This Sunday 15 August to the 20:00 hours the FC Barcelona premièred in front of the Real Sociedad (4-2) in the frame of the Day 1 of LaLiga Santander 2021/22 and without his main star in the last two decades: the Argentinian Leo Messi, the one who already is the new player of the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). A Barça choral was the one who saw in the Camp Nou. The account opened it Gerard Hammered of head in the minute 19' and afterwards followed him the doublet of the Danish forward Martin Braithwaite (45+2, 59) and another so much invoiceed by Sergi Roberto. The conclusive triumph opens the optimism, no only because it showed that the culés can compete without the Argentinian, but because every time that it won him to the 'Txuri-urdines' the domestic championship Spanish was for the Barcelona.
In concrete, in the last four times that the FC Barcelona premièred the season in front of the team blanquiazul finish winning the championship. For example, the Barça directed by Johan Cruyff premièred LaLiga 1991-92 with a triumph by 2-0 in front of the donostiarras, in a season that finish besides with the conquest of the first Glass of Europe for the club in his history, in that in which it was protagonist also the current trainer of the culés, the Dutch Ronald Koeman, author of only goal of the final in front of the Sampdoria.
In the others three opportunities, in the course 1993-94, the Barça goleó to the Real in the debut suspender belt with a 3-0 that carried the authorship realizadora of Romario, in his official debut like culé. Another 3-0 in LaLiga 1997-98, year in which it conquered with the doublet Ties-Glass, with Louis go Gaal in the bench. The last time that occurred the same was the course 2012-13, this FC Barcelona of Tito Vilanova initiated the reconquest of LaLiga with a 5-1 to the Real.
The command of the directed now by Koeman is of scare. Until in 14 times the Catalan duel-donostiarra opened LaLiga, with an alone defeat culé (3-2 in the 1974-75), eleven triumphs by two ties. It is thus, that the illusion is maximum in spite of the grey days that have lived in the club with the exit of Messi, to the one who already sees him happy in Paris and has turned into another rival more than the blaugranas, that in this season will look for to recover a Spanish championship that has been them elusive in the last two seasons.
The assessment of Koeman
"Always it is important to begin LaLiga and win home. And by what has happened lately. It was important to give a good image and win. In the first half hour have been fantastic in the game with balloon and also in the recovery of balloon. Afterwards they have complicated us a bit, with the first goal of the Real Sociedad and with the fault of the 3-2, where only can applaud, but have finish winning. With what have seen in the lawn, can be happy", that was the analysis done by Koeman after finish the meeting contested in the Camp Nou.
