On Saturday at Camp Nou, FC Barcelona faced Real Madrid in El Clásico, here’s the result, what happened and what we came from the domestic playoff.
Koeman has about young people with his programming
Insisting that other young people will have to play to gain experience, the coach showed his religion in this mantra starting with Ansu Fati and Pedri, 17.
Abandoning Antoine Griezmann for the latter is a huge move, while Sergino Dest has become the first American to start in the biggest club football game ahead of Sergi Roberto.
Worst start imaginable
Philippe Coutinho hit the ball as he watched, Karim Benzema scored a better pass en route to Fede Valverde, who beat Gerard Piqué in an open defense and saw the young Uruguayan beat an unfortunate Neto.
1-0 after minutes.
Ansu Fati quickly
Hitting at home up close and helped through Jordi Alba, the teenage sensation can now upload the score of El Clásico to its already long list of achievements.
Unfortunately, he failed to achieve his youngest goal, the goal scorer for a few days, but can move on from home saying he scored FCB’s 400th goal against his fierce rivals.
As if he wanted to discover how strange and unpredictable 2020 is, Casemiro reserved
Hacking Messi, the captain had previously had a large framed blow comfortably stored through Thibaut Courtois.
Brilliant Messi to approach the goal
Fati and Philippe Coutinho worked the ball, Messi dribbling into the area and passing the ball past Ramos before Courtois turned down the Argentine in the Belgian’s first club.
Tips from start to finish
Immediately afterwards, Benzema blocked Neto six metres away, an exciting equality so far with less than 30 minutes elapsed.
Dest strong on the tackle
In a damaging streak of Marco Asensio, Ajax’s new signing made company and prevented Casemiro from running at his own pace. In the immediate succession of the closure of Vinicius Jr, the American alien had been remarkable so far.
Pedri so much
Koeman showed courage in deciding on the young man, but did not waste the afternoon with only 10 passes out of the 15 completed.
Possession had been in Madrid’s favour
Not that visitors have more ball than Barca at home, but the statistics, as shown below, do not lie.
All at half-time
At the end of the day, 1-1 is probably a fair score so far. The action slowed down a little after an hour of frantic opening, but it’s still fascinating. Both managers can be happy with their team’s contribution, even if it’s a necessity. you have to locate a winner after the interval.
Fati came here roaring from the slopes
Deceiving everyone, adding Ramos while the pass was the simplest option, Fati fired a little beyond Courtois’s pole.
Hitting a big ball for Coutinho, the Brazilian has gone home but can only touch the side net.
Dest came.
Among those occasions, the right-back showed a perfect set of feet by converting in and out of the doors of a trio of Real Madrid players. Ability to pay bills.
The VAR moves through Real Madrid
Ramos and Clement Lenglet either pulled their sleeves while waiting for a dead ball to enter the area, but around the time the generation once returned played in favor of the whites and the Spanish boss changed the resulting penalty.
Surprisingly, it was his first kick against Barca.
75 minutes and still no substitutes
Strange to Koeman for saying the least, his team pursued the tie in vain.
Vini Jr gave away a loose kick in Messi territory the Busquets hack
Crossed by the wall, I had this kind of afternoon for the hosts.
Finally some switches
With minutes remaining in the discount time, Koeman made a triple replacement by introducing Griezmann, Francisco Trincao and Ousmane Dembele.
A very good double backup of Neto
Preventing Toni Kroos from moving twice, the substitute goalkeeper and then Sergio Ramos.
Insult to the wound
Neto came here out of his net, after rushing to meet Vini Jr, Modric kept his composure and placed one in an almost empty purpose with the outside of his boot.
Messi’s old expression told a story.
FC Barcelona are now without victories of four
Having been unable to save 3 issues since the goal at the gates of Celta de Vigo, his record is one draw and two consecutive losses in his last league outings.
Juventus are waiting on Wednesday and, unlike Ferencvaros, it is winning on the continent that the Blaugrana can cheer the up.
Once again, Koeman deserves the credit for his ambitious selections, but Barca stopped betting and the head fell behind who turned out to be Ramos’ winner. Also, the substitutions took too long to take effect.
