The FC Barcelona sacked of the UEFA Champions League of the best possible way. The Catalans knew deleted of the European competition from the past week after the victory of the Inter and the defeat in front of the Bayern, by what took the last party of the phase of groups in front of Viktoria Plzen like an opportunity to rest to the 'indisputable' and give him step to those footballers whose participation has seen diminished along the last days.
Like this then , Xavi Hernández went out to the terrain of game of the Doosan Sand with a team 'alternative', combining longevity (Gerard Hammered, Jordi Alba, Marcos Alonso...) With youth (Pablo Tower, Iñaki Crag, Gavi, Ansu Fati...). Conscious of the importance to finish his participation in the maximum competition of clubs of the continent with the head in 'high', the footballers jumped to the field with 'hunger' of victory, showing his superiority from the first minute.
In the middle of this group of veterans and novel, the quality of a 'crack' stood out above all. Such is the case of Raphinha, the one who assumed his role of player 'different' and went the attendant to add the danger 'extra' to the attacks of the team. In spite of not having his night more 'lucida', the incommensurable talent sobrepuso to any imprecision and was sufficient to mark differences in the result. Like this then , a precise centre envoy by the '22' from the edge of the area was received by Jordi Alba, the one who yielded the balloon with the head to Ferran Torres so that this finished to palcer and put the 0-2 that expanded the advantage culé.
Of the same form, Raphinha left his 'footprint' direct in the statistics. It passed the minute 54 of the meeting when the sudamericano was enabled by Ferran Torres inside the area. When seeing surrounded of defenders and outlined to his bad leg, the player stuck and gave him back the spherical to the Spanish, that annotated the 1-3. Finally, and when it seemed that the Plzen could give him a 'fright' to the blaugranas, the 'brazuca' took out a glorious pass of the 'galley' to enable to Pablo Tower from the centre of the field as if of a 'marshal' treated . The 'jewel' culé found only in front of the goalkeeper and sent a zurdazo at the end of the networks to sentence the party with the 2-4 definite.
A 'hit' in the table
Of this way, the ex of Leeds takes a step forward and goes back to posit like main candidate to accompany to the 'fixed' Lewandowski and Dembélé in the offensive trident of the Barça. After the 'tropiezos' in front of the Inter and the Real Madrid, Xavi decided 'patear the board' and dispensed of the, until this moment, 'indisputable' Raphinha in the eleven initial. From that then, the '22' had not formed part of the alignment title, but his performance in front of the Czechs could be sufficient reason to have a new opportunity.
