Two minutes lasted the joy for Koeman and his men in the first-half of the final of the Supercopa of Spain. Because, shortly after the goal of Griezmann, the Athletic tied with De Marcos

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Although it is true that the first 40 minutes of the final of the Supercopa of Spain 2021 characterised by the fault of clear opportunities of goal so much for the Barça as for the Athletic, in the last five minutes of the first act both teams found the inspiration scorer. And it is that the Barcelona, that gave before with the gunpowder that with the game, advanced in the electronic thanks to a played mark of the house.

Leo Messi knitted the attack unfolding a balloon to the left band, from where Jordi Alba progressed to give back afterwards the balloon, raso, to the balcony of the area. The '10' finished, but his shot was repelled by a defender and Antoine Griezmann, also from the aledaños of the area, collected the ball to define with a shot raso that could not detain Unai Simón.

It was the 0-1 for the FC Barcelona in The Cartuja, that Ronald Koeman and all the members of the bench culé celebrated to the big when knowing that the team had not found until then the good game, and that was costing him horrors approach to put it of the 'lions'. However, the joy lasted very little for the interests blaugrana, and possibly served of element of distraction for the defence.

And it is that, hardly two minutes afterwards, Iñaki Williams received to the edge of the area culé and filtered a perfect balloon for the arrival of Óscar Of Frames from the right band. Neither Ter Stegen neither Lenglet arrived to time to avoid that the Basque player received, and at first achieved empatar the party for incredulity of Koeman and of his companions in the Barcelona footpath.

Vase of cold water for the Barça

Too easy for the 'lions', and also too fast. The Barça was not of the all concentrated in the helps and neither in the balloons filtered to the back, thing that paid very expensive in front of an Athletic with a lot of more confidence in his possibilities since Marcelino arrived to the bench.

The case is that the first-half finished like this, with 1-1 in the marker and a possession of ball very equalised. Maximum balance in practically all the facets of the game for both teams, showing once again that the Barça would have to sweat blood to try surpass to his rival. Before initiating the second act, Koeman entered to Mingueza by Dest in the position of right side. It can that by annoyances of the American... Or for changing the dynamics of the group culé in distinct phases of the game.
