WORKED VICTORY OF BARÇA
Barça resists and beats the intensity of Osasuna (1-2)
FC Barcelona has 'suffered' to prevail in an intense visit to El Sadar. The goals from Koundé and Lewandowski were enough to leave the national team break with three points and a lot of peace of mind
The FC Barcelona survives to a very intense night in The Sadar. Without a brilliant game and suffering more than the expected in The Sadar, the ones of Xavi Hernández have added his third victory of consecutive way. The goals of Jules Koundé and Robert Lewandowski have cost to counter the one of Chimy Ávila and return home with three vital points that leaves them calm before the stop of selections.
Still there is a lot for improving, but the Barça is 'enchufado' in this start of season and insists in litigating for revalidating the title that already won the past season. The visit to The Sadar was one of the most complicated in this start of course, but have done the works. Xavi Hernández has gone back to bet by the same drawing and, practically, the same protagonists. It insists in having more control from the centre of the field, but in front of an Osasuna that no 'hid' neither sank, did not give a lot of results.
The Barça began 'uncomfortable' in Pamplona
Jagoba Arrasate, as it accustoms, posed a very intelligent party and pleaded for the very high pressure to cause errors and losses of the rival. 'Ocasionó' That, after a positive start of the Barça, went his those who added the clearest occasions in the first part. A shot of Arnaiz to the short stick, that forced to Ter Stegen to divert, and another of Aimar with a finish from the point penalti that had to blocar the guardameta of Mönchengladbach were the clearest in front of a group culé that was not very comfortable.
The blaugrana, in addition to the drivings of Frenkie of Jong to break lines or the interventions of Gündogan, did not show especially hit neither with 'spark'. However, with a bit of controversy, the Barça finished advancing in the útimo 'sigh' before the rest. The German midfield player, to the exit of a corner, commanded a centre measured direct in command of Jules Koundé that, elevating above all, commanded an unappealable head butt to open the markedr and première like goleador in this campaign.
Without clarity in the second half
Although the Osasuna demanded a fault in the action, the referee left clear that the contact was not so important as so that it cancelled the goal. God a lot of confidence to the Barça and in the resumption gave continuity to the good feelings, but lacking occasions very clear. Frenkie Of Jong put a good balloon to Lewandowski, but did not hit in the control to define and afterwards was Romeu the one who put a centre without finding striker.
There was not a lot of clarity in the area of Aitor or Ter Stegen and yes a lot of dispute between teams. Rubén García tried desequilibrar with a centre, very easy, and Catena also 'burst into' with a finish of head, whereas andl Barça was not especially comfortable and saw how accumulated players in his own area. It cost them, more than the account, go down the impetus of the venues and inject tranquility to the game.
Lewandowski For 'save' to the Barça
The clearest of the Barça arrived 'thank you' to the debutante Joao Cancel, that already has left 'details' of what can offer in his stay in the group culé. It put a grandísimo centre, with the outside, for the arrival of Lewandowski in the area and Aitor Fernández took out the balloon under the sticks, but the played was invalidated by an offside of the Portuguese in the start.
When they seemed to be more comfortable the blaugrana, appeared a Chimy Ávila for retar to the blaugrana... Although no by long. It took out a zurdazo from the frontal, touching in the stick and colándose immediately in the porería of a Ter Stegen that could not do at all to avoid the tie. Luckily, to fault of eight minutes for the end Lewandowski took advantage of to mark from the penalty spot after a fault in the area that caused the expulsion of Catena... And that supposed the triumph culé-
To the Barça him 'reach' with his chispazos
It has not been an exhibition of the ones of Xavi Hernández, is clear. The culés did not show his more solvent version and have been especially conditioned by the pressure of an Osasuna that did his work and that looked for at all times rescue some point. For the culés supposes a called of attention for the technical area. For the moment, they remain with 'solvency' in the classification, but follow with the obligation to follow rowing against after the stop of selections.
