Marc Guiu unleashes madness against Athletic and brings Barça closer to the lead (1-0)

The FC Barcelona has known to impose, with a lot of suffering, in a presentation that has been all less easy. The blaugrana saw in a quite uncomfortable situation, but the apparition of Marc Guiu, that in his debut in First Division turned into the big saviour of the team, changed the history. A his goal, in his first touch to the balloon when it went in to the lawn, gave the victory to the Catalans to arrive with a point of difference to the dispute of the Classical. 23 seconds sufficed him to make history in the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Compannys.

It was not a simple party for the Catalan picture, that has had a lot of variants and novelties in the approach of Xavi Hernández. From the entrance of Iñigo Martínez, very correct in the exit of balloon and in the changes of orientation, until the presence of Joao Félix, Fermín López and Ferran Torres in the attack. The one of Foios remained 'fixed' in the right extreme, whereas the others two were exchanging of position between the left-handed band and the false nine to try despistar to the central bilbaínos.

The true is that the Barça was not very comfortable with the balloon and cost him generate approaches to the area of Unai Simón. It was with the changes of orientation and the played faster with which the blaugrana seeded danger in the rival, but arrived to dropper. It was a party that, especially in the first minutes, played in the centre of the field and without clear dominador. The Athletic was taking advantage of the doubts of the culés for presionar high and 'punish' from the speed of players like Nico Williams or Sancet, those who gave a lot of problems.

Exhibitions of Unai Simón and Ter Stegen in Montjuïc

In the middle of the uncertainty, went the guardametas those who did with the reins of the party to keep the 0-0 the greater possible time. In the first 45' produced an exhibition of Simón and, especially, of Marc-André Ter Stegen. After an opportunity of Joao Félix that it crashed in the stick, after a big career and played of Ferran, all was of the goalkeepers. The first arrived with a pass backwards of Alejandro Balde, the touch of a Joao that fell (without penalti) and Fermín took advantage of to finish, crusader, and toparse with the put bilbaíno that opened of legs to avoid that colara the balloon.

The leadership happened for the one of Mönchengladbach. It took part in a few occasions to save to a Barça that went back to concede spaces backwards and that suffered, more than the account, in the shrinkings in front of the speed of the lions. In one of the approaches, Iñaki Wiliams m3andó a shot of volley, from the frontal, that forced to the Teutonic to take out the hand to clear to corner 'in extremis'. It was not the only, put in the final stretch of the first-half the ones of Ernesto Valverde went back to go out in contragolpe and the balloon remained it to him Nico, but took more than the account in giving it to his brother and gave time to Ter Stegen to position and react. In the refuse taponó Iñigo, but everything remained invalidated by offside.

In the final instants, went back to appear to repel a shot crossed of the lower of Williams, with the left foot. In the resumption, however, went the Barça the one who put a course more and dumped to the attack in research to break the equality. The '7' warned of first with a visit inside the area to Lekue and, to the hour to shoot, appeared Dani García for taponar. The culés saw much more enchufados and comfortable from the position of the balloon, but were not so fine as in previous occasions.

Incessant danger in both areas!

The ones of Valverde, costing again of the fast transitions of the brothers Wiliams, also had his approaches in the beginning of the second half. Iñaki had the clearest with a finish raso that finish crashing in the side of the network and, like answer, the Barça went in career with a big desmarque of Joao, that won the balloon but finished committing a fault on Simón, the one who instants afterwards turned into the big hero of the visitors: Félix shot, repelled, but in the refuse that it hunted Fermín went back to taponar with his body.

The Barça advanced lines and put gunpowder in the attack with the entrance of Lamine Yamal, the one who cost of his power for desequilibrar the wall of the Basque defence. It could take advantage of of a big driving of the Portuguese attacker, especially enchufado in the second half. It opened for the canterano culé, but his shot left was when it looked for the first stick, before the party -during several minutes- happened to no man's land in front of the wear, evident, by the rhythm of the party.

I cancel it took advantage of of the uncertainty after receiving and put in the area, but his shot repelled it Unai Simón that went back to do big to keep the tie... But it could not do at all when, of unthinkable way, Marc Guiu went in to the field to lead to his with hardly 23 seconds in the field and in his debut in first division: it Received of Joao Félix, controlled and finalised of way sensacional to break the equality desatar the madness in a Montjuïc that has 'known', of the best way, to one of the big 'perlas' of The Masia.
