The FC Barcelona showed from the first minute that was in Arabia to carry the Supercopa home. The culés completed some grandísimos 45 first minutes and only was missing them the goal so that the first-half was perfect. The Athletic of Madrid hardly upset put it of Net and baled out waters as it could in front of the continuous arrivals of the ones of Ernesto Valverde. The goals arrived in a second part in which the Barça finish falling after a new ridiculous defensive.
The same that sucedió with the Real Madrid in front of Valencia, almost the whole of the King Abudullah shouted in support of the Barcelona, that intentaton offer him to all the assistants a good show. The first minutes, nevertheless, went something rugged and two players rojiblancos were near to leave lesionados. First it was Ángel Correa after an aparatoso crash with Net, and later was Oblak, that received a hit and had to receive assistance. Finally, both could continue in the terrain of game without apparent problems.
The Atleti held backwards the push of the Barça with an Oblak spectacular as almost always. The esloveno, already recovered of the hit that received, took him out to Leo Messi the first occasion of the party in the 22. The Argentinian connected a good shot crossed after a played individual, but the put colchonero cleared without problems. Little by little, the Barcelona was pushing more and more to the ones of the Cholo to backwards and the party turned into a monologue culé.
The Barça touched with tarpaulin and speed, but the Atleti defended with nails and teeth. The blaugrana also tried it to unemployed balloon and were to centimetres to advance after a big combed of Griezmann. The French touched it to backwards in the first stick and Savic cleared 'in extremis' when Suárez already had to finish to few metres of the goal. Héctor Herrera, of fault, tried to answer, but Net did not have problems to cut across the shot.
To the team barcelonista only was missing him the goal to top his big first part and could mark it before the rest. The barcelonistas pillaron to the Athletic to the against and Griezmann remained only in front of Oblak after a big pass of Luis Suárez. The French wanted to define with his already classical 'picadita' with the left-handed, but the esloveno covered all the gaps and took out the balloon when half stadium already sang goal. The first time did not finish with goal, but yes with hammer of Joao Félix with half Barça after an action with Jordi Alba.
Second very crazy and ridiculous part of the Barça
With the most calmed spirits began a second half in which the first big sobresalto arrived very soon. Koke, that had jumped to the field in the rest by Herrera, took advantage of a big pass of Ángel Correa to define in front of Net and advance to an Atleti that until this moment practically had not existed. Joao Félix initiated the played after a loss of Vidal, that until this moment was doing an excellent party.
But the Barça had not travelled so many kilometres to surrender so prompt and Leo Messi dictated his law only six minutes afterwards. The Argentinian took advantage of a rebound inside the area to put it with the right where this time Oblak could not arrive. The Barcelona were with the subidón to have empatado and less than ten minutes afterwards the '10' went back to do magic to put the 2-1 with a big finish with his left-handed.
But the VAR did not want that the golazo of the captain of the Barcelona went up to the marker and the referee finish cancelling the so much by hand of Leo. After the control, the one of Rosario carried the ball with the hand and like this was as it accommodated the shot. Although it seemed involuntary, after seeing it in the screen on foot of field the referee did not doubt in cancelling the played. But the culés wanted to celebrate a goal was as it was and only a pair of minutes later Griezmann took advantage of the rebound after a stop of Oblak to head butt of Suárez to mark the 2-1.
The culés knew that with the second could not to cost them and a pass magistral of Messi to Arturo Vidal propició the 3-1 of Gerard Hammered that the VAR went back to cancel. The Chilean, that left him in tray the so much to the central, was offside by centimetres when Leo gave him the pass. This target had meant the sentence, but went the start of some very crazy minutes that finish condemning to the Barça.
Last minutes of authentic madness
But the colchoneros took advantage of the doubts of the Barcelona after the so much cancelled and went back to filter another pass to the gap so that Vitolo caused a penalti in the one against one in front of Net. The same that in the goal of Koke, the defence blaugrana did waters and the Canarian took advantage of his speed by the band of Sergi Roberto. Morata Did not fail in the execution and empató a party that the ones of Simeone seemed to have almost impossible.
But the thing did not remain here and only a pair of minutes afterwards Hammered touched a balloon inside the area with the hand that could mean another penalti. After the review of the VAR, decided that the involuntary hand of the central was not punishable. In the field, any rojiblanco understood at all, but this did not avoid that they could execute to the Barça little later. The defence barcelonista went in in barrena and completed a ridiculous tremendo in the 2-3 with which Correa gave him the victory to the Athletic. The Argentinian went back to remain only against a Neo that touched the ball, but could not finish to take out it.
The target of the forward colchonero arrived when they still remained four minutes and the discount by in front, but left to the Barça in a position limit. The culés bet to the all or at all and Marcos Llorente almost sentences in the 90, but Net this time yes could save to his. I hammered it had it in the discount, but wasted the opportunity and his head butt went high. Few seconds afterwards the referee pitó the end of a crazy party in which the Barcelona of Valverde went back to disappoint by enésima time.
