Barcelona player ratings vs Villarreal as Messi saves the day
Nicola Sansone sent Villarreal ahead but Lionel Messi saved a point for Barcelona with his late free-kick
Marc-Andre ter Stegen 6
The German goalkeeper saved two strikes from Sansone before the goal, where he could do little.
Sergi Roberto 6
Good in attack but problems defensively, overloaded on more than one occasion. Pato caused him trouble.
Gerard Pique 7
The defender had no problems in defending his zone and ruling the defence.
Javier Mascherano 6
Strong in the tackle although Sansone escaped him on more than one occasion. Handball in the box the officials missed.
Lucas Digne 7
Although the Frenchman did well in the first half, offering dangerous crosses, it was different in the second when he gave the ball away for the goal.
Sergio Busquets 7
Gave the midfield oxygen, showing consistency and that he is getting back to his best - still lacks a little bit though.
Andre Gomes 6
The Portuguese put in a decent first half, although he needs to believe in himself more. Taken off in the second after not making an impact.
Andres Iniesta 8
Showed his quality from the start. The Manchego was involved in everything good, although he got tired as the game wore on.
Lionel Messi 9
The Argentine led the team and did all he could to get them level. Never surrendered and scored the amazing free-kick equaliser.
Luis Suarez 7
The Uruguayan fought with the defence and looked for his chance, but it did not come. Lacking luck at the moment.
Neymar 6
The goal resists him, but he tried everything and his attitude was good, including defensively. A pity his 23rd minute strike did not whistle in.
