Party complicated, had an accident and far to fulfil the expectations after the imponente goleada does a weekend against the Getafe. The FC Barcelona has not had a comfortable night in a stadium 'difficult' as it is it Saint Mamés. They were of more to less and finish suffering in the second half by fault of 'control' and consistency to the hour to take care the balloon. Finally, they have had to conform with an insufficient tie.

It has been a night very had an accident for the Barça in Bilbao, with two injuries in less than 45 minutes, of Frenkie of Jong and Pedri González. The 'bad' fortune cebó in the Catalans in a presentation in which, in the first 45 minutes, the luck was divivida. The ones of Xavi Hernández began much better and were able to surpass the line of pressure of the bilbaínos, generating superiorities in zone of three chambers and appearing with a lot of players in the area of Unai Simón.

'Had an accident' first time of a Barça of more to less

Iñaki Williams, relegado to defensive works, turned into a 'hero' to avoid that Pedri could control a balloon inside the area and afterwards was Walls the one who cut a dejadita of head of Lewandowski after hunting a centre to the second stick of Joao Cancel. The Portuguese, dressed almost of extremes in the first minutes, went the piece more desequilibrante on the lawn and monopolised the attack in the first compasses of the meeting. Had the clearest occasion in the 31' after an exit anticipated of the guardameta local and took advantage of to command a finish far that touched Unai and afterwards Yeray in the line of goal.

Although the Barça brushed the goal in this opportunity, the Athletic rid of the pressure after some first fifteen minutes in which they were very 'shut' in his field. They did with the territorial command and achieved to connect in the medullary with a lot of ease. 'It helped' the exit of Frenkie by injury, to the 25 minutes, but did not achieve occasions very clear. Araújo Cut a centre of Berenguer for Iñaki Williams and afterwards was the one of Navarra the one who tested luck with with a shot from the beak of the area that poisoned , but finish in the gloves of Marc-André ter Stegen.

Split 'moved' in the resumption in Saint Mamés

The leadership was shared, at least in the first 45 minutes, but in the resumption was the Athletic the one who was more 'active' in rival field. The elder of Williams was being 'indescifrable' for the culés and merodeaba the area with a lot of ease: First it had a centre-kick that finish very diverted and later tested from the medialuna, but very above the crossbar. Unai Gómez was the following in testing with a zurdazo that left by the right stick, diverted.

The answer of the culés arrived through Fermín López, after a played prepared in a direct fault. The midfield player took out a powerful shot, from very far, but left diverted. Afterwards it was I Cancel the one who went back to appear in attack to filter a pass measured to Lewandowski the one who, when it was smart to finish, was intercepted by some Walls that launched to the lawn. The Barça was not very precise in the passes and had problems to arrive with clear ideas to the area of Unai Simón, whereas the bilbaínos were not hit to the hour to decide in the rival area.

The 'surprise' of the bilbaínos arrived to the hour of party with a lateral fault of Berenguer to which was about to to arrive Yeray, but fortunately for the Catalan picture was 'slow'. They were not fine, any of the two, but the controversy did not be in Saint Mamés: Lamine Yamal fell in the small area after a demolish of Berenguer and Hernández Hernández did not signal at all in spite of the protests of the player of 16 years. They remained baffled and the ones of Valverde took advantage of to add opportunities near of Ter Stegen: I Cancel it saved, 'in extremis', a centre of the '7' that went to push to goal Williams and later was him larho a control to Sancet when it went in to the area.
