Eric Garcia NA - On for Alba after 86 and looked to have made a costly foul, but got away with it. Made two key blocks in his short time on the pitch. Getty Images
BARCELONA RATINGS: Marc-Andre ter Stegen 9 - Fortunate that Aspas struck a 47th minute shot over. Was beaten after 69 minutes, but his side’s offside trap saw the effort disallowed. Saved with his feet from Aspas on 83 and then made three more saves in the final minutes. EPA
Alejandro Balde 7 - The 18-year-old usually plays left-back but was at right-back against Celta and performed well in his seventh straight league start, especially when combing with Raphiniha. EPA
Marcos Alonso 7 - First league start for Barça and played at centre-back – given the injuries to the other central defenders. Tested against Aspas and Celta’s other forwards running at him, but kept a clean sheet – thanks to a block he made. EPA
Gerard Pique 8 - Did well in the first half, where he headed over as Barça looked for a second goal. Cleared the ball away from the feet of Aspas six minutes from time as the Galicians threatened to take a point. Turned inside out by Larsen at one point. EPA
Jordi Alba 7 - Only his third league start of the season. Started the move which led to opening goal on 16 minutes. More touches – 113- than anyone else on the pitch. Creates chances, gets forward. Booked. EPA
Sergio Busquets 6 - Tried to hold firm as Celta battered the Barcelona goal in the last 10 minutes. And he did, but he was wobbling. Booked. EPA
Gavi 8 - Tidy, tenacious, pocket battleship who had his best game in a month. Crossed for Pedri for the opener. Almost got on the end of a 27th minute cross. Getty Images

Raphinha 7 - Was brought down on 40 minutes but his appeals for a penalty were ignored. A threat, though he can frustrate. AFP
Robert Lewandowski 5 - First time he didn’t score in a league game since the opening day of the season. Didn’t score v Inter last week either. Needs to be on it against Inter in Wednesday’s must-win Champions League return. AFP
Ferran Torres 6 - Had Barca’s first shot on target after 14 minutes. The seventh straight game in which he’s featured for Barça – and the seventh in which he’s failed to score or assist. EPA
SUBS: Ousmane Dembele 5 - On for Raphinha after 63. Swept a shot against goalkeeper on 82, but less impactful than in recent games. Reuters
Ansu Fati 6 - On for Ferran Torres after 63. Bought pace to the attack. Reuters
Frenkie de Jong 6 - On for Pedri after 63. Made a few runs, but less of an influence than usual. AFP
