Barça's capital sin: Not closing matches on time

With a result adjusted, like this the feelings in the field are very good, the FC Barcelona can not allow leave the open parties and invite to the rival to dream. Against the Granada, the blaugrana won 1-0 and presionaron of face to the area of Aaron, but without sufficient danger. They were very upper and the second so much was by 'fall', but finished forgiving a lot of opportunities and the ones of Diego Martínez took advantage of the two that had to trace back the marker and leave to the culés in a very uncomfortable situation of face to the last stretch of the season.

From the goal of Messi until the hour of party, before Darwin Machís equalised the marker, the ones of Ronald Koeman were visibly superiores, but once again in the second part did not achieve to close the result, something that already happened in front of the Getafe and Villarreal. In front of the club 'azulón', the Barça won 3-1 to the rest, a very comfortable result, that left to the culés to half gas in the second part, without practically occasions until the goal of Ronald Araújo, in the 86, when the marker went 3-2. Finally, Griezmann also marked from the penalty spot and achieved a marker that did not reflect all the suffering in the last 45 minutes.

In front of the Villarreal, repeated the libreto. The culés left to the rest with a 1-2 in favour and the feeling to be upper, to jump to the field in the second act without offensive gunpowder, in front of a 'yellow submarine' that began to win metres in the terrain of game and encouraged to incordiar to the Barcelona defence, although without a lot of success. The Barça saw in a very difficult situation, but equally was not able to react and look for the 1-3 to calm the spirits, but the good news was that the Villarreal neither pushed badly and the ones of Koeman carried the three points of The Ceramics.

Until arriving to the crash in front of the Granada, with the same history, but this time with a result against for the culés, that could sentence the party in several opportunities during the second half. Afterwards, with the goal of Darwin Machís, the Barça lost strength in the field and the so much of Jorge Molina was the 'sentence' for a Barcelona group that received a true vase of cold water that complicates, besides, his options in the fight by LaLiga Santander.

The most worrisome, nevertheless, is that it is a situation that has repeated in a lot of opportunities during the season. The most recent was in front of the Cádiz, in the Camp Nou, when the culés won 1-0 comfortably and at the end with a penal caused by Clément Lenglet signed the 1-1 of the 'gaditanos'. Before, in the final of the Supercopa of Spain, happened something similar. The culés won 2-1 and the Athletic equalised the marker in the 90 and traced it back in the extra time, to finish with 2-3.

To the list add him the tie in front of Valencia (2-2) or the defeat in front of the Cádiz (2-1), split in which the command of the Barça was more than clear, but in which no puedieron sentence the crash and remained to the doors of important victories that, without place to doubts, would be key in this point of the season.

The disconnection and failures of the defenders

The ghosts in the defensive saga have not disappeared, all the contrary. This Thursday in front of the Granada the goals of Darwin Machís and Jorge Molina arrived after errors clamorosos of Óscar Mingueza and Gerard Hammered respectively, leaving to full sight that the problems in the low zone of the field, even with the 3-5-2, have not finish .

It can be fault of connection, deconcentration, erorres of juvenile... A history to which Ronald Koeman has not been able to put an end him and that it will have to tackle immediately to avoid that they go back to 'puncture' in any of the last five finals of LaLiga, in which the Barça plays the doublet.
