1. Valdes- no question, MOTM. Crucial saves; if one mistake, game over.
2. Xavi- near flawless. Untouchable. Knows exactly how much pressure is on him, and always releases the ball perfectly onto a teammate's foot. No other player come close.
(also loved his control in the box, pulling a ball out of the air and nearly set up a goal)
3. Pedro - set up the best chance in the game by drawing a foul.
HM: Alves, for outgaming Atletico and drawing the red card on Felipe Luis

(who was clearly trying to game Messi all night).
Iniesta was calm and cool, didn't really have enough time to work up a head of steam.
Barça players REALLY need to take shots sometimes inside the box instead of looking for that final 1-2 pass.
