Barça stays unbeaten in LaLiga, but the title is slipping from draw to draw. The catalans got tangled up against Atlético and a double penalty by Saúl fequalized both Diego Costa's own goal and Leo Messi's penalty
The FC Barcelona follows sacking of LaLiga, in which it continues without losing but in which the ties give free road to the Real Madrid. Like sucedió in front of Seville and Celtic of Vigo, the Catalans did not play badly, but the rivals knew to resist and 'fished' points with his own arms. Diego Coast annotated in own and failed a penalti, but in the repetition converted it Saúl to give back the tables to the electronic. The rhythm of the first part exhausted in the second, in which there was other two maximum penalties for the goal 700 of Leo Messi and so that the ilicitano sealed a 2-2.
Hardly they sufficed some minutes to check that both applicants wanted the triumph, since they started exchanging occasions to mark. One against and a pass between lines of Riqui Puig gave step to a finish bitten of Luis Suárez, and answered Yannick Carrasco with a big centre of fault that José María Giménez and Diego Coast did not connect point-blank by scarce centimetres. A theft advanced of Ivan Rakitic also forced to take part to Jan Oblak, that only saw surpassed by the unexpected fellow fire.
The referees detected an infringement by hand in the limit of the area, by very little separated of the background line. Leo Messi shot to door and Diego Coast cleared an attempt that already colaba hit to the stick. The problem for the Hispanic-Brazilian was the kickoff of back corner, since the hanged balloon by the Argentinian struck him in the inner part of the thigh and, more concerned by the possible pressure of his rivals that for taking out the spherical, finish entering it in his own goal.
In an open party and with a lot of rhythm, the speed of Carrasco was a torture for the culés, that could not brake to the Belgian and finish it regretting. Precisely, one of his started finish with a cut to Gerard Hammered and another to Arturo Vidal, that did not measure his entrance and did him penalti. In spite of that the first maximum penalty stopped it to him Ter Stegen to Coast, Hernández Hernández forced to repeat, since they warned him from the VAR that the feet of the German did not touch the line of put. Diego Simeone changed of thrower and this time Saúl deceived to the germano.
Although Messi brushed the square with a zurdazo of thread, the meeting was losing tension until the rest. The rojiblancos followed looking for to the of Vilvoorde without cutting and the Barcelona answered overwhelming to Renan Lodi, that saw surpassed one and again when him atosigaban the Argentinian, Arturo Vidal and a Nélson Semedo that did not stop to incorporate . The last opportunity before the go through changing rooms served so that luciera Oblak, that rectified to time to divert another free shot of the '10' that poisoned after striking the barrier.
The tie to penaltis does not serve him to the Barça
The start of the second time was also agitated, since it premièred with a penalti of Felipe on Semedo. The Portuguese side pursued with faith an action that finished without consequences and found the prize, because the central Brazilian did not measure his entrance and touched him the just to demolish him. There was pressure in the eleven metres but Messi did not notice it, since it reached the longed for goal 700 with a launching to the Panenka.
The Barça felt dominador in front of an Athletic that had stepped backwards, but again appeared the chispazo of Carrasco. They had warned the Madrilenian with a centre from the right band that Coast could not embocar, but the ex of the Monaco wanted his night and was vital for his. Another stab by the left-handed lane and a light brush of the own Semedo sufficed for the third penalti in the Camp Nou, that left touched to the venues by the series of played unlucky. Again, Saúl took the responsibility and although Ter Stegen touched, could not save.
Although they had of some occasion more, consumed without ideas the Catalans, that bumped against the wall of a Simeone that yes knows to what plays. To base to accumulate men by the centre and look for any against, detained the 'colchoneros' to his opponents, that could change the sign of the clash with a centre of the omnipresente Semedo that did not touch Messi and that Vidal commanded by little was. Neither the entrance of Joao Félix allowed to command to the visitors, that treated to take advantage of, also without success, the madness of a group dumped.
Setién Burned his ships very late and with little conviction, and every time notices him more than does not believe in what has. The true is that his team does not play of the all bad, but combines moments of inspiration and fast game with others of previsibilidad and slowness. And as well it warned Messi does some months, with an applicant half do not win titles, what causes that, referee's pushes separate, LaLiga was, this week, a bit more near of the vitrinas of the Real Madrid.
