Much has been said that Barça has recovered. That she found herself, her game and is ready to challenge Atlético. Today’s match was supposed to serve as a definitive indicator. The Real Sociedad, although it has not won any of its last ten fights against Barcelona, has learned to give the Catalans a fight. And he strove, according to the head coach, to play his own football.
But Barça played their football. It is not a sterile football, as happened before with Koeman, but a productive, efficient and rational football. The total advantage in possession of the ball was not just an advantage: the Blaugranas prepared their attacks by rolling the ball. There were not too many, but those who passed gave on the spot.
In the first half, for example, the score was 2: 0 in favor of the guests. It all started with the fact that Messi, on the outskirts of the penalty area, finished off several rivals and gave Alba on the move, Jordi’s shot, but Dembélé could not overcome Remiro in hand-to-hand combat. But Griezmann could no longer prevent his former team from scoring in the game on the final plays.
And while “Real Sociedad” was thinking about what was going to happen to him ahead, another failure arose in the defense of the Basques. Messi gathered several rivals around him in the central zone, and then gave the right to Desta in time. Serginho became the third American to score in La Liga.
Throughout the entire first half, the hosts had only one moment: when Isak taunted everyone and went into a position of non-obvious shock. However, Ter Stegen was not surprised. After the break, there wasn’t even that. The Basques did not do it, but Barcelona did everything as it should. The third goal of the team was scored by Dest himself after the active penetration of Jordi Alba. And only then did Messi score one by one. Sergio Busquets assisted him wonderfully.
Barça scored for the fifth time (Dembélé), but the goal was annulled for offside. It was only 66 minutes, and it seemed like trivia. After all, the match could have been shut down even then. “Real Sociedad” in recent games and “Barça” lost, but not too bad. Therefore, we can affirm that today there was a failure. Dembélé, by the way, held on to his own and scored the team’s fifth goal (and the first), according to the rules. The defenders played poorly against the French, for which they paid. Only after that, the Real Sociedad was born with an effective hit, Barrenechea scored marvelously, but hardly helped save face. In addition, Barça renewed the difference of five goals, thanks to a combination that was played in the best examples of Barça, which won six trophies in one season. It is symbolic that Messi completed. The era is not over yet.
“Barcelona” have regained their second place and after a hiatus, FIFA will be with renewed vigor to storm the top of the rankings. With such a game, with such a state of mind, nothing is impossible.
