The FC Barcelona sacked defending his honour until the last minute, and with the feeling that it is being born a powerful team of face to the future

They split with everything against, the result of gone and his visit to a square complicated added him more weight to the unsustainable load to confront to Paris Saint-Germain. It was not easy, and all knew it. To the FC Barcelona asked him be brave and went it from the alignment; it demanded them propose him to the Parisian picture and did not stop to light the alarms; them clamó for defending the T-shirt by honour and hierarchy, and left the soul on the lawn.

Recover the dignity in Europe from the start was the premise, and went out reinforced in spite of have not been able to do with the pass to chambers. The game deployed by the Barça this Wednesday by the turn of the eighth of final of the UEFA Champions League thrilled to the barcelonismo, to so alone few days after the return of Joan Laporta to the presidency of the club.

The eleven Barcelona warriors jumped to the field to trace back the eliminatory with a training 3-4-3. And during the greater part of the party seeded the fear to the PSG. But the commitment went back to decide in the areas. Mbappé Was more conclusive that Ousmane Dembélé, and Keylor Navas more decisive that Sea-André ter Stegen.

Ronald Koeman had warned it: the Barça needed the best version of his captain, Lionel Messi, and a round party. In spite of that the command in the game did not see turned into the marker, the pride for having developed a big paper, braked the free fall of the team that seemed to not to finish to the start of season. The first part of the party remembered to the best version of the group, and this resulted a divine balsam.

It was a team that left the soul on the field, that rebelled against the varapalo of the gone and against the image harvested of the last seasons. It had to demand the PSG, that besieged the fear in each played, because the Argentinian star comandó the impossible. However, Messi remained half: it annotated an astronomical golazo to 30 metres of distance, but failed a penal in the straight final of the first part that meant a hard estocada for the group. Under the perception of many, the penal could have changed the course of the eliminatory by the envión anímico of the Catalans, and the shock of the venues.

By his part, the French breathed with relief, because it has showed that split like this define by moments. And that, the one of the penal, was of those that decide eliminatory. With the fright in the body, the PSG initiated a second part in which it took a step forward and tightened to the Barça. The change of dynamics cooled the party and prejudiced to the picture culé. It was frustrante for the ones of Koeman, that each minute meant a bigger weight, the one to see that the football is a state of spirit. In addition to that the difference between the two teams is not the one who saw in the Camp Nou, as in that the Barça played with fear by the ghosts that still pursue it in Europe. But everything changed in Paris, did not have at all that lose, freed and played to his best level, went more than the PSG.

New approach

The Barça showed to himself same be to the height of big commitments, as only it was missing him the effectiveness to convert his command. To having taken advantage of each played gestada, would have put in chambers. The traced back then went him of the hands. The epic of the magic nights evaporated , but the team went back to Barcelona with a higher self-esteem. The shame of the last campaigns remained backwards, now is convinced in the new that is being born.

In the middle of the process, to Koeman and to his directed subtracts them LaLiga, more slope up after the victory of the Athletic of Madrid, and the Glass of Rey, where already are in the final. To six points of the picture colchonero, and only to a victory in front of the Athletic of Bilbao to raise his first title of the season. A pair of challenges like prize to the difficult restructuring of a new Barça. A team distinguished that aims to go back to the cusp of the old continent.
