1. Messi- Beast mode. Behind most attacking moves, lots of off-ball movement, contributed defensively, unrecognizable from the static Messi of 2013.
2. Iniesta- the other man behind the attacks, always pressuring when Elche was defending behind the ball.
3. Mascherano- cleaning up for others, as he often has to, sacrificing himself to save a probable Elche equalizer in the first half.
Great game all around, clearly a team working together. Busquets needs to watch his oh-so-suave Dean Martin cuteness, the cause of the worst problems for Barça this game.
