Liverpool 4-0 Barcelona: Former Reds Philippe Coutinho and Luis Suarez slammed by L’Equipe in famously harsh player ratings
Barcelona players have been savaged in the media after they surrendered a three-goal lead to lose against Liverpool and miss out on a place in the Champions League final in Madrid.Divock Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum both struck twice as Liverpool stunned the LaLiga holders 4-0 in one of the competition’s greatest ever comebacks.The Reds will play the winner of the other semi-final between Ajax or Tottenham in the June 1 showpiece in Madrid.2

Luis Suarez endured a tough return to his former stomping ground

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.2

L’Equipe’s famously harsh ratings have been released for last night’s match

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.
