The FC Barcelona returned of the stop of selections to the big with a convincente victory in front of the Eibar. The Catalans arrived warned to Ipurua because in this campaign anybody has given them eases far of the Camp Nou, but shined in all the plots of the field and cancelled to a rival that in any moment knew to plant face. In spite of the fault of forcefulness in the final metres, Antoine Griezmann, Leo Messi and Luis Suárez fine-tuned his connection and contributed a goal per person.
The meeting began with a slight discontent for the culés, that controlled with solvency the high pressure of the venues. It had not fulfilled the first minute of game when the referee erró braking by offside an action in which Leo Messi was perfectly enabled, after a pass at first of Luis Suárez that it had left him only and with field by in front to run.
The visitors carburaban well, and little by little showed to the area of Marko Dmitrovic. The imprecisions in the final metres prevented that any of his opportunities could materialise , while the pupilos of José Luis Mendilibar followed to the dedillo a very clear strategy. His intention was to find gaps by the bands and seed of centres the zone of punishment barcelonista.
After a warning of Pedro León, the one who did not forgive was Antoine Griezmann, that took advantage of a failure in the rival saga to open the tin. First it had colado José Ángel between the spaces of the left-handed lane, and his excellent service to the frontal did not know to define it the murciano, whose zurdazo left very up. Afterwards, Pablo Gave Blasis slipped in the worst moment, because the long sending of Clément Lenglet controlled it the one of Macon and encaró to the guardameta with security, surpassing him by the short stick.
The 'armeros' stepped forward after seeing by behind in the marker, but the Barcelona, dressed of yellow, knew to control the bombardment. By moments lost the initiative and cost them something more dominate the possession, but in the battle by high did not fail neither Lenglet neither Samuel Umtiti, that returned to the eleven by the big door and with good feelings, doing him the life to Ter Stegen much simpler.
Perhaps the worst for the Barça to the rest was the result, since his fault of tarpaulin and Dmitrovic prevented him increase the advantage. The majority of offensives of the Catalans carried danger, but any could turn into the 0-2. In the last moment always appeared a defence, a too long pass or the enormous cancerbero Serbian, that kept to his with life and even allowed the luxury to win him a hand manually to Messi.
Griezmann, Messi and Suárez (and Of Jong) shine in Ipurua
The resumption started with a goal cancelled to the culés, that went a presage of what was for coming. The VAR detected that the head of Luis Suárez was slightly advanced, after a played that initiated Antoine Griezmann and accelerated Leo Messi. Pape Diop Left patent the despair of the Eibar with a zapatazo from the distance that was very far, and the Uruguayan answered with a shot centred that detained without problems the guardameta.
And the birth of the 0-2 signalled definitely to which went the best players of the duel. It started a Frenkie of Jong flawless, that liked in defence and in attack and with a pass left in good position to Suárez. The one of Jump complicated in the control and lost his advantage, but the balloon remained him to the French and east knew to download in the precise instant. Left short for Messi so that the '10' surpassed to a defender and to the archer with a touch subtle.
With the tranquility in the electronic, the Barcelona left to do to an unable opponent and did not take in reaching the sentence. The ones of house wanted to but could not -by his errors and the good do of the visitors- and in a counterattack cleared definitively the party. Antoine broke lines with a pass that left free to the of Rosario happened the medullary line, and when the Argentinian encaraba to Dmitrovic, opted for giving the so much to Suárez, that hardly had to push to annotate.
To the end it tried the Eibar say his, but the 0-4 was much more near that a goal of the honour that finally neither arrived. More than the temporary leadership, Ernesto Valverde can be pride of the good work of his pupilos with a minimum wear, since it won with a performance convincente and could give a break to some of the indispensable. After some difficult months, this team already seems more to the champion.
