The French connection of Barcelona Tame Lions

 

 

 

The quality of this match from the point of view of Barcelona can be measured by the fact that, at the end of the suite, no one really cared about the way Lionel Messi won, or would have won.

Most would say that it is worth every penny, but it's a discussion for another day. His perfect free kick was enough to stick to those who had a day of land Sunday once the titles El Mundo broke. Six hundred and fifty and count.

No, it was BARCA back to somewhere approaching their best for the most part, and against an athletic club too physical to start, let's not forget.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was great to see the Blaugranes getting happening occasionally and not let Los Leones have his way in this regard.

Ronald Koeman will not have been too happy with the regularity that visitors broke the right side of Barca and in a more unknown role that usually, Oscar Mingueza was found wanted.

His defenses, however, like his colleagues, at least had a goal, and he will learn to have to take such a beat if he still has to depute Sergino Dest.

Barca certainly deserved the victory at night and had a small part of the contributions of Ousmane Dambele and Antoine Grieuzmann.

I would even like to propose to suggest that it was the best performance of Dembele in a barca shirt to date. He was everywhere.

A constant threat on the canals, a mustache a few opportunities to obtain a goal and the type of defense that has rarely been seen from him.

Ditto Griezmann. We came to understand how much he works for the team, whether or not he is on the score sheet, and when he ends as he did Sunday, he is sublime. Mingueza gets congratulations for a beautiful cross too.

Griezmann's work rate was great, his point of passage on the principal and goal that takes Barca above the true Madrid in the table is very soft.

Samuel Umtiti probably deserves a mention. Never the fastest players, he was able to use his indirectly we can fight the Inki Williams incisive.

 

 

Athletic Look at a different proposal under Marcelino, and there will be no too many teams that will repel their incessant current, breaking deep and physical capacities.

Do not be mistaken, this is a very well won three points indeed.
