Probably the worst player in an otherwise surprisingly positive defensive performance.
Also good that the ref helped out.

Like ive said before he has a problem with awareness . he can make great sliding tackles but he often mess up marking on players behind him.
TBH i feel more safe with Pique-Umtiti

That's an awful marking by him with Ramos, damn it, bro, should've subbed Umtiti IN.
Also would love to see him on RB, he's a great distributor, for both 3-4-3 and 4-3-3 formations.

still daydreaming about that last chance for us, when casemiro cleared of the line. and masche challenged him, inches before an empty goal, if only he was 10 cm taller, that would have been an epic first goal for barca...

Hate to say it but Masche is one of our weakest links. Been abysmal in defense for the most part this season. BMG had a questionable pen call today while Masche trying to take the striker's legs out from behind nowhere near the ball. Umtiti was the one dueling with him but Masche wanted to take out his legs. Completely abandoned his position for Johnson's throughball chance too, practically handed it to them on a platter.

In the Clasico as well, Masche nearly gave them 2 legit pen calls and got humiliated by Ronaldo with that dirty meg. His defending ability has been completely absent, often getting embarrassed and then trying to foul the shit out of the opponents as some sort of consolation. Thank god for Pique and Umtiti. Masche needs to be a staple on our bench until he gets his shit together.

Nearly caused a penalty this match, but otherwise I think he was one of the best players tonight.
