FC Barcelona 6-0 Athletic - Video summary and goals of the party
Ticket | Gone in for all the parties of the FC Barcelona
The first of the three chapters between FC Barcelona and Athletic of Bilbao initiated this Sunday in the Camp Nou with a previous act: the photography of Leo Messi with the fifth Balloon of Gold of his career, in addition to a gigantic banner in which it could read "Congratulations, Leo!", a text accompanied of an image in which they also remained patents the five prizes of the Argentinian. "Messi, Messi, Messi!", ovacionó the Camp Nou to his big genius, the best player of the world, congratulated also before the party by each one of his mates of the Barça. Smile of ear to ear of the "10", to the one who the homage did not attain descentrar neither a second when Mateu Lahoz gave the pitido initial of the meeting. And it is that the Barça went out like an exhalation, sabedor that Athletic and Real Madrid had goleado in his respective parties of the day and that, therefore, they also had to surpass his commitment in front of the "lions".
The culés had of a first approach to the goal of Iraizoz with Neymar Jr showing his desborde in the left band with a semi-elastic and a back centre, that did not arrive to good port. A minute afterwards, however, an error in the pass of Hammered would cause an unexpected clear opportunity for the Athletic. The central culé delivered the balloon to Of Marcos, the one who encaró to Claudio Bravo and, after surpassing him, did not have too much puntería to the hour to send the balloon at the end of the Barcelona goal, already with everything in favour although Mascherano and Hammered defended put it with the body. The occasion of the Basques would be only a mirage, as two minutes afterwards Luis Suárez received a clear penalti of Gorka Iraizoz after surpassing him with an autopase.
To the Barça puts him the party of face
The referee, Mateu Lahoz, did not doubt to the hour to signal the penalti and neither when teaching the direct red card to the guardameta Basque, perhaps too punishment for an Athletic that would have to survive the 85 following minutes with a player less and, on, the marker against. Leo Messi did not fail the maximum penalty and, thanks to a powerful shot, planted and raso that washed the left stick, achieved to beat to Iago Herrerín that did not cut across the shot although it guessed the side by which throw. After the expulsion and the goal of the Barça, the rhythm and the intensity of the party went down slightly, although the approaches of the ones of Luis Enrique to the contrary area sucedieron one after the other.
Luis Suárez, very active in the first minutes, starred in the 15' of the first-half a shot from out of the area that left diverted above put it of Herrerín. The Barça controlled the possession and the party, but in spite of being with ten men, the Athletic attained to approach to Claudio Bravo and cause some that another corner in favour, showing the will of not to come backwards in spite of having it all against. However, the Barcelona followed dominating during all the first-half the meeting, in a drawing that rather seemed a pediment: the Barça tried to filter balloons to the interior of the rival area and these, repelled, went back to be recovered by the culés, with the will to plant soon the second so much to sentence the party and remove pressure.
The Barça controls, besieges and marks the second
Neymar Jr Could mark in the minute 20, but his control in the interior of the area was too long and afterwards, after dribbling to two defenders, did not attain to require in a shot that cut across the archer. Shortly after they would be Rakitic and Aleix Vidal those who would have of clear opportunities to mark, the first with a shot of volley to pass of Neymar Jr that left high and the second after a confined that culminated with a powerful shot, also diverted. Said played were the presage of what sucedería minutes afterwards, in the 31', when a counterattack led by Luis Suárez would finish with assistance of the Uruguayan for Neymar Jr, the one who raised the balloon above Herrerín to put the second in the electronic.
The FC Barcelona dominated to pleasure and continued having of approaches to the area of the Athletic, especially by the band of an Aleix Vidal that took advantage of his speed and capacity of desmarque to generate a big danger, incisive like a knife nailing in a defence of butter. With the 2-0 in the marker, however, did not have more goals of the FC Barcelona before a rest in which Ernesto Valverde would do all the possible for encouraging to his. The ones of Luis Enrique, satisfied with the double advantage but with the feeling that they could have marked more goals, went to rest conscious that the party was not of the all enclosed.
Rest for Messi and Luis Suárez sentences
The second half began with surprise and worry, since Leo Messi did not jump to the terrain of game and was relieved of the field by Burn Turan, without that in the first-half had had indications that the Argentinian was lesionado or with annoyances. The case is that, can that with the will to reserve to his big star for the gone of Glass of the King 2015-16 against the Athletic in Saint Mamés, Luis Enrique decided not giving entrance to Messi in the second act. The rhythm of game of the FC Barcelona, however, did not reduce. All the contrary. Luis Suárez took advantage of in the minute 46 a good combination in the interior of the contrary area with Neymar Jr to finish to sentence the party, thanks to a hand manually with Herrerín that resolved with a shot raso and placed.
Several played offensive and some that another fault to destiempo after the Athletic, the marker followed with the 3-0 for the FC Barcelona and with the culés attacking without ceasing, to the time that in the media continued the uncertainty on the physical state of Leo Messi, although the Cope issued a first information ensuring that the Argentinian had been substituted by small without importance muscular annoyances. Further of this, on the terrain of game did not have too many novelties. The Athletic did not give by defeated in spite of being entirely unarmed, although few minutes afterwards, in the minute 62, would arrive the fantasy of Neymar Jr.
Suárez and Neymar, teachers of the goal
The Brazilian star made a played of video game, leaving seated in the first place to a contrary defender with a touch and a sprint, later encarando to two opponents more, dribbling them and afterwards assisting to Rakitic so that it annotated with included pipe to the goalkeeper. Neymar Jr desató The ovation deserved of the Camp Nou, but happened many more things in the coming minutes. The first, an unlucky injury of Jordi Alba, that suffered muscular problems in the zone of isquiotibiales and had to relieved of the field by Marc Bartra, with Sergi Roberto playing like left side and having acted already in seven different positions with the FC Barcelona.
After the injury of Jordi Alba, hardly two minutes afterwards Luis Suárez would mark the fifth goal of the party, with a big control with the breast in the interior of the area and a good definition after an aerial assistance very precise of Burn Turan, the second of the Turkish with the Barcelona T-shirt. To fault of little less than a chamber of hour for the end, and after some finish more than the FC Barcelona, Luis Suárez certified his big state of form marking the third in his particular account, a "hat-trick" very meritorio against all an Athletic of Bilbao. It was Sergio Busquets the one who centred from the right band so that, of head, the Uruguayan sent the balloon at the end of the contrary goal. From here at the end of the party, little history more. Some that another occasion more stops Burn Turan and company, without more plot for a first unexpectedly easy chapter for the Barça.
