Mircea Lucescu said that his final in this group of the Champions League is not today. Sergei Rebrov said the same, pointing out that the next match would be decisive. However, even earlier, the Ukrainian coach promised that his “Ferencvaros” would fight selflessly in every fight. And so far, Rebrov’s words have come true. Even after losing to Barça 1: 5 at the Camp Nou, the Hungarians broke down and made Kuman nervous. And, in general, they saved face.
But today there was no fight. Of course, the Ferencváros players struggled, but visually the beating Barça gave the Hungarians seemed like a walk for the Spanish team. 1: 9 in shots on target, 0: 4 – in shots on target, 0: 3 – in goals, 37 to 63 – in percentage of ball possession. In the first half, “Barça” even managed to win more martial arts, horse dancing, and also play much better for the national team. “Ferencvaros” was too soft, and this is a sentence against such an opponent.
The goal was in the making as soon as the opening whistle sounded at the Budapest stadium. The first moment of the Catalans lost Brightwhite, the second was tied offside (Alba was in a position of shock). But the third party has already paid dividends. Dembélé and Alba on the right wing played with several passes, Alba had the opportunity to shoot and did it perfectly. Griezmann had enough soft touch to the ball from the most comfortable position, and 1: 0.
“Ferencvaros” played everything that was possible. The “Barça”, in turn, took advantage of the opportunities very rationally. The second goal was scored from the third shot on goal – after Dembélé’s lumbago, the melee was won by Martin Brightwhite.
And eight minutes later the Danish thanked the French for this transfer. Before Frimpong’s speed, Brightwhite was brought down by a Frady defender. Dembélé clearly executed the penalty – 3: 0.
We won’t even remember the hits from Pjanic, Griezmann, Trinkao and Brightwaite himself – and without that the “Ferencvaros” fans are suffering. Seeger’s kick and Nguyen’s attempt were countered by an offside position: they are crumbs that cannot be applied to the wound.
In the second half it was easier, at least in the first half, when “Barça” frankly slowed down and did not mind playing a little without the ball. And he even defended himself with pleasure. Although this cannot be called a full-fledged defense, because the ball practically did not reach Neto. Laiduni shot at the door and then … Baturin. This was Frady’s most moving moment.
Igor Kharatin revived the game, coming in as a substitute in the 81st minute. Nguyen, Seger, Isael, Mac all entered the statistics as the perpetrators of the blows, but this was already when the opponent’s grip was weakening.
And Barça, frankly, had to score more than three. After resting 15-20 minutes after the break, the culés returned to aim at the goal. Dembélé fired from outside at the net from an acute angle, then the Frenchman made another mistake and hit the target again, but without passing the goalkeeper. Miraculously, Trincao did not score after the transfer of the indefatigable Dembélé. Although without him, “Ferencvaros” approaches the match with “Dynamo” with the worst difference in goals conceded.
This means that in Kiev the Hungarians will be satisfied with any win or draw, starting with a score of 3: 3 and more. It’s hard to predict anything …
