Lewandowski, Gündogan, Araújo... Barça's 1x1 in the victory against Almería

In spite of confronting to the colista of LaLiga, the FC Barcelona could not close the year with a performance convincente, but yes with a victory in front of the Almería (3-2). The conjoint visitor attained to equalise the party in two opportunities, generating a very taut climate in Montjuïc. At the end, a doublet of Sergi Roberto saved to the Barça of another papelón, but the doubts keep growing in the surroundings culé regarding the future of Xavi Hernández. Like this we saw to the Barcelona group the Wednesday in front of the Almería:

Iñaki Crag: Irregular

The Alicante did not have responsibility in the first so much visitor, but yes in the second, calculating badly in an exit where finish bumping of incomprehensible form with Ronald Araújo. Edgar took advantage of the loose ball in the area to define to empty door. With the 3-2 in the marker, redeemed avoiding another tie of the Almería with a paradón to a head butt of Dribble.

Joao Cancel: Cumplidor

The luso did not contribute too much in attack, but was attentive in the mark in his return to the right side. Again it completed the 90 minutes without receiving cautions neither commit earthy errors backwards.

Ronald Araújo: Errático

The central Uruguayan went back to play with protection in his face and completed his worst party in long. It lost several balloons, one of them key to derive in the 1-1 of the Almería. In the complement bumped with Iñaki Crag in the action of the 2-2 and, on the end, finish admonished. Also it failed a clear option in attack after a centre of Sergi Roberto, but propició the 1-1 partial with a big head butt.

Andreas Christensen: Surpassed

The Danish neither had a good party and was surpassed in the hand manually with Léo Baptistao. It played conditioned from the minute 21 by a yellow after an entrance to Sergio Arrive. Xavi opted for removing him in the halftime, putting to Jules Koundé in his place.

Alejandro Balde: Deep

Unlike previous parties, the canterano dared more in attack, surpassing with ease to Pozo in the individual duel by left. However, it was missing him clarity to take advantage of his superiority in the first hour of game. In the final stretch went up less, accusing the wear of a very demanding party in the psychological.

Ílkay Gündogan: Imprecise

The German completed another grey performance in a centre of the unpublished field beside Sergi Roberto and Fermín López where was unable to assume the necessary leadership and contributed very little in the creation in the first part, with remarkable errors in passes that the germano does not be used to to fail. Neither it was fine in the definition inside the area, wasting a clear occasion after a good centre of Cancel.

Sergi Roberto: Goleador

The captain was of less to more in a party where, during all the first part, lució desubicado in his eagerness to give a hand in attack. In the complement dressed of hero with two goals in the minutes 60 and 83. The first, of head in a corner served by Raphinha. The one of the victory, defining like a '9' in front of Maximiano, taking advantage of the habilitation of Lewandowski. On the end brushed the 'hat trick' with a finish to the crossbar. It was, definitely, the 'MVP' of the day.

Fermín López: Combativo

It was the best of the Barça in the first part, remembering by moments to Gavi with a remarkable deployment for presionar the exit of the rival and try recover balloons with the intensity that, lately, so much misses the team. In the complement accused the wear and Xavi put to Oriol Romeu in his place in the 67.

Raphinha: Reivindicativo

The Brazilian had another party with several errors in the reception of the balloon, but answered to the confidence of Xavi with a goal of head in the first part and an assistance in the second half to Sergi Roberto that kept to the Barça with advantage when worse happened it the team.

Joao Félix: Disappointing

It contributed very little in a first part in which it sinned of individualista, treating to impose his law inside the area with little criterion. Xavi opted for putting to Ferran in the halftime, a movement that expected from the eleven. To the luso will come him well the rest navideño.

Robert Lewandowski: Solidario

The Pole was imprecise in the area, but saved the day with a big assistance to Sergi Roberto in the 83' that avoided another 'prick' Barcelona. It could not convert, since Maximiano answered well to a finish his of half distance, but did the duties with his delivery in the final stretch.

Jules Koundé: Apagafuegos

It replaced to Christensen after the rest and, although the Barça fit another so much in the complement, suffered less backwards from his entry. Xavi gave him a 'touch' leaving him in the bench, but the bad performance of the Danish seems to resolve the debate on who has to accompany to Araújo in the centre of the saga.

Lamine Yamal: Testimonial

Unlike other parties, the juvenile participated very little in the 15 minutes that was in field. To the juvenile seems to begin to fastidiarle the fault of minutes.

Ferran Torres: Impulsive

The '7' went in enchufadísimo, demanding to Maximiano with two finish dangerous in the beginning of the second part. Afterwards it went diluting and was more impulsive that acertivo in the final stretch of the meeting.

Oriol Romeu: Missing

The one of Ulldecona replaced to Fermín in the 67' and participated very little in the game culé. Even it saw him nervous by moments.
