VERY WEAK MATCH OF BARÇA
Barça 'falls asleep' against Real Sociedad and celebrates LaLiga losing (1-2)
FC Barcelona failed to meet Real Sociedad's visit and signed their first defeat at the Camp Nou in this League. Xavi Hernández's men relaxed more than necessary and ended with very bittersweet feelings in the celebration of the 27th domestic title
The FC Barcelona has not had his more pleasant night, but in the Spotify Camp Nou has lived an authentic party by the celebration of the 27º title of LaLiga Santander. After a corridor of the Real Sociedad to celebrate to the champions, the blaugrana remained 'slept' and committed a big number of errors that allowed that Merino and Sorloth 'punished' to a Barça that left a lot of doubts and sensanciones negative of face to the final stretch of the championship, in spite of the discount of Robert Lewandowski.
With the works done after topping like champion of League, Xavi Hernández posed an alignment with several novelties in front of a Real Sociedad that plays the classification to the Champions League. The blaugrana went out very relaxed to his field and, like consequence, committed errors that the ones of Imanol Bailiff did not forgive and that saw reflected, very soon, in the marker: To Jules Koundé won him the toast Sorloth in the medullary, presionándolo, and went freely until the area, where found to Mikel Merino that defined at first to beat to Ter Stegen underneath of the legs.
It was the worst possible beginning for a Barça that it had to row to contracorriente and that was not especially hit in the last pass, but that did not show very good feelings because it was a very long team. Although with the change of drawing and the return of the offensive trident the culés attained to plant constantly in the area of Remiro, was missing them spark. Had against, also, to a guardameta that was very hit to brake the danger in the incursions of Dembélé, Raphinha or Lewandowski.
Gone and turns in the Spotify Camp Nou
After the goal, produced a seguidilla of occasions, but without success to move the electronic. Lewandowski Was the first in warning after taking advantage of of an error in the exit of the Real so that the '9' stole the balloon and put it from the línra background picadita. The spherical hunted it Dembélé with the head and Remiro commanded it was, with the foot, in the line of goal. Instants afterwards, Kessié and Of Jong added the attack but the finish of the costamarfileño left licking the right stick and the one of the Dutch cleared it, in extremis, Martín Zubimendi.
The command of the blaugrana became absolute, but the Real put fear to the venues with fast transitions for colarse in the area of a Ter Stegen that saw forced to take part more than the account. First against Sorloth, that after finding spaces to run by the left, sent a centre raso for the finish of Cho, but the German covered it point-blank to avoid the 0-2. The feeling was that anything could happen in both areas, but the tarpaulin 'shined' by his absence in the first 45'.
After the resumption the party lost a lot rhythm and, although it continued being a gone and turn, were missing the occasions and the 'emotion' in the disputes, especially because it went constantly interrupted by faults. Rico was the first in trying 'anirmar' the night with a finish crusader and Dembélé answered, after removing of on to Zubeldia, with a shot with the left-handed that taponó Merino to avoid the tie.
It was the Real the one who had the clearest occasion, with Sorloth losing the opportunity to clear the clash after a big centre of Kubo to the second stick. The Norwegian won him to Alejandro Balde and finish forgiving him the life to the culés, but did not repeat in the following opportunity: After a good theft in own field (with possible fault to Of Jong), Take Kubo directed a big contragolpe and deceived to all the centre of the Barcelona field to find to Sorloth, that in the one against one did not forgive to Ter Stegen and finish defining underneath.
A party 'unimportant' for the Barça
Although in the previous Xavi Hernández did a lot upsetting in that the team was very enchufado to assume the challenge against the Real Sociedad and that went to try -continue- improving his registers in LaLiga, the reality is that this Saturday saw to a very dense and long team that did not leave good feelings. They relaxed more than the account and, although they could equalise or trace back, did not feel comfortable and noticed the absence of a Pedri that commissions to give sense to what happens in the field.
Fortunately, it is a party that, further to improve registers, does not have transcendence. The ones of Xavi Hernández already have consecrated champions of LaLiga after a season in which the regularity has been the best ingredient so that, after four years of drought, Sergio Busquets was able to raise the title suspender belt in front of a Camp Nou full and that has lived an authentic party in spite of the result.
