The Barcelona dominated and had the possession of the balloon (59%) but yielded the first defeat of this Champions League 2016-2017 in front of a City that knew to play like the best funambulista on the leaf of a knife. The ones of Pep carried the chaos to the green and took advantage of to give three picotazos in shape of goals.

And this that the Barça was master and gentleman of the crash during the first 35 minutes of east. The Barcelona went out very very planted to the terrain of game. With the surprise of André Gomes in the interior, of the boots of the Portuguese were born the best occasions for them. The veintiuno played possibly his best party with the Barcelona and went a puñal for the local defence. coló Until in two occasions in the rival area, one to centre to the heart of the area where did not arrive Suárez and afterwards to go back to put a very dangerous balloon that did not hit to annotate Neymar.

Messi broke the tables with one against of book

In fact, a contragolpe of book of the FC Barcelona afterwards that it recovered Mascherano inside his area. Leo Messi opened from the centre of the field to the left for Neymar, the Brazilian caracoleó and when arriving to the area went back to yield him to the Argentinian in the semiluna. Lio Controlled and coló in front of Knight to beat it with a subtle and precise kick.

The so much left totally grogui to his opponent. So much that first Gomes, afterwards Messi and finally Luis Suárez had the sentence of the same, but did not hit to annotate. Knight saved a played of recreational living rooms, of authentic pinball in which Neymar finish pumping to the small area a balloon that gave in the head of Suárez but that could not go in. And as it is used to say, so much forgive finish paying. When better was the Barça arrived the tie of Gündogan.

The City did king of a crazy crash

This goal was a hard hit for the ones of Luis Enrique that finish asking the hour so that it finished the first time. When going back of changing rooms the things followed the same.

A dangerous fault in the frontal of the area left to Of Bruyne the opportunity to put to his by in front after a latigazo that could not see Ter Stegen for having very populated his barrier.

"I struggle" it did not see the clear things and finish giving gone in to Burn Turan in place of Ivan Rakitic. The Turkish was the elected for comandar the centre of the field and give him pause and tranquility to the team. To the hour of party the culés would have the clearest of the crash. Luis Suárez did him an incredible pipe to the last man of the English defence, yielded to the left for André Gomes that kicked to the crossbar. Jugadón That finish forgotten after the goal of Gündogan in the 73', that came preceded of an assistance with the hand of Agüero.
