Hans-Dieter Flick's team missed first at the Camp Nou, but then managed to turn the game around.
Football's new calendar will begin with matches for the Spanish Super Cup. In order not to disturb the national history, the teams that will take part in the final part of this tournament will play their matches of the nineteenth round a month earlier.. Insanely, when the standoff between Catalan Barcelona and Atletico Madrid at the Camp Nou was awkward.
The competition for the participation of the first and fourth teams in the tournament table could not help but attract the respect of the watching audience around the world. Tim especially, since, brothers and sisters, with respect to the continuity of these teams since last season, it would be impossible to call them rock and roll otherwise.. Before the speech, the “mattress guys” once won in the “Blaugranas”, and it turned out to be the same, but also in Montjuic.
How long ago did Simeone, at the Camp Nou, decide to demonstrate that he is the same as the decision of the coaches of Barsi's rival clubs, having already thoroughly read the style of the team of Hans-Dieter Flick and knowing how to counteract it?. Atletico continued to work for the transfer of quick passes to the attack line behind the backs of the defenders, and even on the 19th half, when Baena came under Molina’s pass from the top half, he already beat Joan Garcia in someone else’s penalty area. The kicker was initially found to be offside, but then the goal was ruled out.
Barcelona had been dominating the ball so far, it was definitely not planned. It was impossible to work only with passes to the foreigner, and after that, already on the 26th line, Pedri took over, when he pushed Rafina to the right flank of someone else’s free kick, and then beautifully beat Oblak, after which he dropped the ball. Swede's growing position behind the rack from the side of the Catalans later turned into a growing pressure on the other half.
And with this success, the rulers could quickly turn this group around. For which, having lost everything, Olmo, if in the fight against Barrios on the right flank of the penalty kick, he fell onto the lawn, thereby earning a penalty, Lewandowski took the ball, and then the kick was thrown without a trademark from the distribution of the Pole flying over. And now the Mav forward will recover, but after losing the duel to Oblak, who pulled off a close blow with his head.
In this manner, the important battle of the game was postponed to another half, since it was now important to give someone the advantage, but it was also clear that Atletico Madrid is more often tempted to defend itself against those in power, rather than attack others. The Barca team did not back down, and in the 65th half of the game, Olmo and Lewandowski's shot in the center of someone else's free kick ended with a shot under the right post of Dani. Skoda, who is at fault for injuring his shoulder if he fell on the lawn under the hour of death.
The “mattress people” then realized that, despite their desire to inflict no result, the fight would have been little, so they had to open up and injure themselves on the new appearance of superniks. From the rest of Barca, before speaking, I didn’t have to worry, and from the power of the authorities there are still few problems. It was especially bad in the episode with Almada and his penalty for 80 minutes, and after such a nasty blow, the final decision was made with a right hand. And finally Simeone’s team didn’t achieve their goal, so they naturally finished off with a goal at the compensation hour from Ferran, who closed Balde’s cross from the left flank.
In the upcoming match, Catalan Barcelona will host Betis of Seville, while Atletico Madrid will go to the derby against Basque Athletic.
