Ivan Rakitić

[EdmondDantes]

Two exquisite finishes tonight. Love him

 

[Observer]

Awesome game Raki

 

[Obiaseti]

He's made up for his recent lackluster midfield showings by scoring goals which considering that we are currently one goalscorer short is welcome. Hopefully this also prompts a return of his midfield dominance from last season as well.

Rakitic confirms after the game that he dedicated his goals to his wife Raquel, who is pregnant

 

[KyletheMuslim]

Answering the haters !, two great goals today and let's all hope this marks a turning point in this season for him personally

 

[barcanuck]

He's backkkk! The Rocket!

 

[Barcaman]

Ironic that he wasn't supposed to play tonight.

Well done for 2 nice goals

 

[Alen]

Beautiful goals. He needs to get back to his level, especially now that everyone's injured.

 

[anguy]

He played on his natural position today - AM with 2 DMs behind him. Like I always said he's much more suited to be second man behind no 9 in 4-2-3-1 than CM in 4-3-3.

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Two great goals. Beast!

 

[Kuchi]

I didn't see the game, only the goals which were great finishes. In terms of control, handling pressure, how was he? Or it wasn't that type of a game where he'd face that?

I'm asking because i'd never doubt his work rate or finishing, but his job description implies control under pressure, quick ball movement and he's been a bit complacent this season.

Suarez's movement on and off the ball for the second goal is just out of this world.

 

[Kinlejus]

I don't think I will ever forget this touch by Rakitic, always knew he would deliver for Barca aswell.
