I feel like a traitor

1. Pedro - I thought Pedro looked sharp and focussed and to score a hattrick was great for him and won us the game.
2. Valdes - Another top performance and was neck and neck with Pedro for me.
3. Messi - Looked sharper than previous games and looked to set up others more than score today.

Highly entertaining game, a street fight in a junkyard stadium with a great home crowd, a dubious ref, and an opponent punching above their weight.

Team overall played quite well.

1. Pedrito - right place, right time; as always, excellent at timing his runs; this game, Rayo gave Barça the space that Pedro thrives in. The first goal also required the precise placement that is also a Pedro trademark.
2. Messi - Rayo had no answer for him, and he carved them apart, setting up the first goal and potentially many others.
3. Valdes- must include a defensive player, and Valdes tops the list with his saves that kept Rayo from getting a foot in the game.

Honorable mentions:
Neymar - also created constant problems for Rayo; like Messi, doing the hard work to set up Pedro, and nearly scored himself
Xavi- impeccable game from the maestro; extraordinary, considering Rayo's pressure and the pitch
Mascherano - always the first to read attacking threats in the final third and snuffing out many of them

1. Pedro - how long has it been since he got a hat trick ? Probably forever. Finished everything he got put on his platter! Great service from Leo, Cesc and Neyboy.

2. Valdes - cat like again. Having his best season in recent memory.

3. Messi - when he dropped deep he was the engine that Cesc and Xavi couldn't provide today.

Random fact(s) of the round:
- Pedro became the first player in the history of the rankings not to earn 1st spot when scoring a hattrick.
- Just 3 points were allocated outside of the top3 players, as Neymar, Xavi and Song all earned 1 voting point each.
- Speaking of Song; he was awarded his first voting point of the season, after 181 minutes on the field, courtesy of the user barca1899.
