Real Madrid, Atlético de Madrid, Sevilla … Barça lost two of these three teams and drew one against one. From the group of leaders he managed to defeat only Villarreal, but this is not enough for the fight for the championship. Today, therefore, has been the moment of truth. The “Real Sociedad” was nine points ahead of “Barça” and, if they won, the Catalans would have gotten into a dead end. In fact, it would be a surrender in the fight for the crown.
And so the chances remain … “Barcelona” actively started the game and deservedly went to rest with an advantage. Although the first was lost. Messi, Griezmann, Brightwhite, Alba, Pedri attacked and traditionally for “Barça” they shot a lot on goal, and the rival made almost the first “exit” to the goal of others. Porto on the right flank opened for the pass and sent the ball more parallel to the goal line. Willian José was already on guard there – 0: 1.
It was here that fans of the “granado” and remembered the unrealized moments of Pedri and Griezmann. But Barça quickly reassured the dismayed fans: the attack, in which Messi, Pedro and Griezmann participated, was completed by Jordi Alba. A strong blow after the rebound left no chance for Remiro.
The goal did not reassure the Catalans. It seemed that, on the contrary, it started even stronger. Griezmann hit the crossbar, Brightwhite shot higher from the one-on-one position, and Januzaj’s moment in the context of such an assault went unnoticed in the opposite half of the field. Today, Barça have had much fewer start-up problems than in recent fights. The second goal was scored by De Jong after a cross from Alba. The VAR cleared up doubts about the offside position.
The second part was remembered mainly for the incredible lack of Griezmann. It was as if Antoine had a curse when he couldn’t close Alba’s cross to the empty net from one meter. And we thought only Supryaga could do this. A little earlier, Messi did not realize his opportunity, but this attack was not so evident.
The game was no longer as strong as before the break. The Royal Society created almost nothing. Even Isak’s attempt to get ahead of Ter Stegen cannot be considered a real scoring opportunity. And Merino’s shot did not surprise the German goalkeeper.
However, this moment was important for the Basques as a sign. The “Real Sociedad” felt that the path to the goal of “Barça” is not blocked, and the displayed marker is not a desperate marker. The guests organized an assault, the culmination of which was a double moment named after Willian José (mid-range shot) and Isak (finishing). Ter Stegen became the hero of Barça. These three points, including their merit.
The leader is defeated. A strategically important victory for Barcelona. A result that gives hope for a better future.
