Calendar of FC Barcelona

It had to be he. Ousmane Dembélé. The man that had received more critical in the last weeks and that had received touch of attention by part of the press, of the fans, of the ex footballers and of his own mates. But had one and did not fail it. The French avoided that the FC Barcelona put to bed without the leadership empatando the goal that Diego Coast had achieved for the Athletic of Madrid.

From the start, could attend to a very tactical show and with two rivals that had a lot mutual respect. The group of Diego Pablo Simeone, on the contrary of what could foresee , no presionó up the exit of balloon of the FC Barcelona, but it remained in the cave ordered, with two lines of four to minimise the spaces to the Barcelona.

The duel nourished of a lot of intensity in the duels, but the true is that any of the two teams achieved to generate danger. The Barcelona group accumulated possession and tried to combine in terrain of game rojiblanco, whereas the 'colchoneros' tried to mount contragolpes to surprise to the advanced saga of the FC Barcelona.

The step of the minutes did not serve so that they saw actions stood out. Both teams planteban a serious party, but very little brilliant. The clearest occasion, if it can call like this, was in the boots of Thomas Lemar. Antoine Griezmann launched a contragolpe that finish with an innocent shot of his compatriot that did not cause complications.

The first time finished with bad news for the FC Barcelona, since Sergi Roberto had to withdraw lesionado and agrandó the list of midfield players culés in the infirmary. Few instants were missing to finish the first time, by what Ernesto Valverde preferred to expect to make the change. 

Dembélé Saves to the Barcelona

The second time, already with Rafinha in the terrain of game, began practically of the same form that had finished the first: with an Athletic of Madrid aculado, orderly, and without more ambition that did not go to hunt some contragolpe isolated. The FC Barcelona followed dominating but without ideas, in front of an enclosed and very defensive rival.

In spite of his scarce proposal futbolística, the Athletic of Madrid went back to warn with a clear occasion. Griezmann Took the balloon by the right band, threw an autopase and encaró goal to give the pass of the death. There it expected Diego Coast, but an imperial Gerard Hammered appeared to avoid that the balloon arrived him to his ancient mate of selection.

The Barcelona suffered by the fault of ideas caused by athletic bus. Only Leo Messi achieved to shake the party when had the balloon, but the pressure of the team colchonero closed him a lot of roads of attack. In a played of strategy, the ones of Simeone asked penalti by hands of Arturo Vidal, but the VAR verified that it was not it.

In the minute 77 arrived the goal of the Athletic of Madrid of the only form that the rojiblancos could generate danger: to unemployed balloon. It was in a kickoff of corner bounced by Antoine Griezmann that Diego Coast finished of head at the end of the meshes. It brushed the balloon Marc-André ter Stegen, but could not detain the sending of the Hispanic-Brazilian.

In the minute 90, the FC Barcelona found the clairvoyance through a slight touch of Leo Messi that enabled to Ousmane Dembélé. The French had gone in to revolutionise the party and did not fail in front of Jan Oblak, beating him with a shot raso. It won the pardon and the right to that follow trusting he in spite of his irregularity, since it kept the leadership with his so much.
