The FC Barcelona premières in the UEFA Champions League 2022-2023 with a goleada incontestable in front of Viktoria Plzen and with Robert Lewandowski to the that fall him the goals. The leadership of the group of the death is for the culés
The FC Barcelona plays to another thing when it can run, 'knead' the balloon and connect the centre of the field with the forwards. It becomes a team that gives fear and that few times forgives to his rival. The modest Viktoria Plzen knew it and wanted to plant face in the Spotify Camp Nou, but the superiorities of the blaugrana, added to Robert Lewandowski tireless with the goal, put the scales in favour of a Barça that debuts in the UEFA Champions League liking, with goleada and like leader of the group of the death.
It will go in in discussion that the Czech group was the 'cenicienta' of the group and that the parties that really will define the competitiveness of the Barça are in front of the Inter and Bayern, but the reality is that the group trained by Xavi Hernández -plagado of changes by rotations- has given continuity to the work that came doing in the last weeks and that had resulted in three goleadas been still in LaLiga Santander. Viktoria Plzen was hit and took advantage of his few occasions to put in danger to the blaugrana, but were inferior. And it is that against a group culé so 'enchufado' is normal that was difíciil.
The Barça went out to look for the party, to dominate it and to like in the field. The Czechs to take advantage of the errors and distractions to approach to Marc-André ter Stegen. The plan was smart and had effect very soon: Franck Kessié was the attendant to open the marker to the thirteen minutes after a corner that touched Jules Koundé in the point penalti so that it appeared the costamarfileño in the second stick for cabecear and première like goleador.
The command was absolute, but if there is something true is that the Barça still has a lot that 'take care' to the hour to defend. The history could complicate, but a spark of 'luck' saved the tie in the equator of the first part. Lawrence Visser there was pitado a penal in favour of the visitors by fault of Christensen to Mosquera, but after the review of the VAR determined that it was a fault in attack. The central culé saved of the red and the Colombian saw the yellow.
Lewandowski Is the big difference
And like the wolf that awake when it sees to approach to his prey, the Barça killed the party in the final stretch of the first part, although the Plzen did not give by defeated and tried to follow attacking... Without knowing that Robert Lewandowski, the synonymous of goal, was very inspired and with win to bite. It had warned from the beginning and finish with doublet in the first 45': First in the 34', when Sergi Roberto went in a fast transition and yielded to 'Lewy' so that it controlled, accommodated the balloon in the frontal and nailed it in the arch of Stanek with the interior down and hit to the stick.
It went back to appear to increase the differences in the 45+2', in a jugadón of Dembélé, that lost the balloon, recovered he same and finished putting a 'gift' of centre so that the Pole, in the second stick, finished of head throwing of iron. His goal gave back the tranquility, place four minutes before the Czechs had recortado distances with a goal of Sykora, of head, after a rebound in left band so that it centred Vikanova.
The second began like a formality of a Barça that already had done the duties and a Plzen that saw impossible to do something more in the feudo barcelonista. The party became much slower and without occasions so clear like the ones of the first 45', but with the team trained by Xavi Hernández comfortable, incisive and always activate of face to the rival area.
The ariete Polish signed his 'hat-trick' before the Czechs signed his 'death' in the City Condal. In the 68', a desmarque to inside Ferran Torres, that controlled and left so that Lewandowski hit him with the interior of the foot. Without contemplation for a Plzen that left to row when, to fault of 20' for the end, the one of Foios marked after a pass quirúgico of Dembélé. It took advantage of to turn and pop the balloon of volley. 'Manita', leadership and welcome to the Champions in the Camp Nou.
