This is part 2 of the Barca “report card” series, an evaluation of the performance of the Barcelona players and staff.
The plan is to first grade the players individually. From there an overall grade will be given to the team at that position, in this case the midfield. Finally, an overall score will be assigned to the club as a whole with consideration given to the performance of the coaching staff and administration as well.
The motivation here is not to condemn players for a bad season, or to praise others for individual accomplishments.
