Sergio Busquets went back to be title this Wednesday in the eighth of final of Glass of the King against the Ray Vallecano. Only he, Ronald Araújo, Frenkie of Jong. Óscar Mingueza and Antoine Griezmann repeated titularity after the meeting in Elche. In the case of the of Badia, there were not a lot of doubts that it went to be in Vallecas, since presumably it went to lose the duel of this Sunday in League against the Athletic Club.
The past Sunday, the mediocentro saw his fifth yellow card in the Martínez Valero, by what except surprise did not go to be able to be in the Camp Nou in front of the 'lions'. By this reason, Ronald Koeman did not think in giving him rest in spite of his 32 years and was the 90 minutes in front of the Ray. This decision of the Dutch technician has not been able to be more hit, since the Committee of Competition confirmed recently the punishment of the Catalan.
The Committee did not have doubts and confirmed the cardboard that took him out in Elche to the international Spanish, the fifth of the campaign. The played in question seemed clear, since Busquets arrived late in an action with Barragán and demolished him preventing his exit to the against. For this reason, the '5' will see from the terracing the commitment against the Athletic for misfortune of a Barcelona that will miss to his lighthouse in the centre of the field.
It is necessary to remember that the one of Badia only has lost a crash in the light championship in what it goes of campaign. It was against the Athletic of Madrid in Wanda Metropolitan by injury, and in him the Barcelona fell by 1-0 against the leader. The ones of Ronald Koeman threw in fault to his 'boss' in the midfield and did not know to drill the solid defence of the colchoneros, that this day showed the reason by which are the favourite maxima to win the title.
Pjanic Will be to title against the Athletic
In front of the absence of Sergio, there is not any doubt that the Dutch trainer will resort to Miralem Pjanic. The bosnio did not play neither an alone minute in Vallecas this Wednesday and everything aims that it will go out of start the Sunday. In League, the one of Tuzla only has played when the technician has wanted to give him rest to the '5' or when the Spanish has not been available. In this case, it will be by the second and the Balkan will be to title by fourth time in what it goes of championship.
It will be necessary to see which performance gives the ex of the Juventus of Turín, to the that is costing him more than the expected adapt to the Barcelona. For now, it is very far to be headline for Koeman and has not left a big split to date in any of his apparitions. It has left details and good feelings in as which moments, but has to give more. Against the Athletic will have a new opportunity to follow improving and showing that it can be important in the Camp Nou.
