After an uncomfortable beginning, shook the pressure and finish goleando to a picture 'colchonero' that had not lost in his house in the domestic championship. To fault of nine days for the end, there are not options to abandon the battle.

It is not a secret for anybody that the visits to the Metropolitan always are 'cheat' for a Barça that knew played too much. The environment, more taut that never by the return of Joao Félix to which a day was his house, the party painted like one of the more 'hot' of the season... And it has not disappointed. Xavi Hernández had surprised in his alignment with changes in all the lines and the absence, of last hour, of a lesionado Andreas Christensen. Against an Athletic 'rocky', cost them find fluidity in the game, but in the attack signed a meeting without waste.

Of the discomfort to the tranquility in the Metropolitan

And it is that, although the Athletic of Madrid was upper in what to the game refers and presionaba constantly to the culés in the area of Marc-André ter Stegen, were not having the necessary lucidity to generate clear occasions or finish to the arch. To the Catalans lis cost to surpass the half of the field and saw how Pablo Neighbourhoods, Riquelme or Morata strolled in the area and put to work more than the account to Araújo and Pau Cubarsí, although without evident danger.

The fortune for the Barça was that, although the game was not the showiest and lost a lot of duels in the centre of the field, in the last pass were much finer that his rival. Raphinha Had the goal after a big sending of Lewandowski to the second stick, but could not connect his head butt to the goal. The Barcelona, in two or three passes, were able to impose in the rival area and Joao Félix, that did to cost the law of the ex and that silenció the pitidos in the Cívitas Metropolitan, left it more than clear in the straight final of the first time.

Gündogan Filtered a good pass so that Lewandowski colara in the area and sent a big centre so that the Portuguese pushed the balloon to the network with a subtle shot, unappealable for Jan Oblak. The good feelings had continuity in the resumption because, in the first played, the Polish forward dressed of 'killer' to increase to two the advantage: Rodrigo of Paul made a mistake in a delivery and gave the balloon so that the '9', that coló in the area, took out a shot crossed, very adjusted, that touched in the stick before colarse in the deepest of the goal.

Insufficient reaction of the Athletic and sentence of the Barça

The goal caused that the Athletic, irremediablemente, went out in a torrent to look for the discount that put him in the party, but without fortune and topándose with the 'wall' of Marc-André ter Stegen. Riquelme was the first in testing with a shot from the beak of the area that repelled the guardameta, before a double occasion in which it dressed of hero without layer: Blocó a finish of Marco Llorente and, in the refuse, Memphis connected a finish point-blank that it also commanded was the one of Mönchengladbach.

They were the only minutes of 'glory' of an Athletic that remained to half gas sooner of what any one expected , considering that in this season had converted the Cívitas Metropolitan in a fortín in which it had not won any team in LaLiga. It was absolute merit of a picture culé that won them in the transitions and that knew to take advantage of of the errors in the mark. Lewandowski Had his doublet, happened the hour of party, after a long pass of Ter Stegen. It won him the game to Savic, but erró in a his shot inside the area. In the following, claimed .

Jules Koundé gave a pass backwards so that the ex of the Bayern of Munich took out a big centre from the right, finding to Fermín López that arrived from second line and connected to time a head butt to surpass to Oblak and put earth of by half. The uncomfortable of the first part, in which the Barça was not able to flow, turned into tranquility and tarpaulin for a picture blaugrana that resists to give LaLiga by stray and that leaves to the stop of selections with the feeling to having done the works for 'contest him', to the end, the title to the Real Madrid.
