The bad series of the FC Barcelona extended also to the Champions League: the culés fell goleados against the Juventus and yielded the first position of his group
The nightmare of the FC Barcelona no longer is only in LaLiga, but also it moved to the Champions League. The ones of Ronald Koeman were not able to defend the two goals of advantage that awarded him the first place of his group and fell goleados in front of the Juventus of Turín, that won thanks to two goals of Cristiano Ronaldo of penalti and another of Weston McKennie.
The FC Barcelona initiated the party with a pair of possessions that, although they did not have too danger, himself that auguraron that the culés would try to go back to be full dominadores against the Juventus. But all was a mirage because the Italian group did not take in adueñarse of the complete control of the party and some dangerous approach as, for example, a punterón of Cristiano Ronaldo that it was too centred.
The second balloon that the ex forward of the Real Madrid touched inside the area turned into a calamitoso penalti of Ronald Araújo that only saw the referee Tobias Stieler. Cristiano Ronaldo, that had converted a 'piscinazo' in gold for the Juventus, did not fail from the eleven metres and deceived to Marc-André ter Stegen beating him with a shot by the centre that opened the tin.
It did not detain the Juventus of Turín, that followed tightening up to approach to a favourable stage for the classification. The second goal would not take in arriving and, in the minute 20, Juan Squared and Weston McKennie contrived a big played to put the second goal: the North American opened to band for the Colombian, that with a temperate centre went back to find to the American, that finished of volley.
The dramatic start of the FC Barcelona gave wings to a Juventus that, after the second so much, decided to save the forms in defence taking into account that it remained them all a second time by in front to annotate a third goal that gave the first place. A pair of occasions of Leo Messi and of Miralem Pjanic could recortar differences, but Gianluigi Buffon hardly felt loomed by them.
The Juventus complete the goleada
The drama still agrandó in the start of the second time, in which the first possessions of the FC Barcelona did not intimidate to a Juventus that would not take neither five minutes in marking the third goal by mediation of another penalti: Clément Lenglet touched the balloon with the hand in small area and Cristiano Ronaldo went back to show that it is almost infalible from the fateful point.
With three goals against and a FC Barcelona without soul, Ronald Koeman seemed resignarse and treat to minimise the damages of face to the eighth of final substituting to the two admonished -Clément Lenglet and Jordi Alba- to protect them of face to a hypothetical expulsion. With the entrance of Riqui Puig, the Dutch technician treated to agitate the party to look for the miracle.
It improved the FC Barcelona with the changes and arrived the occasions although no the goals. Leo Messi brushed the goal with a shot from the frontal, Antoine Griezmann commanded to the limbo a frank volley from the interior of the area and Riqui Puig neither connected a good shot after a manoeuvre of the frances. Martin Braithwaite also had his with a shot raso that the defence diverted to kickoff of corner.
The FC Barcelona followed it trying in front of a Juventus shut in defence -after the third goal, only intimidated with a goal cancelled to Leonardo Bonucci by offside- with some shots from out of the area, but found with Gianluigi Buffon inspired and sure. The party was in decline without that the culés could avoid a very hard defeat that moves them until the second place of his group.
