If something left clear the FC Barcelona in the first part was that the 4-3-3 seats him much better that the system with three head offices that invented Quique Setién against Granada, Valencia and Ibiza. The culés went back to be dangerous to the space and so vertical as against the Leganés, and only in the first time had several opportunities of clear goal. The first clear arrived in the minute 14 with a good pass of Ansu Fati to Leo Messi in the frontal that the '10' threw went by very little.

The balloon was of the blaugrana, but the levantinistas tried to go out to the against every time that had option. The Barça, nevertheless, hardly suffered in defence and Marc-André ter Stegen did not have to do any stop in the first time. The culés followed arriving with danger to the area granota, but between some things and Aitor Fernández did not finish to feel a real danger. It failed the last pass, crossed a defence in the last moment... It did not go until the 28 when Messi put to proof to the put of the Raise.

The Argentinian found with a rebound inside the area after a good cominación with Ansu and put to proof to Aitor that saved to his of the 1-0. But the Barcelona was putting already the direct and only a pair of minutes afterwards the Hispanic-guinean went to take advantage of a genial pass of Messi to define underneath of the legs in front of the archer granota. The juvenile surpassed by speed to his pair and did not fail to inaugurate the marker.

But the party of the canterano had not done more than beginning and only a minute afterwards another played of the of Rosario caused his first doublet like blaugrana. The captain drove of right to left deleting contrary and finish it to him giving inside the area to Ansu, that encaró to Miramón, went to the left and with the left-handed hit him dry to the first stick to surprise to Aitor that it could do much more. The launching of the international Sub-21 Spanish went through him under the legs to the gipuzcoano in an improper error of a goalkeeper of his category.

The Barça was 'on fire' and in the 35 Nélson Semedo, that went of the best of the culés in the first time, commanded a shot to the crossbar. The Portuguese went up the band with speed, recortó to his pair of perfect way and with the left was about to to mark the third. The carrilero felt more comfortable that never and took advantage of the diagonals of Messi and Griezmann to be more extreme that lateral. The own French, in fact, failed of form inexplicable in front of Aitor after a big pass of the ex of the Benfica after another played individual.

The Raise had his options after the rest

The go through the changing rooms seated him well to the Raise, that in the 50 could recortar distances with a double very clear occasion of Morals and Rochina. The 'Commander' received a big pass of heel of Roger, drove, put inside the area and preferred to throw to door that look for to a Rochina that went in to the penalty spot. Ter Stegen Stopped with ease the shot of the Valencian, but the rebound went him to stop the ex of the Granada, that for surprise of all the world threw it above the crossbar with his bad leg having everything to his favour.

The levantinistas followed his bullying to the area barcelonista and three minutes after the previous opportunity, Gonzalo Melero had another arrival from backwards that cut across with difficulties Ter Stegen. The Barça no longer was the owner of the party and the ones of Paco López had very clear that a goal put them of full in the party. Hernani, that went out in the 50 beside Mayoral, had another very clear for recortar differences, but Ter Stegen took it out to corner with a good hand. The own Portuguese midfield player went back to test luck instants afterwards from out of the area, but his shot went him by little to the right of put it culé.

Little by little, the push granota was to less and the Barcelona went back to control the tempi of the crash removing the pressure of on through the possession. Messi was about to do to cost this control with a played mark of the house that finish stopping him Aitor. The rosarino went of two inside the area, but his shot took it out with the foot the Basque, redeeming of his error in the 2-0.

But the ones of Paco López still had an arreón final prepared and in the 92 Rubén Rochina put the 2-1 with a powerful shot that did not reach to see Ter Stegen. The Valencians callaban to the Camp Nou to two minutes for the end and put the fear in the body even Barça that completed a second part that left a lot that wish. The mediocampista Valencian arrived even to have a far shot more to try plant the tie, but commanded it diverted shortly before that the referee pitara the end. Victoria culé much more suffered of the expected that leaves to the group barcelonista to three of the Real Madrid.
