If there is something that has characterised to the FC Barcelona in this season is that it has explored all the forms to suffer in a party, without exception... But that has known to react to time to avoid a catastrophe. The team has been able to show his best version and instants afterwards sleep to put to his rival in the party. As it has happened in Benito Villamarín, where happened of a solvent 0-2 to see against the ropes by an Isco Alarcón that, with Nabil Fekir and Borja Churches like allies, empataron in a 'break' the clash in the second half. Fortunately, the goals to last hour of Joao Félix and Ferran Torres have saved the night.
And it is that they have been several histories in a same party, something that also has repeated in an infinity of occasions in what it goes of season. In the first-half was an authentic monologue with an overwhelming superiority from the centre of the field, noqueando to the verdiblancos so that they were not hit for presionar and steal balloons. It was the key so that the tranquility arrived prompt for the ones of Xavi Hernández. The Betis did not put too many problems so that the culés advanced lines and could plant with relative ease in the area of Rui Silva.
The 'better' Barça does not know 'sentence' his parties
The speed and big mobility of Lamine Yamal was key so that the culés were 'fine' in the attack, with very good combinations from the medullary. It was the Barça more Barça and the marker did not take in opening . Pedri Was the first in warning with a vaselina that commanded above the crossbar, before he same hunted a balloon in the area to leave it to Ferran Torres and only had to push it to the deepest of the network.
The Catalans were in a relatively easy stage and in which it did not find opposition by part of his rival. The Betis no presionaba after loss neither tried to advance by the centre of the field. Isco Alarcón was the more 'dared', but when it crossed remained entirely only... And the ones of Xavi took advantage of to try come up with Yamal that, with alone 16 years, did not take in turning into the offensive leader of the team: Had his opportunity of gold in the 38' with a big driving and back finish that it crashed in the long stick. The 0-2 could just before the rest, with finish of Lewandowski, but Ferran split in position advanced in the beginning of the played.
The target, in any case, did not do expect. The Barça put earth of by half with the two footballers that had 'surpassed' to the rest in the first-half: Lamine and Ferran. To the three minutes of the resumption, the ones of Xavi signed a played 'magic' with Yamal enchufadísimo that attained to put in the 'kitchen' after leaving of Abner. It commanded a centre that struck in the stick and the one of Foios took advantage of the refuse to define with all the calm of the world and of powerful way. It was the beginning of the fall of a picture culé that did not know how 'sleep' the crash.
Fekir, Borja and Isco changed the history
The Betis reacted with a very clear occasion. Luiz Henrique hunted a loose ball in the area and Koundé, in the line, avoided that the balloon colara... And wake up to the venues. And it is that with the entrance of Nabil Fekir the history changed too much. It was another image of a group verdiblanco and the occasions multiplied in spite of the command and security of the Barça. Crag detained a finish of the French from the frontal and, of a moment to another, the Catalans complicated definitively a party that seemed resolved: Isco hunted the balloon and commanded a potentísimo finish so that the guardameta Alicante could not do at all. Minutes afterwards arrived the tie, with the ex of the Real Madrid like protagonist after putting the leg up to surpass again to Iñaki.
Gil Manzano had cancelled the goal, in principle, by offside of Borja Churches, but the 'Panda' had not touched it and the so much finished going up to the marker. The Catalans were entirely asleep and the feeling was that the Betis deserved more. Luiz Henrique had the goal of the traced back after a contragolpe that finish with a finish from the frontal that left was. The Catalans tried to go down him the pulsaciones to the clash and try go back to be by in front in the marker, but adjust them of Manuel Pellegrini 'blocked' the confined of Lamine or the freedom of Ferran.
