Barça's bad second half spoiled Xavi's umpteenth 'bath' for Ancelotti

Jude Bellingham saved to the Real Madrid to the enésimo 'bathroom' tactical of Xavi Hernández to Carlo Ancelotti from the arrival of the egarense to the bench culé two years ago. The FC Barcelona bet by a 4-3-3 new in where Ronald Araújo returned to the right side and Joao Cancel advanced lines to plant like right extreme. With Gavi like pivote and Ferran Torres as '9', the míster of Terrrassa armed an eleven competitive in spite of the drops that was able to cancel to the 'merengues' during the greater part of the party.

Although the goal of the Barça arrived with something of fortune, previous detour of Tchouaméni to an attempt of wall between ílkay Gündogan and Ferran that allowed to the German define hand manually in front of Kepa, the culés felt very comfortable during a first part in which the Madrid did not do any finish to door. Ter Stegen Recently used his gloves in the 67' after a finish of the same Tchouaméni that preceded to the first goal of Bellingham. For then, the Barça already had retreated some metres, losing the control of the midfield.

The wear in the final stretch and the defensive distractions killed to the Barça

To the Madrid cost him a lot arm played thanks to the 'master class' of Gavi like pivote. The Andalusian 'erased' to Jude during the greater part of the meeting, whereas Gündogan and Fermín López also threw a hand in the recovery, giving a lot of headaches to Toni Kroos and Fede Valverde. The German and the Uruguayan did not attain to associate with Bellingham and bet by long balloons to Vinicius and Rodrygo that finished in at all.

However, the blow that supposed the 1-1 killed anímicamente to a Barça exhausted that well it could expand the advantage in the beginning of the second part. The culés did not know to finish the party and the Madrid, with a pair of arrivals, wrapped it to finish carrying the victory in a played where Balde leaves to centre with comfort to Carvajal and a detour in Modric descoloca to Iñigo Martínez so that the mediocentro English defined in the area girl in front of Ter Stegen.

Neither it could react the '1' to the detour in the Croat, but the action was very fast. Previously, Oriol Romeu had had some error in exit that, of not being by Andreas Christensen, could leave only to Vinicius for encarar to the arch. The Barça could not control the centre of the field in the last 20 minutes, retreated too much, gave spaces and added his first defeat of the season. It touches to happen fast the page, since the next week touches to travel to San Sebastián to confront to the Real.

Xavi stood out the good work of the team in spite of the defeat

After the party, Xavi valued the good work of the team in the first 60 minutes. The Barça had not suffered sobresaltos in defence until then and, of not being by the bad puntería, easily could have been 2-0 up. "It has understood all, have been well in the game. It has failed these 25 final minutes, have gone us down and this has marked the difference, further of the effectiveness. It has gone out to perfection the posed. We have been dominadores during 60 minutes", puntualizó in his talk with 'DAZN'.
