Frenkie de Jong beat Gavi in FC Barcelona's XI, but the Sevillian ended up entering the second half and dynamized the match for the Catalans, although it wasn't enough
Of the party of the FC Barcelona in Santiago Bernabéu can rescue few things: the impetus of the players, the shines and the individual occasions. The team trained by Xavi Hernández was not at all hit in the field of the Real Madrid, but in the final stretch did merits to try look for the tie. Big responsibility of this, in any case, went the contribution of the players that went in from the bench.
Gavi Was one of these footballers. Sorpresivamente, the trainer egarense bet by Frenkie of Jong (up to now little used) in the medullary beside Sergio Busquets and Pedri González, leaving in the bench to a Gavi that had played it practically everything in this season. Finally, ingresó in the second part to replace to Sergio Busquets.
Frenkie Happened to play of mediocentro and Gavi like one of the interiors. The bet worked, half, because the sevillano always contributes dynamism to the team and is a footballer that does not hide . For well and for bad. It showed intensity and positioned like one of the players that more 'delivery' in the terrain of game, although this cost him a yellow cardboard.
And it is that it is not a secret for anybody that Gavi, in a lot of opportunities, goes very strong to the cut and sins for committing a lot of faults. Against the Real Madrid was not different. In the 81' had a very strong entrance on Aurelién Tchouaméni, underneath, with the leg very up. Sánchez Martínez did not doubt in showing him the cardboard, because before already had left several faults.
Recovery for the goal of Ferran
The only so much of the afternoon for the Barça was born of a recovery of Gavi, although all the merit was for Ansu Fati, that invented a played sensacional to go of the players of the Real Madrid, confined in the area and centred so that Ferran Torres, only in the second stick in front of the distraction of Mendy, pushed the balloon to the goal for the 2-1.
