FC Barcelona reacted in time to win against Betis and mathematically qualify for the Champions League. Ansu Fati and Jordi Alba marked the differences on the scoreboard
The visit of the FC Barcelona to Benito Villamarín has left feelings found to a group culé that every time is more imprecise. Ansu Fati, although it happened more than one hundred days 'KO' keeps on being the most decisive player of the blaugrana and marked the difference in Benito Villamarín, although the ex culé Marc Bartra finished signing the tables, but appeared Alba 'in extremis'.
The big problem is that the Barça is still in a very irregular level and without leaving guarantees on the terrain of game. To the Barcelona picture is him doing very long this end of season and is very far to offer the feelings that had before the stop of selections. Against the Real Betis was the history of always and with the 'security' that if Xavi Hernández does not move a key, will be a suffering in these last days.
In the first part, the picture verdiblanco did not leave to the Barça combine inside and did a lot damage to open field. The Betis was the one who proposed more and left the clearest occasions, in front of a team culé that, of principle, only loomed in the attack with the incursions of Dembélé or the 'sparks' of Memphis. The most important opportunity signed it Ronald Araújo, the one who with a powerful head butt forced to Rui Silva to take part to divert it and that crashed in the crossbar.
The Betis answered with several approaches to the area of Net, the one who although it did not have a lot of interventions, saw merodear to the béticos to pleasure. The contragolpes were 'killing' to the culés and Juanmi caused the first 'fright' with a shot that did not take direction. Guido Rodríguez also warned with a shot from the frontal, after a pass of Channels, that crashed in the crossbar.
Second dense part for the Barça
The second part began with the same feelings and a Barça very dense, with quite a lot of problems to play by the bands and generate danger 'real' against the béticos. In the 53', Dembélé tried to pull to the team and sent a pass measured so that Ferran Torres kicked, but Rui Silva was attentive to brake it, although the played was invalidated by position irreglamentaria. Afterwards it was the own French the one who tested luck: it started, it put a course more and shot to the side of the network, without success.
The Betis wanted to react and tested luck twice followed: Guido sent a pass milimétrico for Juanmi in the small area and Ronald Araújo crossed just in time to cross it and avoid that it opened the marker. The charrúa covered to a Dani Alves that had not appeared in his band. The siege, in any case, continued and Net dressed of protagonist: Alex Moreno centred and Juanmi sent a finish point-blank, but the guardameta Brazilian took part of surprise.
Net went back to appear after Borja Iglesas enabled to Juanmi, but the malagueño arrived almost without faith. The '13' culé went back to save to keep the 0-0... And cause the reaction of the blaugrana with two very clear occasions. First it was Frenkie of Jong the one who filtered so that Aubameyang finished above the crossbar and afterwards Ferran finished in front of Rui Silva, but denied him the goal.
Ansu Fati To the rescue... And tie of Bartra
When the tie seemed sung, appeared the man of the goal and of the illusion for the Barça: Ansu Fati. Ingresó To the field to replace to Ferran Torres and marked the difference immediately: it Controlled in the frotal and shot to the stick for reencontrarse with the goal. Anybody expected it to him and opened the tin to say 'present' once again. The bad news was that the Betis reacted immediately and Bartra signed the tables to ten minutes for the end. It sent a head butt after a lateral centre of Fekir for 'sink' to the blaugrana.
