There were a number of Barcelona’s superstar squad that turned in underwhelming displays and the international press were quick to highlight this with lowly ratings for a host of Ernesto Valverde’s players.French newspaper L’Equipe, who are known for being rather harsh, gave former Liverpool favourite Luis Suarez, who was booed all night for his first leg celebrations, a mark of just 2/10.His fellow ex-Red, Philippe Coutinho, was also slammed by the French media outlet with a 3/10 given to his performance.L’Equipe’s famously harsh ratings have been released for last night’s match2

Lionel Messi was the only player in the visiting line-up to be marked as high as 6/10, with the majority only being rated half that score.Barcelona-based newspaper Marca were, understandably, even more ruthless in their assessments of the team and they rate with a score of one-three stars, but ten of the players did not even get a mark.Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, Arturo Vidal, Sergio Busquets and Messi all collected a one-star rating. Madrid-centric Marcas front page carried the headline Fracaso Historico Historic Failure under a picture of the scoreboard at Anfield.Mundo Deportivos front page headline, meanwhile, simply read Sonrojo, which translates as Embarrassing.
