Raphinha Signals the way in front of The Palms to a Barça without gunpowder (1-0)
A STUCK BARÇA WAS KNOWN TO RESOLVE THE MATCH
The FC Barcelona resists to give the domestic title and has signed a new victory that can be decisive, waiting for what happen with the Real Madrid. The blaugrana have imposed to the UD The Palms in a clash in which, by stretches, saw very atascados. It was not the most brilliant night of the team, but the perserverancia of Raphinha, that saw how cancelled him a goal and failed two clear, went the key so that the three points remained home.
The Barça follows ‘put’ of full in the career by LaLiga and against The Palms were forced to leave an image convincente to the return after the stop of selections. Xavi Hernández had his more competitive alignment —with the only novelty of the titularity of Iñigo, by in front of Araújo— to look for three points of gold. They confronted to a party ‘crazy’, especially in the first-half, in which it cost them more than the account generate advantages in the electronic in spite of playing with one more from the half hour.
The Barça, atascado against ten rivals
The blaugrana, from very soon, had occasions of all the colours to advance in the marker. Although The Palms showed a very brave version, presionando constantly, sinned with losses ‘silly’ that invited to Robert Lewandowski to test luck in two occasions in the first minutes, without results. The history seemed directed when, to the 20 minutes of the first part, Fermín López commanded a pass to the space, that tried to contest Lewandowski, with direction to a Raphinha offside. The Pole did not arrive to touch the balloon and, in spite of the good definition of the Brazilian, Busquets cancelled the target after query with the VAR.
The played finish being quite controversial, but did not finish there. Three minutes afterwards, Álvaro Fence in arrived late in his attempt to clear a pass to the space to Raphinha and finish committing a very hard entrance that cost him the direct expulsion. The UD remained with ten very soon and invited to that the dynamic changed: The Barça became the only dominador and added occasions of constant way. Lewandowski Had the clearest with a finish with the shoulder, only, that touched in the crossbar after taking advantage of a centre of Cancel. Fermín also had his opportunity after a pass filtered of Cubarsí to Gündogan, but the shot of the ’16’ did not find goal.
The ’11’ culé, that was very active, could not take advantage of a pass of Cancel and sent a finish very crossed that it could suppose the 1-0 easily. The Palms had big problems to keep the possession and only arrived to concern to Marc-André ter Stegen with a direct free shot, effected by Coco, that left went by very little. It did not change too much the history in the resumption, but the Barça himself that was little clear when it put in the area of Aarón. Raphinha Had two approaches before being the attendant to open the marker before the hour of party.
Joao Félix opened the way for the victory of the Barça
The ‘effect’ of Joao Félix in the field, that had gone in to replace to Fermín five minutes before, noticed more than the account. The Portuguese drove and filtered a pass hammered, measured, so that connect with a powerful head butt of Raphinha, that ‘avenged’ after the goal that had cancelled him in the first-half. It was the ‘prize’ for which more had tried it during the night in Montjuïc.
In spite of going by in front in the marker, the Barça did not retard lines and kept in research to burst into in him rival area, in front of a Canarian picture that only was able to surpass the half of the field with a contragolpe that finish with Jules Koundé cutting an attempt of pass filtered of Javi Muñoz to Sandro. The ones of García Pepper finished suffering the inferiority of players and cost them, more than the account, contest him the balloon to the culés. Meanwhile, Ferran Torres had his chance with a derechazo inside the area that repelled Escandell ‘in extremis’, although it finish being invalidated by position irreglamentaria.
The Barça says that yes there is League
To fault of eight parties for contesting and waiting for what can happen with the Real Madrid this Sunday against the Athletic Club, in Santiago Bernabéu, the Barça resists to give the title by stray. The difference is of ‘alone’ five points and the battle seems that it will be opened untilthe fine l, with a Classical —on 21 April, in Chamartín— of by half. The ones of Xavi Hernández keep ‘enchufados’ in the most decisive stretch of the season and want to dream in big.
