He Barcelona played a fantastic first half hour of football against Ray Vallecano and from there he had to suffer before an opponent who knew how to look for the tickles entering the bands. Endured the Barca team until the end to achieve a triumph that returns to LaLiga leadershiptied to points with Real Madrid and only one above the Athletic. 14 games remain and everything to decide. 14 games in which you will surely talk about the referees in this dynamic in which the championship has entered.
They had much to whistle Melero López on the lawn and Díaz de Mera in the VAR room, decisions that have many nuances. Lewandowski’s goal came from a penalty, indicated from the screens. Pathé Ciss’s grab to Iñigo Martínez is indisputablebut these types of actions always leave the feeling that the weight is beaten, some yes and others not (in an almost traced play in Getafe, it was not), and that leaves the feeling of defenselessness or double error to the harmed team . There were other less forceful grabs, in the Barcelona area, which stayed there.
The reproachable thing in the goal annulled with fruits that the draw would have meant before the break is that Melero López was not going to value what happened. The offside was NTAKA, who blocked the passage of Iñigo Martínezwhich may have come to clear. But it is an interpretation action, not an illegal position of the man who ends, situations in which automatic out of play is used and there is nothing more to talk about.
That goal of the Madrid came at a time when they were demonstrating why they are one of the Fashion teams in LaLiga. Barcelona began dominating clearly. The Flick set in which the rivals atosiga and barely lets them leave their field is attempts. It goes once, and another and another. He pressed well and attacked a lot, but Batalla won the game to Raphinha and Lamine Yamal in the hand in hand. They were clear opportunities. The goal, already deserved for play, came with the penalty commented before, but did not have the desired effect on the Barca, which gradually went. Rayo found the path of Barca goal by fast trackwith the second -line starts of ISI, which marked a great game, combining with Álvaro García, the best of his, and fruits. In more direct and rapid balls he broke the strip team the pressure and found the road. I already touched the matched one, but Szczesny reacted skilled. The Frutos goal was canceled.
Lightning began with the same intention after the break. Isi or Álvaro were offended and did a lot of harm in their arrivals on the sides before the advanced defense. They found highways. I had well studied the way to attack Iñigo Pérez. Pedri put the replica with a good handful of tricks, dribbles and passes, and the entry of Dani Olmo added another element of danger. But The game no longer had an owner and began to go from side to sidefor the taste of the ray and concern of Barcelona, which this time did not have the lethal version of Raphinha before the goalkeepers. The Brazilian did not stop offering himself, running and fighting, but this time he failed in the auction. The local team had more options, which he could sentence, although something clumsy was in the last meters, but the ray maintained an important share of arrivals. If Batalla stopped Raphinha Oa Dani Olmo, Szczesny also had to intervene at a very close to Frutos, after another of Álvaro’s races.
Fruits also had the last one in a header, this time to Embarba pass, which he reached too forced. Barcelona did not breathe until the final beep arrived, shortly after a corner in which even the goalkeeper Battle rose to finish off.
