Although against the Port wine were not especially hit and were many the doubts that left the FC Barcelona by the 'forms', the ones of Xavi Hernández have added his second victory in the phase of groups of the Champions League that allows them establish in the highest of the classification, in solitary. They do it with numbers of luxury: six points, six goals in favour and any against. Better that any another team.
The Barcelona group, beside the AC Mian, is the only team that still has not fit goals in the League of Champions. It seemed an utopia for a Barça that has received eight targets in seven parties of LaLiga and that in Europe suffers, especially, to the hour to defend. Against the Port wine, in concrete, suffered more than the account and saw against the ropes in several opportunities -more than which had wanted to-, but the result is what explains: victory and a new goal to zero.
The Barça had fit in eight parties followed
The blaugrana did not link two parties of the liguilla without fitting goals from the season 2017/2018 and supposes an enormous challenge for a Barça that in the last two years had seen to drill his goal in too many occasions. And it is that, such as they remember in 'SPORT', the Barça of Xavi had fit in all his parties like visitor in these last almost two years, went in Champions League or Europe League. It has broken a cycle and a very negative series.
They had been eight the parties in which Marc-André ter Stegen or Iñaki Crag had received goals of consecutive way: three in Munich in the 2020/21, two in Naples, one in Galatasaray and another in Frankfurt, in the Europe League. Later, they fit also in the second visit to the Bayern (2), another in Milan in front of the Inter and two in the house of Viktoria Plzen. In the Old Trafford fit two more. The Barça did not remain with the goal to zero from the visit to Kiev, with Sergi Barjuán in the bench, in the phase of groups of the 20/21.
Step forward of the Barça
It is not a secret for anybody that still there is too much for improving if the Barcelona want to advance of phase in this edition of the Champions League, but the true is that they have fulfilled with one of his so many pending subjects in Europe. Not fitting in two parties, knowing of where comes this Barça and after a clash in which the Port wine lived in contrary field and had merits to annotate, supposes a reason of celebration for the Catalans.
