The FC Barcelona was not able to add the third consecutive victory in LaLiga Santander and left two points against the Valency in the Camp Nou
It could not be. The FC Barcelona looked for a third consecutive victory in LaLiga that approached to the team of Ronald Koeman to the highest positions of the table, but a big Valencia closed the door. The Barcelona did the most difficult, that was to trace back the initial goal of Mouctar Diakhaby with targets of Leo Messi and Ronald Araújo, but a so much of Maxi Gómez avoided a victory that had been of gold.
The start of party of the FC Barcelona was not so arrollador like which had against the Real Sociedad, but the Barcelona himself achieved to shut to Valencia in his field. This yes, the ones of Javi Gracia had very clear that, to avoid greater evils against the ones of Ronald Koeman, needed to accumulate to a lot of defenders by the centre and give the bands to bottle the attacks culés.
With the step of the minutes, Valencia achieved to shake of on the command of the FC Barcelona and even was able to generate occasions to put to proof to Marc-André ter Stegen. Especially with game very direct, looking for long balloons for the careers of Gonçalo Guedes, that went the man that more danger brought near of the goal of the cancerbero German.
Three losses of balloon of Sergio Busquets, Ronald Araújo and Sergiño Dest derived in approaches of Valencia, the clearest with a shot of Gonçalo Guedes. To the half hour of game, the ones of Javi Gracia advanced in a played of strategy: Antoine Griezmann lost the mark of Mouctar Diakhaby and the defence valencianista cabeceó entirely only to put by in front to the 'ches'.
The FC Barcelona had a big occasion to the contragolpe, with a toneless finish of Antoine Griezmann with the right after a good driving of Pedri. Valencia answered with an occasion tremenda that could suppose the 0-2, but Marc-André ter Stegen saved the goal of Maxi Gómez after uina big played of the ones of the capital of the Túria.
The injury time of the first period was a madness. Hernández Hernández signalled a doubtful penalti of José Luis Gayá on Antoine Griezmann and expelled to the valencianista, although it reviewed the action in the VAR and withdrew the red to the lateral 'che'. Jaume Domènech detained the launching of Leo Messi and, in second played, the Argentinian finished of head a centre pumped to put the tables in the marker.
Araújo Mark but Maxi Gómez avoids the victory
Ronald Koeman moved the bench in the rest and gave gone in to Frenkie of Jong by Sergio Busquets in the position of pivote, reconverting also the 4-3-3 initial by the 4-2-3-1 more usual of the technician culé. The first that found the culés was with a clear occasion of Valencia, with Cheryshev splicing a finish bitten from inside the area that strolled by in front of the goal of Marc-André ter Stegen.
But, curiously, it went the FC Barcelona the one who struck first in the second time. And it was, curiously, from another played of strategy in which Ronald Araújo merodeaba merodeaba by the area. In a combination between Pedri and Antoine Griezmann, the central Uruguayan hunted a balloon inside the area and finished it with an acrobatic volley to which Jaume Domènech could not arrive.
The goal of the FC Barcelona did not scare to a Valency that began to recover terrain although, in this case, the occasions fell of both sides. Antoine Griezmann and Martin Braithwaite had the best occasions for the Barcelona, whereas Racic warned for the ones of Javi Gracia. Finally, a centre of José Gayá finished by Maxi Gómez finished with the tie of the 'ches'.
After the goal of Valencia, the FC Barcelona advanced lines in search of the goal of the victory and occasions did not be missing him. Philippe Coutinho, by double game, brushed the goal with two shots with thread. Óscar Mingueza also tried it from the long distance, whereas Leo Messi tested some shot that found with the hands of Jaume Domènech. At all it was sufficient to break the tie, by what the culés follow without chaining more than two victories followed.
