a target Pedro Gonzalez chose the first half Barça duel against Celta (1-0) To continue at the top of the standings in a match where the Galicians have the best chance in the second half and deserve better chances.
The leader will come barca to the Bernabeu next week, but with bad feelings. Although they prevented him from adding anything at Camp Nou between Ter Stegen and the post, he had by far the worst game of the field against Celta, who had a chance to win.
And the best thing for Barcelona was the result.. Either he lacked composure or he had pulled the handbrake. Barcelona did not offer good vibes. He controlled the game in the first half and gave up in the second half.
Of course, this was due to the defense of the conditions with up to three left-backs in four positions, or the fact that the head had already moved into the close game where everything was at stake against Inter Milan on Wednesday.
booked Xavi Hernandez Put Eric García and Marcos Alonso in the center; Dembélé decided it was time to switch sides, with Raphinha on the right, Ferran on the left, and Gavi and Pedri instead.
Beyond the great work of Gavi, again sublime in healing and in Busquets’ prudence, Barcelona was stagnant in the first half.
Raphinha volunteered, Ferran started well but got confused and in the first episode, Lewandoski didn’t even appear. The Brazilian was the first to put Marchesín to the test with a long shot 11 minutes later, well resolved by the Celtic goalkeeper.
Ferran warned after a great pass from Busquets and the Barça metronome started the game 1-0. Lewandowski cleared the defensive center, Gavi entered from behind Aidoo, crossed over, and Unai Núñez badly walked away. Pedri (min. 17) was definitely netted in one of the easiest goals of his career.
Celta, so withdrawn, tried to get out knives he already counted on Larsen’s great backplay, but Ter Stegen’s target didn’t bother him much. A single service that re-emerged today from Aspas that Cervi was unable to reach was all it offered in the attack.
Barcelona, although boring, had more comers like Jordi Alba’s shot. (min 24), this one came out a bit. In the last game of the first half, the locals took a penalty against Raphinha in the 41st minute and Piqué took a clear shot in the 45th minute.
And how Vigueses saw that azulgrana was not goodThey smelled blood and went to the game. Óscar Rodríguez failed to take advantage of a great pass from Aspas in the 48th minute, and then the Celtics’ double entry in the 58th minute was settled by Marcos Alonso.
Ter Stegen was also not good and Gabri Veiga couldn’t gain an advantage in the 59th minute. Seeing the wolf’s ears, Xavi engaged Ansu, Dembélé, and De Jong for Ferran, Raphinha, and Pedri in search of more freshness, but it was Celta who continued the Repression.
Even the Galicians managed to score goals in 1970 thanks to Larsen., in a game canceled by the previous offside. Barcelona remained at the mercy of Celta until the end of the match.
So Iago Aspas took action in 84 but couldn’t beat Ter Stegen; and shortly after Hugo Mallo finished near the left post of the local castle.
Celta deserved it, and Dembélé’s image was that of his team’s uneven play.. In the final part of the match, Aspas silenced the Camp Nou with his every move, and Carles Pérez, until recently a boy from La Masia, sowed the danger with two open shots.
By 94 Paciencia finished Ter Stegen’s post. In the end, Barça won, but they could have lost, a good result for a bad game three days before their Champions League future was in jeopardy.
