It is far to play like the angels, but this Barça is very solvent, and in a party without tension and with rotations, has gone back to show that first it marks and afterwards asks. The Champions in 2017 already is history, and the best goodbye has put it Alcácer

They finish the parties of Champions for the FC Barcelona in 2017 and have done it without too much shine but with a promising victory. The Catalans arrived to the Camp Nou with the duties done, and found a triumph that needed the Sporting but that had not solved his penalties. The Juventus won in The Pireo and will be the second clasificacada in a group with Barcelona colour, in which Paco Alcácer painted the goals and Leo Messi the joys.

Revolucióno Ernesto Valverde his alignment for a party with airs of European formality: Several changes by line, the '10' to the bench and Ivan Rakitic to the pivote, in some of the most stood out variations. Without the Argentinian no only changed the football, but also it did it the drawing. It went back the classical 4-3-3 and a more vertical attack and with fewer pauses, although to stand out also is that there were not too many defensive worries.

The party began with the Barça looking to goal and the Sporting looking to the Barça, concerned to cover the rival incursions and go out to a vertiginous rhythm in the contras. In the first 45 minutes Jasper Cillessen was little more than a viewer of luxury, and although it neither had much more work, the one who shined was Rui Patrício. With Denis Suárez and André Gomes braver that of habit, Aleix Vidal had field to run, and Paco Alcácer and Luis Suárez were the receptors of balloons.

It was the Uruguayan the one who gave the greater fright of the first time with a picadita to surpass to Sebastián Coates and a finish with the outside that hit to clear the cancerbero Portuguese, before the duel put slope down and the tension was falling until heights insospechadas. Little public in the Camp Nou and little interest in the field, with ones with the pass resolved and others with too much that dream. It does not know if to the lawn arrived the bad news for the 'isõHim' with the goal of Square after the first chamber of hour against Olympiacos, but the verdiblancos feared too much and did not seem an applicant that played the all by the everything.

Alcácer And Messi, to the rescue

It improved something the intensity after the rest, when Jorge Jesus burned his ships with the entrance of Bas Dost and Gelson Martins. With the swift extreme and the voracious striker had some occasions the Sporting, although the first in killing was one that already is usual in the Barça. Paco Alcácer showed again reason deserves to remain in the Camp Nou, and with a soberbio finish of head surpassed to three defences and a goalkeeper to première his account in the Champions.

The ovation for the Valencian almost melted with which received Leo Messi when going in to the field, but then if that arrived the best opportunity of the meeting for an opponent that topó with Cillessen. The Dutch showed that no only to Ter Stegen can him call saviour and in a finish point-blank of Bas Dost took out a balloon that caused a curious reaction of his compatriot. The forward chained his shot with an embrace to the guardameta, that only could sonreir to appreciate the fulfilled.

With Messi again to the control the Barça change of face and went to look for to Rui Patrício, that still had time to frustrate some attempts of Luis Suárez that it does not find consolation in Europe. A goal in the last 14 parties is a losa too big for a tip that does not finish to find , by a lot that his last performances bead some symptoms of mejoría.

But between started to a side and started to the another the one who went back to fish was the Barça, that not even needs to aim the goals to be able to go up them to the marker. Another connection between the rosarino and Denis Suárez finish with a centre raso of the Galician, and with Alcácer with the ready trigger, the one who put it in the networks was Jérémy Mathieu, that closed a 2017 of Champions that smells to first step for the ones of Ernesto Valverde. In 2018 the competition puts serious.
