Olmo 9, Casado 9: Rating Barcelona players in Espanyol win

Dani Olmo delivered an outstanding performance in only his fourth La Liga start for Barcelona, scoring two goals in just 19 minutes, earning a solid rating of nine.

Marc Casado – 9
The La Masia graduate excelled both defensively and offensively, providing a vital assist for Raphinha’s first-half goal, also deserving a nine for his overall display.

Frenkie De Jong – 6.5*
