The Real Valladolid went out 'contestón' to the Camp Nou and surprised in the first part to a FC Barcelona that showed his worst expensive in quite a lot of weeks. The Barcelona did not find his usual rhythm of game and suffered against a group vallisoletano that felt comodísimo in the first 45 minutes. The ones of Sergio González incomodaron a lot to the culés and had several of the most dangerous arrivals of the meeting until the intermediate.

Kenan Kodro Was to centimetres to mark the 0-1 in the minute 9 after a big lateral centre that the Basque finished with power of head from inside the area. The ex of the Athletic Club commanded his head butt of full to the crossbar of the goal of Marc-André ter Stegen. The German already was entirely defeated, by what the Barça saved thanks to the wood and the result did not move in the first compasses of the crash.

The Barcelona was uncomfortable and only worked to chsipazos, but still like this could have been very near of the goal if the referee signals penalti on Sergiño Dest in the 22. The defence of the Valladolid touched to the side to the edge of the area, but neither the referee neither the VAR saw infringement and the played happened to the history. Shortly after, Roque Table went back to warn to the Barcelona with a confined that commanded above the crossbar.

The party directed to the rest with the 0-0, but in the last minutes of the first part the Barça began to work something better and had a pair of clear arrivals. In the 41, Leo Messi did not hit in his finish after a good left of Dembélé that the '10' commanded to the legs of a defence. No a lot afterwards, in the discount of the first time, Pedri had the clearest opportunity of the culés in the first time with a good shot from out of the area that stopped between Masip and the stick.

The meeting opened in the second half and the group barcelonista had more arrived and clear options to open the marker. But in spite of this, went the Valladolid the first in approaching seriously and put the fear in the body. Lucas Olaza went of two in the left, put in the area and commanded the balloon to the side of the network with a good shot with the left-handed that could have turned into the first of the crash.

Dembélé Decided the duel 'in extremis'

But in spite of this occasion, the Barça was to more in the seconds 45 minutes and an instant after the arrival of the Uruguayan side Ousmane Dembélé and Antoine Griezmann could mark the 1-0. First it was the French the one who put to proof to Masip after a big pass to the gap of Messi, but the Catalan goalkeeper took out a big hand and avoided the target of the Frenchman. In the rebound, the 'Principito' cabeceó at first desperately, but his head butt was went by centimetres.

Koeman, that to the rest decided to leave two head offices and 'go up' to Of Jong to the centre of the field to create superiority, around the hour of party threw the house by the window with the changes and put all what had on the lawn. The Dutch took out to Braithwaite and Trincao, in addition to to Araújo, and remained with alone Frenkie and Pedri in the midfield looking for the longed for goal of the victory, that was resisting .

The changes achieved to shut something more to the Valladolid, but did not attain that the Barça created true feeling of danger. The duel was going in in his straight final with the tie to zero and to the Barcelona at least smiled them the fortune with the expulsion of Óscar Flat in the 79. The midfield player of the pucelanos went to the street for surprise of many after a hard entrance by behind that seemed of yellow, but that the referee appreciated like red.

The barcelonistas needed the victory to depend on yes same to win LaLiga, but the vallisoletanos held estoicos the 0-0 with numerical inferiority. Luckily for the Catalans, the ones of Sergio could not hold the charged culés to the end and in the 90 Dembélé took advantage of a rebound inside the area to mark with a powerful zurdazo the target of the triumph. A so much importantísimo that decided a tremendously complicated crash that leaves to the Barça to a point of the Athletic of Madrid.
