank but didn't see much of the ball, though when he did he was calm and often found a team-mate.
• 12G. Kakuta
  Stuck out wide on the right and initiated the move which resulted in the penalty.
• 23Bueno
  Operated in behind Leo Baptistao but worked hard and won the penalty which he subsequently converted.
• 19Léo Baptistão
  Worked hard to try and make himself available up top, but, although he had a role in winning the penalty, he didn't test Bravo.

Substitutes

• 21Adriano Correia
  Replaced Jordi Alba in the 69th minute and was positive, but he picked up a booking after getting caught out of position.
• 12Rafinha
  Brought on for Iniesta in the 65th minute but barely tracked back.
• 4I. Rakitić
  Came on for Mascherano in the 60th minute and worked the ball well.

Substitutes

• 17Quini
  Came on for Jozabed in the 65th minute but could not stop Barca dictating the play.
• 16J. Aquino
  Brought on for Lica in the 69th minute and made Rayo more robust.
• 9Manucho Gonçalves
  Replaced Leo Baptistao in the 81st minute.
