It went as it went, the FC Barcelona needed a victory against the Real Betis. Four days without winning were too, the ones of Ronald Koeman were conscious of this and, in spite of that went back to fail the puntería, finish goleando. A goal of Ousmane Dembélé, another of Antoine Griezmann, another of Pedri and a doublet of Leo Messi that it was acting gave a victory balsámica and very necessary.
The FC Barcelona knew from a start that could not allow a first mediocre time like the one of Mendizorroza against the Sportive Alavés neither neither the same number of distractions that against the Dinamo of Kiev. Thus, the culés went out to presionar from the start and did not take in generating the first occasions of danger in front of a Real Betis that preferred acularse and go out when had option.
The first dangerous opportunities did not take in arriving by part of the FC Barcelona: Antoine Griezmann crossed too much a shot crossed and another of Ansu Fati also left by centimetres. Ousmane Dembélé Also did estragos by the right side whereas the Real Betis also intimidated with a powerful finish after a kickoff of corner that detained Marc-André ter Stegen.
The goal arrived in the minute 22 by work of Ousmane Dembélé, that went clearly one of the pillars of the game of attack of the FC Barcelona. The extreme frances received inside the area, threatened in going out by out, recortó for encararse to goal and beat to Claudio Bravo with a tremendo latigazo with the left leg that the put Chilean touched but without being able to detain it.
By his part, Antoine Griezmann, that was tremendously active, showed the same problem of always: the puntería. The mediapunta French failed other two very clear occasions that banished by centimetres (one of them hit in the stick) and even wasted a penalti committed on Ansu Fati (that it left lesionado to the canterano Barcelona) that Claudio Bravo read to perfection launching to his right.
The Real Betis did not intimidate in front of the clear occasions of a FC Barcelona that had forgiven and finish it paying. The Andalusians, that also had warned with good occasions of Álex Moreno and Cristian Tello, put the tables in the marker with a goal of Tony Sanabria finishing point-blank just in the injury time.
Leo Messi goes in and sentence
After the rest, Leo Messi went in to the terrain of game although seeding worry on the physical state of Ansu Fati. The positive is that the Argentinian star did not take at all in being decisive: in the minute 49, Jordi Alba put a centre raso that the '10' left to happen with a jump so that Antoine Griezmann finished and marked to pleasure. Half goal of the captain culé, that dragged to two defences and to Claudio Bravo to leave only to the French.
The game of the FC Barcelona seemed already much more solid in front of a Real Betis to the that began him to be missing the strengths. In the minute 60, Ousmane Dembélé received an assistance of Leo Messi and shot another whiplash that crashed in the arm of Mandi, that took out under sticks. After the review of the VAR, Stable Fernández signalled penalti and expelled to the bético. The 'flea' did not fail from the eleven metres.
But this Barça seems that it is not done not to suffer. In spite of being with a man more on the terrain of game, the culés followed experiencing problems in this left band by mediation of the arrivals of Álex Moreno and, in fact, a good played of the Catalan side finish with a goal of Loren Morón that did to reappear to the ghosts of the Camp Nou.
But the FC Barcelona did not intimidate after the so much of the Andalusians and followed having the initiative at stake and occasions. And, shortly after, it arrived the second goal of Leo Messi, that bató to Claudio Bravo with a dry shot and to the short stick after an assistance of heel of Sergi Roberto. The polyvalent player of Reus also assisted to Pedri so that the Canarian put the 5-2 definite.
