The same that happened against the Granada, the FC Barcelona went back to go out slept a night more and paid it before arriving to the minute three of party against the Benfica. Darwin Núñez did to madden to all the Stadium of Give Luz and put the 1-0 practically in the first balloon that touched after leaving 'seated' to Eric García, that went back to go out by enésima time this course in another photography in a so much against.
The forward charrúa won the back of the defence of three that took out Ronald Koeman, planted in a one against one against the Spanish defender something escorado to the left and left with ease of him after several bicycles. After the change of rhythm to inside the area, the Uruguayan beat to Marc-André ter Stegen by his stick with a powerful shot and raso in front of which surely the German could do something more.
After the initial hit, the Barcelona reacted with personality and could mark in the 11 the tie by mediation of Luuk of Jong. The Canarian left only to Frenkie of Jong in front of the goalkeeper, the Dutch yielded it to him to his compatriot so that it marked to pleasure without goalkeeper, but the '17' did not finish well and a defence avoided his target throwing to the floor. The shot of the Dutch seemed to go even was, but still like this the action of the defender had a lot of merit.
The own Frenkie could mark another alone a minute after the previous opportunity, but his shot went something diverted when already it sang goal. Another very clear arrival that finish in at all, the same that a far shot of Pedri in the 18, that tested luck from very far commanding the ball went by little. The one of Tegueste was liking in his comeback after lesionarse against the Bayern of Munich and was being probably the best of the Barça.
The Barça did not hit in the first part
In the 27, Memphis Depay went back to approach with danger in an individual action that did not finish well. The Dutch tried to define with the left after a driving something slow and his shot was repelled by a defence, going to corner. No a lot afterwards, the Barça followed his carousel of occasions with another of Luuk of Jong, that was not fine in the definition and commanded it quite diverted in front of Odysseas Vlachodimos, that grieve had work in the first time by the desacierto of the culés.
The Barcelona were not comfortable in spite of the occasions generated and the Benfica held the result. Besides, the lusos put the fear in the body every time that they could with the diabluras of Rafa Silva, the supports of Yaremchuk and the careers of Darwin, that was the big nightmare of the Catalan defence. The charrúa, in fact, demanded timidamente penalti before the rest after a slight push of Araújo, that played it to him.
Second disastrous part of the Barça
In the second part, the Barcelona went out something denser if it fits and, in fact, went the Portuguese those that more near were to mark in the first compasses. Darwin followed his festival and brushed his doublet after surpassing in a far position to the area the inexplicable gone out of Ter Stegen. The Uruguayan recortó as it could to the German and looked for the shot at all more go out of the dribbling, commanding the ball to the stick. The Barça saved of form milagrosa, but not even this espaviló to the blaugrana.
Koeman Saw that the meeting did not go well for his and tried to revolutionise the duel putting three changes at the same time. They went out Philippe Coutinho, Nico González and the wished Ansu Fati by Pedri, Busquets and Luuk of Jong to look for the tie and later the triumph. However, the replacements did not have neither much less an immediate effect and grieve a minute afterwards all they found with a hard hit in shape of goal of the Benfica.
Yaremchuk Threw him a fantastic wall to Joao Mario, that left with a lot of ease of Gavi in the desmarque, and the Portuguese remained only in front of Ter Stegen. The German attained to bale out to the luso and take out his shot with the leg, but the rebound arrived him to Rafa Silva, that defined with a lot of quality with the outside to plant a 2-0 that seemed to be the definite sentence of the Barça.
But the nightmare of the group barcelonista had not done more than beginning. In the 79, ten minutes after the second, Sergiño Dest avoided a finish touching the balloon with the hand inside the area and the VAR did not overlook it. From the room warned to the referee, that did not see the action in direct, and after seeing it repeated in the screen the referee did not doubt it and signalled penalti. Darwin Núñez completed a historical night for him and annotated from the eleven metres with coolness deceiving to Ter Stegen.
The third finished to sink to the Barcelona, that in the last minutes continued his fall in front of a Benfica that went tremendously upper at all times in the seconds 45 minutes. The Portuguese dominated to his antojo in front of a Barça inferior and totally descolocado. After this goleada, the second in what it goes of Champions, to the Barcelona complicates them to a large extent the pass to eighth and will have to win yes or yes to the Dynamo of Kiev the next two meetings to have some option.
