Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona​ went back to star another disaster when falling against the Athletic Club in the final of the Supercopa. The culés had the practically won title after arriving to the minute 88 winning 2-1, but Asier Villalibre commanded the meeting to the extention when taking advantage of a capital error of the defence of the Barça and mark to pleasure against Ter Stegen to the little to arrive to the 89 of party.

Already in the extention, the Barcelona saw like Iñaki Williams annotated the so much of the final with a spectacular shot that finish in the square of put it barcelonista. After fitting the 3-2 to the little to begin the extention, the Catalans did not have capacity to react and hardly generated danger in the extra time. The bilbaínos did with the trophy and, for satisfy, Leo Messi finish expelled after assaulting to Villalibre when the crash already was in decline.

The action of the captain culé was more than reprochable and noticed the frustration that carried accumulating all the meeting. The '10' no only finish exasperated by the defeat or by not having his best night, but probably also did it by the attitude of his team during all the final. Because the Barça, in spite of going winning good part of the first time and of the second, neither much less deserved carry this Supercopa.

The group barcelonista jumped to The Cartuja of Seville leaving the feeling that it was not playing any title. The Catalans went out relaxed, without tension and with some apathy that increased the already of by himself enormous confidence that had the Athletic in himself same. The 'lions' went out to bite and surprised to a Barcelona that circulated the ball with a lot of slowness, suffered with the pressure of the Basques and hardly generated danger in all the party.

Because the Barcelona, further of the two goals, practically did not have occasions to mark. In total, the ones of Koeman did 10 shots, with alone 4 between the three sticks. Even the ones of Bilbao, in spite of having less the ball, generated more clear arrivals and threw 4 times to door and other 8 went. In fact, Ter Stegen had to take part in a pair of stops of some merit, whereas Unai Simón practically was of viewer during all the final.

It won the team that more wanted the Supercopa

The barcelonistas were too conformistas and gave the feeling that they thought that they could win to the Athletic with the just. During 88 minutes like this was, but in the football is used to to win who more wants it and who better plan of game has, and in this case there was not colour between both groups. The Basques did not leave to run and to struggle in the 120 minutes that lasted the meeting and finish having his reward. While, the Barça, except some exceptions, was apathetic, tired and did not do the sufficient to carry the title to the Camp Nou.
