Alves - 7 - Struggled at times to go forward due to watery pitch. But again a spirited display and created the fourth goal.
Marquez - 7 - Didn't had much to do and was solid.
Pique - 7 - Had an excellent night apart from the mistake which led to the Malaga goal. Was more comfortable than Marquez with the state of the pitch.
Puyol - 7.5 - Great night playing at left back. Was caught out at times but did well while going forward.
Busquests - 6 - Average performance by the youngster. Was very clumsy with his challenges.
Toure - 7.5 - Another solid display from the Ivory coast player. Did well turning defense to atatck. Most admirable fact was that he won most of his challenges well in such tricky conditions.
Xavi - 8.5 - Without any doubt the best player of the night. His early goal from free kick settled the nerves and was instrumental in all moves.
Messi - 8 - I will say this was the best performance of his this season. He adjusted to the pitch well and god only know how he found the space for the second goal.
Eto - 7.5 - Great performance. He may not have been in the scoresheet. Like Messi he understood the pitch early and dropped back to help his mates.
Iniesta - 5 - Never was in the game. He couldn't get a grip of watery pitch and was rightly replaced.
Substitutions:
Henry - 7 - Great performance by the Frenchman. Used his experience well in a the watery picth. For once he looks like enjoying the game at Barca and looks like more than ready to do his part.
Sanchez & Bojan - Didn't get much time.
Man Of The Match - Xavi Hernandez
