In Frankfurt were Frenkie of Jong and Ousmane Dembélé, whereas in Valencia were Pedri González and Gavi the players that marked the difference and gave air to the FC Barcelona for the 'punch' final in the research of a positive result. They were keys so that the Barcelona group stepped extra and fulfilled, to perfection, the requests of Xavi Hernández. The difference saw in the marker.
Against Valencia, the party him atascó to the Barça by almost an hour. The Barcelona group saw without shine and with doubts in all the lines. Only they were appearing Marc-André ter Stegen and Eric García to give him an extra life to the culés, but was insufficient. Xavi gave entry to Gavi and Pedri in the minute 56 and both commissioned of dinamizar the attack and give him 'another expensive' to a Barça that already was by behind in the marker (1-0) and that finish to see how Ter Stegen trapped the launching of Roger.
The Barça showed more incisive, surpassing lines more easily and with spirits to propose something new. Like effect dominated, arrived the tie, thanks to a 'chispazo' of Ousmane Dembélé, the one who although it was very missing (as all the attack), land sufficed a good played to mark the difference. The international with francia sent a big centre to the area from the band so that it appeared Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for cabecear to the deepest of the network 'granota'.
The 'baby boom' gave his effect shortly after and Pedri went back to mark, by second consecutive day and promoted by a big Gavi, the one who initiated a played sensacional by the right, leaving of Sound with quite a lot of ease, to take out a pass backwards, that hunted it Pedri González to finish at first with the interior to the long stick. Xavi had asked him that it kicked more... And the one of Tegueste is fulfilling without 'peros'.
A talk that changed to the Barça
Gavi And Pedri, beside Marc-André ter Stegen and Luuk of Jong, have been the big protagonists of the party, but also Xavi Hernández that has gone back to show that they can win parties from the bench... And from the changing room. The egarense desveló the talk that gave to the team in the rest that allowed to the culés jump to the field with energies renewed: "I Have warned that needed a course more. When you are dense, from my experience in the football, it is necessary to play easy. We were not for florituras. In the second part were more pulcros".
