New year, new life, the saying goes, but Xavi’s Barça remains the same. Another match with very poor play by the Blaugranas who had to come back from the 12th minute.
FC Barcelona have Iñaki Peña, Cancelo, Koundé Araújo, Balde, Frenkie de Jong, Gundogan, Sergi Roberto, Ferran Torres, Lewandowski, Leaf.
The start of the game was disrupted by the injury of João Cancelo in the 5th minute. The Portuguese has left with knee discomfort and is awaiting tests. Xavi gave entry to Christensen and placed Araújo on the right side. A few minutes later, Las Palmas made a good play through of the exazulgranas, Sandro and Munir, which ended with the Moroccan’s goal. From there, the pupils of Garcia Pimienta they planted a very advanced defensive line which forced Barça to have to look for diagonals behind the Canarian defense.
In the second half, Barça continued trying in the same way. The centre-backs were looking for Sergi Roberto’s unmarking without much precision, Ferran Torres and Raphinha who sneaked into the last third of the field. Until the 70th minute, the Terrassa coach did not move the bench and brought on Joao Felix y Lamine, by the late Lewandowski and Raphinha. A poor clearance by the local defense allowed the Barça captain to control the ball and leave it to Ferran Torres to tie the game. The “shark” was replaced by the debutante Vitor Roque and young Fermín entered through Sergi Roberto. In the last minute, Sinkgraven pushed Gundogan, who had the ball in goal, and the referee, González Fuertes, pointed out the maximum penalty and the expulsion for the Dutch. The former City player converted the penalty to give him the 3 points for the Barça team.
14 offsides for Barça
It is not usual to see this amount of “off-side” in 90′ of a match, but today between Balde and Raphinha they have forced the lineman to raise the flag on several occasions. Las Palmas had a very well marked defensive line, so it is difficult to understand why the Barça players could not measure correctly when they had to attack space.
The debut of “Tigrinho”
The 18-year-old forward has had 10 minutes to prove his worth. After 2-1, Victor Roque has been two very clear actions to be able to have their dream debut, but both have ended up out.
A match “made in Masia”
We know that the Barça quarry is one of the most important in the world and today up to 9 players participated, in addition to the two coaches. Mika Mármol, who played a real great game, Munir, scorer of the goal, Sandro, assistant, and Marc Cardona, by Las Palmas. Iñaki Peña, Sergi Roberto, Baldé and Lamine Yamal They have also participated in the last match of the first round.
