Ceasefire in Catalan derby with frozen league penalty

Conscious of the importance of the match for the league to deal a -almost-conclusive blow, Xavi Hernandez came out with all the meat on the skewer and comes back to plan with three forwards. for gallon ansu fati on the far left of the attack and also Eric Garcia on the defensive axis; both chain two championships in local competition.

Far from the unfortunate images of Espanyol fans in Montilivi on the last day of the league, brotherhood reigned in Camp Nou between the supporters of Barça and Girona, two very similar clubs. A very festive and family atmosphere Easter Monday. Mateu Lahoz did not have the same reception that was constantly booed by Estadi’s grandstands.

good show

Two tempting offers for both partial and unbiased fans in the Spotify Camp Nou field. Two teams signed character and rhythm, the two goals followed each other and Xavi and Míchel looked at him from the same point of view from both technical points of view. They started by attacking Girona, but aftershocks followed in the Gazzaniga area. In fact, the Argentine goalkeeper saved a very poisonous transfer from former Blaugrana Bueno from under the sticks.

The 10th minute of the match came and the Estadi stands repeated a slogan that had become a tradition until the end of the season: “Messi, Messi“It echoed in the Les Corts neighborhood. The people are sovereign and want the return of the greatest football player in history.

Raphinha tried twice from the left flank, both with almost no angles: the first towards the long post and the second towards the short post. But, The clearest chance of the match came from Araujo’s boots.. The Uruguayan made an impossible shot from the corner, just short of the first and behind. The ball went towards the opponent’s goal and Gazzaniga saved it over the line. So much so that the ball went over it, but not quite. As a result, the footballers entered the locker room tunnel with a great football show, but there was no goal: football sauce.

no spark

Xavi and Míchel chose to make a change to their team: Opportunity for Kessie and Aleix Garcia to the detriment of a prudent person Sergi Roberto and Borja Garcia, respectively. The first big chance of the second half came quickly: Eric Garcia’s header from a narrowly missed corner.

But the clearest came from the team that carried the flag. Castellanos failed the inexcusable Despite help from Tsyhankov, after receiving a leaky ball that left him alone against Ter Stegen. The Argentine chose to end the action himself and his shot missed the goal in disbelief for all Girona people. He was replaced by Stuani a few minutes later.

Girona took the game to their home ground: A draw with Barça at home is no small thing, in fact, they did it for the second time in their history. Blaugrana began to despair, but success waned by three quarters of the field and the Gironans knew all the magic tricks of the Culé forwards. Raphinha tried, but her will was not enough, Ansu Fati insisted without a reward, and Lewandowski continued her special exclusion.

and without wealth

Xavi shook the lead and brought in Ferran Torres and Jordi Alba to punch through the left-handed lane with a double from the side. However, a triangulation came by the old guard: Busquets merged with the one from L’Hospitalet and at first wanted to unite with Lewandowski, but the visiting wall blocked this connection.

Barça did not lower their arms and Finding a loophole in Girona’s crowded defense, between lines or with lateral centers. But when he didn’t want to, he didn’t and the ball refused to cross the goal line. Already on stoppage time, Lewandowski tossed a coin into the air with a heel strike inside the field… and did neither. The Spotify Camp Nou score remained stable and there was a score distribution. Barça will face Getafe at the Alfonso Pérez Coliseum, starting at 16:15 on Sunday, April 16, on the next match day of the League.
