One of the phrases that repeat the champions is that you also have to win when you play badly or it is worse than the rival. He Barcelona It was lower than Newcastle For many minutes of the game, but the meeting ended with an almost loose marker, as if the match had been a walk. But the team of Flick He has found in Joan Garcia to a goalkeeper as decisive as his strikers. When the Newcastle He squeezed, and did it seriously, the goalkeeper appeared when he had to do it. Then, with the score to zero in the second part, it was Rashford who took command of his team to complete what the goalkeeper had saved.
The first auction at the door of Barcelona It was the head of the English player, in the 57th minute. What happens is that he went to goal. Everything that had built the Newcastleall the indefatigable effort, the races, the waves, the enthusiasm of the stands, were nothing, in a terrible feeling of impotence when Rashford came to the clean pass of Koundé And crossed the ball.
For Lamine Yamal’s decline
The British had not to have played or at least, his participation in the party if Lamine Yamal I would have been shape. But without the Spanish star, Flick placed a Raphinha In its place already Rashford On the Brazilian side, with Lewandowsky of center striker. It worked. That is, it worked because the Barcelona He ended up marking on the first occasion and had and ended up taking the game. Did the Barcelona so? The truth is not quite. He knew that the English team was going to squeeze him, but what he did not expect is to be for all time. Not all the time was a storm. Especially the first ten minutes of the first time, but later, with Barcelona, through Pedri and Of Jongtrying to have the ball more and, without looking a lot forward, make the minutes pass. It is true that that calmed a rival who wanted to play on and that for 57 minutes he did not feel a scary asom Barcelona.
He surprised that he was not holder Woltemadethe footballer who caused the most sensation in the English team, but the plan was that they were starting from behind in the band that broke the advanced line of Barcelona. They were more attempts than achievements, but in a couple of times, it did break Araujo and Koundéleaders back. But then, when it was needed, it appeared Joan Garciawhich is being imposed as a signing that can be decisive for the Barcelona This course.
A vertiginous Newcastle
The problem of Newcastle It is that all enthusiasm, that unparalleled support of the stands and being better than the rival did not help him to get enough revenue, only in the end when the discount already started and carried two goals against two goals. He wanted to play with vertigo, perhaps he thought it was the only way to overcome the rival. He played one hundred percent all the time and that remained precision. It was seen in several of the corner kicks that carried out. They wanted to do them in two plays and there was no way that it would work out.
The rest served for the Newcastle Take air to go out in the second half with the same brio as in the first. The plan was clear. It had been seen in the center serve, the one that Luis Enrique has done so in the PSG and that consists of hitting a ball forward, so that the ball goes out through the band, near the rival area. It has become fashionable and betrays what modern football is: better press than start playing. It does not give to draw good conclusions that phrase.
The goal gave the dominance to Barcelona
He Newcastle He warned, then, that he was going to bite and the second part imitated in his beginning the first minutes of the first. But this time it lasted ten minutes, almost nailed. At ten, the Barcelona He managed to build a sense with meaning by the right attack: Koundé He had time to think about the pass and defense that covered Rashford discovered, too late, that he had taken a step back with the one he had left alone Rashford. He turns his head alone and door.
He too, with him Barcelona Already with the ball, the air, Pedrithe field without so much noise, scored a goal from outside the area. Rashford spent the summer almost pleading with arriving in Barcelona but only the final resignation of Nico Williams left him room on the team.
In the premiere in the Champions He made it clear that it can be a signing with things to contribute. Now Flick You will have to decide who will leave on the bench.
Meanwhile, in England, the Newcastle gave an example of constancy. He scored somewhat and launched the last shot. He wanted to believe, but in his team he did not play Rashford.
