- Rakitic in 2015. You just had to be there. He will probably never get the recognition he deserves. Had the impossible job of replacing Xavi, scored important goals, and covered for Messi defensively. Still, there is one fascinating statistic which must be addressed.
- Sometimes things happen for a reason. Barca lost out on Arda Güler. As a consequence of that, Fermín López was given a chance. He took it. One goal and one assist in El Clasico is incredible no matter the circumstances.
