The Barça was upper from beginning to end and converted all the goals of a day for the forget of Jules Koundé, author of a goal against.
Raphinha And Robert Lewandowski converted the so many culés in a day 'round' for a Barça in series. Alejandro Balde and Ronald Araújo assisted to the Brazilian and to the Pole, respectively, in a second part in which, with exception of Koundé, the performance of the eleven left notes very high. At the end, the ones of Xavi sustained the minimum advantage and close a first spectacular turn in which only they left to escape five points.
To continuation, review one by one the performances of the players titled of the Barça in field of the Betis:
Ter Stegen
The German was a viewer of luxury during the first 45 minutes. The Betis grieve arrived a pair of times in the beginning of the party with arrivals that the bottom culé attained to neutralise. Recently in the minute 60 had to take part in front of a finish of Fekir without a lot of power. And little more than the German, the one who did not have responsibility any in the goal against of Koundé.
Jules Koundé
It saved a finish dangerous of Sergio Channels in a first part in which it went the most whistled of the Barça by his past sevillista. Again it saw sure in the right band, timely in the crosses. Nevertheless, in the 69', a his error very could cost the tie, but Borja Churches did not attain to connect with Juanmi when the bottom culé was totally broken. On the end, the Frenchman did a goal against that by little complicates the triumph blaugrana.
Ronald Araújo
It battled all the party with Nabil Fekir and Borja Churches, answering with abstemiousness in a first part in which there was few sobresaltos. The Uruguayan assisted to Lewandowski of head to 10 minutes of the end, going down a corner served by Pedri so that the '9' luciera doing what better knows: define. Again, it went the best of the defence.
Andreas Christensen
The Danish returned to the eleven and did it of good way, keeping the regularity that has characterised him after the World-wide. It covered the back of Balde when the canterano projected in attack and completed a quite correct party, without greater sobresaltos more than a pair of arrivals of Fekir and Borja Churches product of the errors of Koundé.
Alejandro Balde
Had a pair of distractions in the beginning of the party that well could cost him some goal to the Barça. After the first chamber of hour saw calmer and gave depth to the attack blaugrana in front of the absence of Ousmane Dembélé. In the second part, served two assistances to Pedri and Raphinha, with the Brazilian taking out the best part to advance to the culés.
Sergio Busquets
Solvent to deliver balloons, the captain answered with abstemiousness in front of the presence of Channels and Fekir. His recoveries helped to the Barça to keep the possession and install in contrary field the greater part of the meeting. It played the 90 minutes, fulfilling to cabalidad with what Xavi asks him in each party: recover and deliver balloons to balance the operation of the team.
Frenkie Of Jong
It served a good centre to Raphinha happened the half hour of party that the Brazilian sent of head at the end of the network, but the so much was cancelled by an offside very enclosed. To the Dutch sees it to him much more comfortable beside 'Busi' in the double pivote. In the 65', a fast pass after a free shot in the medullary served so that Balde enabled to Raphinha to break the zero in a party that seemed difficult to break.
Pedri
The '8' had the clearest of the Barça in the beginning, but nubló in a hand manually in front of Rui Silva in which had pass for a Balde free to his left. At all more restart the party after the rest burned him the hands to the goalkeeper luso with an authentic penalti in movement that the '1' diverted throwing of reflections. Before going out, a corner served by him finish in the goal of Lewandowski, at the end decisive to add the three points.
Gavi
It premièred the dorsal '6' struggling against Aitor Ruibal and Guido Rodríguez in a party of a lot of wear. Recostado By left, looked for to associate with Balde for desbordar to a Betis very stopped backwards. Xavi gave him rest to five minutes for the end and the Betis attained to discount, but the victory and the three points remained of the Catalan side,
Raphinha
The Brazilian was very active in the first 45 minutes, taking advantage of the titularity to install by right, his natural profile. The VAR cancelled him a goal by an offside milimétrico on the half hour of game. In the 65' had his revancha personal, pushing at the end of the network a centre crossed of Balde. It went out in the 80', just after the second goal culé.
Robert Lewandowski
The Pole had the clearest of the first stretch in a head butt after a corner. Afterwards it had a hard crossing with Germán Pezzela, but any required medical assistance after the crash of heads. Active in the area from beginning to end, the 'pichichi' appeared in the most timely moment to put the 0-2 in the 80', taking advantage of a balloon gone down of head by Araújo to convert the so much of the victory.
Ansu Fati
The '10' ingresó in the final stretch, just when the Betis attained to discount and put pressure to the Barça. Raphinha Seems to win him the titularity to the of Bissau, the one who with exception of the extention in front of the Betis in the semis of the Supercopa Spanish has not begun well the year.
Ferran Torres
To the equal that Ansu, added residual minutes in Benito Villamarín. The turn of Lewandowski seems to condemn him to the bench after a wintry market in which it put him in the list of transferibles. If it does not improve his performance in the second half of season, will go out with security in summer.
Franck Kessié
The marfileño ingresó by Pedri to two minutes for the end and hardly touched the balloon while it was in field. To continue to this rhythm, will be very difficult that the ex mediocentro of the AC Milan attain to ensure a place in the staff for the 2023/24, by which can be used like coin of change in the market of summer.
