4 of 4

Julien Duranville (7/10) - A courageous and electric performance from the youngster on such a big stage as the Champions League. Duranville did not seem to care that he was playing against Barcelona as he was effectively dribbling and creating danger to the Spanish giants in the first-half. He, however, lost his momentum after the break and ran out of steam before being replaced.

Jamie Gittens (7/10) - Jamie Gittens took a while to get into form. Following a quiet first-half, the Englishman displayed his good old self in the second, using his quick turn of pace to get the better of Jules Koundé time and again.

Serhou Guirassy (8/10) - Despite his two goals in clutch moments of the match, Serhou Guirassy did not have his best 90 minutes, losing many duels to Cubarsí and missing clear shots he has not been missing. Even so, it is impossible not to applaud his showing, considering he can score goals even when under pressure against top quality defenders.

Yan Couto (7/10) - Great pre-assist to Dortmund's second goal, completely breaking Barcelona's lines. Not many right-backs can make those kinds of passes, and Couto's first real glimpse of what he can offer to Borussia Dortmund.

Pascal Groß (6/10) - Groß would have had a better grade if it wasn't for his missed pass that culminated in Barcelona's winner. Besides that one moment, a good performance with an assist and a good presence on set pieces.
