It had it everything of face the Barça to give a snack to LaLiga in Mestalla and almost goes out trasquilado. After the referees ate a legal goal of Messi was Valencia the one who advanced , but the '10' found to Jordi Alba to save the final tie

That the leagues are very long is a sentence that has not tired to repeat Ernesto Valverde, but surely did not imagine that the first fright for the FC Barcelona would arrive in a so surrealist party. The Catalans matured to a Valency that descosía and annotated in the first time, but the referee forgot to validate it and desató the madness in the second, where resurrected the venues and conquered the marker. When more they suffered the Barcelona appeared Messi and Jordi Alba, that saved a tie that well can cost a title.

The 4-4-2 of Ernesto Valverde every time gives better results, and if with the Seville already saw to a team convinced, in Mestalla showed that the group culé wants to grow and move away this boredom that say that it transmits. Pass to pass was taming the resistance of the ones of house, bulliciosos to the start and very quiet after some minutes, with an exercise tremendo of recovery after loss. All the registers of the party smiled to the visitors, with Paulinho combining with Messi and launching the first warning to the goal of Net.

It consigns it of the meeting was very clear, Valencia wanted to run and the Barça no. It had insisted the Txingurri in that it was necessary to tame to the relentless counterattack 'che', and his pupilos applied it to perfection. Patience in the preparation to brake an impetus that was desinflando and the '10' directing the operations escorted by the Brazilian, that broken around the Argentinian to give him a support in all the played, already was offensive or defensive.

Of less to more built his command the barcelonistas, until to the half hour arrived the played key of the clash. The latigazo of Leo Messi from the distance no it blocó Net, that ate the rebound between the legs and a balloon that rebasó the line of a way more than clear. They saw it the visitors, that went to celebrate it, and the venues, that remained stopped after his goalkeeper palmeara the ball. But those who did not see it were the linesman, very bad placed, and the referee, that trusted wrongly in his assistant.

In case it was not sufficient, could finish the Valency in the against back, although the kick of Zaza went out diverted far of the goal of Ter Stegen. The party, that was dominated by the Barça, opened suddenly until to the rest, with the ones of Marcelino, that saw it from the terracing, desperezándose and recovering the initial intensity.

It saves Jordi Alba

As it finish the first time began the second, with the blanquinegros harassing to a team that lost his defensive concentration and paid it too expensive. What had to be another commitment solved complicated by moments with Guedes doing of his and the offensive power 'che' reluciendo more than ever. In one of those found hollow Gayà, that put until the kitchen and served him a perfect pass to Rodrigo that it did not forgive.

In the small area failed everything. The flawless Ter Stegen, practically unpublished in the party, did not arrive to touch the sending, and to Thomas Vermaelen, without too much suffering until then, him escurrió the forward that put the just the foot for derrumbar the terracing of Mestalla, that recovered with a roar of the silence that was dominating it.

They arrived then the worst moments of the ones of Valverde, that remained noqueados and did not wake up neither with the changes. Too many imprecisions of headlines and acting, with Leo Messi losing the tarpaulin and with a Deulofeu that went out cold, fallón and desconectado. With a rival that took advantage of his despair, was losing all the shine accumulated the Barça, whose second part was notably inferior to the first.

But what converts to the rosarino in a player of another world is that it is able to resolve parties out of nowhere, and of his feet went back to arise a goal that can cost a title. If his pass hammered was wonderful, better was the finish of Jordi Alba that is in a moment of glorious form. They remained a lot of minutes by in front and anybody surrendered until the pitido final, with several occasions in each goal that could break the duel until the discount. The marker did not move and LaLiga neither, with a leadership in four points and Madrid and Athletic to eight.
