Here is how the big Spanish newspapers (Marca, AS, Mundo Deportivo and Sport) rated Barcelona’s players after their shock 2-0 loss to Valencia at the Mestalla- also new manager Setien’s first loss as FCB manager.
Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, who saved a first half penalty, was the only starting player to emerge with some kind of credit, but the rest had pretty poor ratings, as shown below.
