At Camp Nou on Sunday, FC Barcelona faced Sevilla in La Liga, here’s the result, what happened and what we came from the playoff.
Ronald Araujo, the only major replacement on Ronald Koeman’s team
By sanction imposed on Clement Lenglet. Apart from that, the initial line-up has not changed since the brave 0-3 victory on the road against Celta de Vigo last Thursday.
The young Uruguayan did get nervous
As is apparent from this pre-match goal that is then played after 16 minutes against it last year, the central still had a point to prove.
Worst start imaginable
From a short corner, Suso and Joan Jordan played the ball around the Blaugrana jerseys and entered the area so the former could throw a curved center.
Bouncing perfectly in his path, the ball nevertheless reached Luuk de Jong, who crushed him against the roof of the net against Neto.
For the first time in Koeman’s time, Barcelona has a purpose on the ground.
The advance lasted a long time
Lionel Messi’s cross delicious. And if he was really on his way to reaching out to Jordi Alba, who would have played it smoothly on the Brazilian’s way, Jesús Navas intercepted and prepared Philippe Coutinho anyway.
By turning the part of your frame into an almost empty Bonus network, the purple patch of number 14 continues with a purpose that matches your two assists.
I was 1-1 in just 10 minutes, and we had a game here.
A little scare for Barca in front of 20 minutes
Perfectly described through Athletic’s Dermot Corrigan. The winners of the Europa League are good, and this will be the “90-minute fight” koeman predicted.
Antoine Griezmann had a chance
Turning around Diego Carlos, the Frenchman approached a kick that, despite Ansu Fati’s help, almost entirely created himself. If his first touch had not been so strong, Grizi could have given him a more comfortable advantage.
Seville had been the team until now
It’s a simple conclusion after part of an hour’s rest. Tight and keeping the shape when they returned in numbers, the Andalusians also seemed detrimental in the counterattack with an aggregate of long passes from one band to another and short balls in the center.
Frenkie de Jong came down slightly
He gave it to Suso on the edge of the area, he also played with his opposing namesake when the ball entered, however, in the face of Julen Lopetegui’s protests, no penalty was given.
Leo Messi came closer before the break
Cut from the right wing, the captain’s effort slid beyond Bono’s pole and his first purpose of the open play of this fourth remained elusive.
All in half
Barca was bad, but he stayed behind on his own ground thanks to a much safer team of himself.
Highlights include Araujo, who exuded the air of a veteran of this level, and Coutinho, whose confidence continues to grow.
But Koeman needed anything or change course and break the opposition to get ahead.
Griezmann’s most obvious low confidence
Another fantastic long ball from Araujo, which was almost a copy of the one that had seen him locate Fati before, sent Griezmann to the entrance, but his poor back nearby dropped the World Cup winner, who wants an elevator as soon as possible and can paint him for the Blues in the coming weeks.
Pedri and Francisco Trincao were once Koeman’s double submarines
Hired for Griezmann and Fati, the couple entered the procedure much earlier this time on time.
Araujo scored an opposing goal on his side
Sergi Roberto for the beat, the ball in front of Youssef En-Nesyri went off Araujo’s right foot and broke the bar.
On the sidelines, new recruit Sergino Dest can be noticed warming up along Miralem Pjanic.
Jordi Alba left injured, allowing Dest to debut
Introduced with Pjanic because there were about 15 minutes to lose, it was a sunflower control for the two summer acquisitions. Destination in particular, since it is a right-back herbarium but had to supply canopy on the opposite flank.
Look for the end, De Jong the striker
In the middle of the middle of the moment, the fundamental connection gave Barca a chance, but the Dutch star may not make his shot when Busquets discovered it closely.
Each
At the end of an action-packed night, the loot cast was probably a fair result: Barca leads the final, may not take advantage of a flurry of opportunities and head for the foreign breakup in fifth place while 3 Real Madrid leading points with hand match.
