The thing about the kids in Barcelona is from another world. It is true that all the praise is for Raphinha, there would be more, after his exhibition. But the staging of Fermín, Casadó and Lamine Yamal It’s pure caviar. The first two are ‘heavy’. Playing against them is a real ordeal. Because they don’t stop running, passing, closing passing lanes… And they don’t get tired. One play after another. Real machines that are totally unbearable for rivals who do not give a second of respite.
But it’s not just running, don’t let anyone be fooled. And that’s the greatness of these kids. Because with the ball at their feet they are another marvel. To give you an idea, the four goals came from assists from these three players. In the first two, Fermín was the architect (in the second with theft of the ball and mischief included); In the third the long pass was from Casadó and in the fourth it was Lamine’s turn to make a first pass of 30 meters that was simply perfect. By the way, the latter gave a dribble recital to overcome Bayern’s pressure. Laminate in its purest form.
The Lewandowski thing is non-stop. He already has 15 goals and this time he scored a goal against his ex. But the Polish thing is starting to be much more than his goals, and there are quite a few of them, because he doesn’t stop moving all over the field, going down to receive, fighting for all the high balls with his rivals, pressing high up… And on top of that, a gentleman. He scored and didn’t celebrate.
Lewandowski celebra su goal.
Barça’s defense is a horror movie. It goes from scare to scare. That line located practically in the center of the field means that at every moment the rival, and especially if they have quality like Bayern, creates a dangerous opportunity for you in each attack. It is true that many times they are caught offside and nothing has happened here, but in others they are very easy to face Iñaki Peña. We will see with Vinicius and Mbappé.
Raphinha add and continue. Every game is a spectacle. He is the captain by armband and he is the captain by what he does on the field of play. They only needed 57 seconds to pierce the rival goal. And then another and later the hat-trick. Every day more. He never gets tired. Barcelona’s best signing.
It must have something to do with all this. Hansi Flick. The numbers he has in the confrontations between Barcelona and Bayern are still curious, being on a different bench each time. In total it is 12-3 in their favor (8-2 with Bayern, 4-1 with Barça). And in both matches, giving a show.
