Anyway, this is a good wake-up call. I'd rather we get humiliated early than get totally annihilated on the biggest stage of all. 
Player Ratings:
Buffon: 6 (There wasn't really much he could do; the defense left him exposed)
De Sciglio: 5 (Had a decent effort early on before almost gifting Barcelona a goal prior to limping off)
Benatia: 3 (Disgusting performance and player; I hope we get rid of him in January. He should only be our 5th choice CB)
Barzagli: 4 (Sadly, father time has caught up with Barza. He's slow and old. He should be nothing more than our 4th choice CB at this point)
Alex Sandro: 5 (Crap positioning, but at least he tried to push forward)
Bentancur: 6 (He was ok given the circumstances and the caliber of the opposition. We shouldn't have expected more from him really)
Matuidi: 7 (Along with Pjanic, he was the only one actually trying to make anything happen, especially after a poor opening 15-20 minutes)
Pjanic: 7 (Probably our MOM, but that isn't really saying much)
Douglas Costa: 5 (I wasn't impressed with him. He has pace, but he's not very intelligent)
Dybala: 6 (A quiet night for him; I honestly expected more)
Higuain: 4 (Should've shown that middle finger to himself for his abysmal performance. Slow, sluggish, and out of shape. He shouldn't be starting CL games)
Sturaro: 5 (Damage limitation really; he's a limited player and as long as he doesn't fuck up, which he didn't, then we should be grateful. He's lucky to be playing for Juve, considering he's simply not good enough at this level)
Bernardeschi: 5 (He looked scared and rushed his attempts; he needs to learn how to shoot like a man)
Allegri: 4 (It doesn't seem he learned anything from our utter humiliation at the hands of Real Madrid last season. Now, first place is surely lost, but thankfully qualification hasn't been compromised)

Or even play Dybala as a false 9. I'm actually excited/intrigued by the prospect of seeing a Pjaca-Dybala-Costa/Cuadrado front 3.
