A goal of Ousmane Dembélé in the minute 52 sufficed to the FC Barcelona to access to the semifinals of the Glass of Rey (1-0). The ones of Xavi Hernández attained to sustain the zero home in a party in which, although they dominated the greater part of the time, finished suffering in front of the Real Sociedad by fault of puntería and distractions backwards. However, the triumph remained home and the culés advance, beside the Osasuna, in the day copera of the Wednesday.
In an authentic exhibition of 'Dembouz', lyou of Imanol Bailiff suffered all the crash the desbordes of the '7' and, besides, had to play with ten from the minute 42 by the deserved expulsion of Brais Méndez. Alexander Sorloth wasted a very clear in the complement and Robert Navarro followed suit on the end after an incredible failure of Marc-André ter Stegen. Like this it went them to the culés in front of the group 'txuri urdin'.
Ter Stegen
The German had a relatively calm party until the minute 87, when a bad delivery to Sergio Busquets was about to to wrap it seriously in the Spotify Camp Nou. Luckily for the venues, the German redid and attained to block with the shoulder the finish of Robert Navarro. In the discount, a finish of Jon Ander Olasagasti after a corner found him very stopped to avoid the lengthen.
Jules Koundé
It returned to the right side and went back to surrender to good level. The Real attacked little in the first time, although Takefusa Kubo was about to to open the marker on the half hour of game after a good played individual that culminated with a finish to the crossbar. In the 52', the Frenchman enabled to his compatriot with a good pass filtered to the space that Dembélé commissioned to turn into the only so much of the party.
Ronald Araújo
Only it had a distraction in all the party that Sorloth wasted of form inexplicable. Always very situated, the Uruguayan was again the leader of the saga during the 90 minutes. In the first part, literally cancelled to Mikel Oyarzabal and, beside Andreas Christensen, lució safe in front of a team that attacked very little during the statutory time.
Andreas Christensen
The Danish follows winning whole to consolidate like titling in the eleven of Xavi Hernández. Solid in the aerial game, also lució sure by low, giving calm exit to the team in an initial stretch where the Real procured to cancel him spaces to the group blaugrana. It was substituted on the end by his mate in Chelsea, Marcos Alonso, the one who grieve played the discount.
Alejandro Balde
The canterano begins to be a fixed for the big appointments and, in front of the Real, went back to answer with a solid performance. The side projected with frequency to combine with Gavi by left, doing a tandem that created serious problems to the Basques during good part of the meeting. Raphinha Substituted him in the 78' and the Barça yielded spaces by his band in the final stretch.
Sergio Busquets
The captain received the fault that caused the expulsion of Brais Méndez just after a his entrance that Jesús Gil Manzano overlooked. When the Real contragolpeó, the '5' lució slow in the shrinking, especially when Frenkie of Jong projected a lot in attack. Because of the physical of the complement finish admonished and melted, but Xavi held him the 90 minutes.
Frenkie Of Jong
The one of Arkel wasted a very clear in the beginning, arriving late to a pass crossed of Dembélé. Before it had diverted offside a finish to goal of Robert Lewandowski and, on the end, yielded an innocent corner that almost costs the tie. Imprecise and inopportune, the Dutch had one of his worst parties of the season.
Pedri
The '8' was the best of the midfield of the Barça, although it was missing him more determination to step the area. His change lit the alarms in the Camp Nou, as it left rengueante in the minute 77 after a crash that, luckily, did not happen to greater. Beside Gavi, contributed harp and tactical fluidity while it was in the field, although it did not go his best party. To the equal that Busquets, finish admonished.
Gavi
Beside Ousmane, was the one who more tried it during all the party. The one of The Palaces and Villafranca had a finish to the crossbar in the first time and went back to be the engine of the Barça to recover fast the balloon and desequilibrar to the rival. Xavi gave him back to the attack as in the Supercopa and, although it did not mark neither assisted, the Camp Nou recognised the wear of Gavi during the 90 minutes.
Dembélé
The 'MVP' of the party without discussion. In addition to the goal did what wanted by right, desbordando to look for to his mates in the area. In the played of the so much, all expected the pass to the half for Lewandowski and the '7' broke him the arch to Álex Remiro with a derechazo imparable. Xavi replaced him in the 76' so that the Camp Nou recognised his big performance.
Lewandowski
The '9' had bad fortune in the initial stretch, converting a so much very cancelled by offside of Frenkie. The Wednesday did not have a lot of opportunities and, in his reunion with Jesús Gil Manzano, saw a so much accelerated in the first minutes. In the complement played looser to try associate with Pedri and Gavi, without May fortune of face to the contrary arch.
Raphinha
Ingresó By Balde in the 74' to try clear the party in front of a Real Sociedad worn out by the numerical inferiority. However, the Brazilian participated little in the game and his contribution was almost invalid in a final stretch in which, against all prognosis, the visitors were those that brushed the so much of the tie. The performance of Dembélé seems to condemn him to the bench for the next weeks.
Franck Kessié
ingresó In front of the annoyances of Pedri and weighed little in the midfield culé. The characteristics of the party gave him opportunity to arrive more to the area, but the Barça generated scarce occasions in the final stretch and the marfileño, when it had to choose, was not fine in the resolution. With the diagram of four means would have to have more opportunities, more when Raphinha and Ferran follow without answering.
Ansu Fati
His change was sung for the last 15 minutes, but the doubts blaugranas deep down forced him to help more in defence that in attack in the final stretch. Still like this, it saw participatory and solidario in an already broken party from his entry in the minute 74. The Saturday would have to have more minutes in Girona in a party in which, sure, will have several rotations.
Marcos Alonso
Ingresó In the discount by Christensen. After the World-wide, the Danish has won him the place in the eleven and, for the moment, has more options to play like head office that like side. However, his renewal is when falling and will keep on being important for Xavi in front of the tightened of the calendar. The Saturday also would have to add more minutes in an a priori uncomfortable visit in front of the Girona.
