Lewandowski Leads with a 'hat-trick' the traced back in front of the Valency of a Barça

The FC Barcelona adds three vital points to go back to the second position of the championship, but with too much suffering and allowing a lot of errors. The ones of Xavi Hernández 'saved' the night with Robert Lewandowski that annotated a very necessary 'hat-trick', in front of a Valency that played with ten players during more than 45 minutes and that demanded more than the account to the Barcelona in the Estadi Olímpic Lluí Compannys.

The Barça faced the visit of Valencia like a 'final' in this decisive stretch of LaLiga EA SPORTS 2024/2024, by all what there is at stake on the table. It had not surprised the election of protagonists by part of Xavi Hernández, that had thrown of his indisputable for the night in Montjuïc. Fermín López was the big novelty of the XI to accompany to Christensen and Gündoga, dressing of the 'relief' of Frenkie of Jong. In paper, the plan was quite clear, but has not been a history 'simple' for the Catalans.

The Barça, of the absolute control to the errors 'garrafales'

And it is that in the first-half of the meeting lived one thousand 'mini' parties and was marked by the errors garrafales of the guardametas, in both edicts. Marc-André ter Stegen allowed an error that derived in the tie and, later, Mamardashvili left to his with ten players to the edge of the rest in an attempt of clear, out of the area, in which it finished touching the balloon with the hand. It was not the night of the goalkeepers.

In any case, the crash was by parts and left several details. Xavi celebrated, very early, how his plan had positive results. The Barça did with the reins of the possession very soon and planted in the field 'ché' without resistance. Fermín López appeared like the midfield player with more mobility and appeared inside the area in reiterated opportunities. Of there, it was born the goal: Raphinha sent a precise centre to the area for the apparition of the midfield player that, surpassing to the two head offices, jumped to command a powerful shot and open the marker. It aimed, in paper, to a calm night.

With balloon, the Catalans did not have problems, but saw in aprietos every time that Mamardashvili sent a balloon in long for the apparition of one of the attackers. It did not take advantage of it, at the earliest opportunity, Peter, but in the Hugo Last no desaprovechó with 'help' of a Ter Stegen that, in his attempt to clear, gave the spherical so that the forward put the tables six minutes afterwards.

Night very 'moved' in Montjuïc

It was not the only error of the Barça, in any case. Valencia was taking advantage of enormously of the fast transitions to cause the danger in the area culé and Ronald Araújo fell in the cheat with Peter. It precipitated too much in his attempt to cut the action and finish arrollando to the footballer 'ché' inside the area. Pepelu No desaprovechó from the eleven metres and 'sentenced' to Ter Stegen. The first part finish, as if it was little, with the expulsion of Mamardashvili after touching the balloon, out of the area, with his hand.

If the first 45' were become, in the resumption did not change the history, after the 'retouchings' of Xavi in the XI, with Iñigo and Sergi Roberto. Robert Lewandowski signed the tie to the five minutes, after taking advantage of a centre of Ílkay Gündogan. It knew how anticipate to surpass to his mark and send a shot crossed, although there was controversial by the position of Fermín López, that was reviewed by the VAR to check that it was correct and no 'took part' against of Domènech.

The Barça, taking advantage of of the superiority of players and of the verticality 'injected' in the team, was much more comfortable in the first compasses of the second half, although Valencia did not hide and merodeó the area of Ter Stegen in several opportunities, although without the resource of the long passes of Mamardashvili lost a 'bullet' very important. Hugo Hard combed the esferico to find to Peter, but the one of Mönchengladbach anticipated to time. The culés reacted with an approximation of Lewandowski, but Mosquera put the leg so that the Pole could not turn.

The Barça shut to Valencia in his field... And it survived in the madness

By inertia, Valencia finish shutting in his field in the final stretch of the party. The Barcelona merodearon the area, tightened and forced to his rival to defend en bloc very low, but without the capacity to generate clear occasions. The ones of Stirs know very very what is 'take out' the wall in his area and took out advantage to contain to the Barça and sustain the result. Araújo Had the clearest with a head butt that took out Domènech 'in extremis' for propiciar a contragolpe almost lethal that left to Diego López in mouth ofgoal , but a very good apparition of Pedri (in his first touch), launching to the floor to avoid the finish, the Barça finish saving.

The Catalans, that were those who split with more responsibility, went back to dump to the area, but without lights. Lewandowski Sinned of 'selfish' in an action in which it finish defining he, with difficulties, when had to Gündogan alone to his left, and afterwards was the own Teutonic the one who tested luck with a finish from the frontal that covered Yarek. To the following, there was not 'remedy' for the 'ché': To the exit of a new corner, the '9' took advantage of a balloon died in the area to push it with the head and sign his doublet... And the victory of the culés.
