10 is out of 10
BARÇA, 1 – MADRID, 0
M. 42
Xabi Alonso asked for calm from the technical area, as if he wanted to convey to his team that better moments will come, that the game can mature in their favor. But if Madrid does not advance the ranks it will be complicated, only relying on the counters and the speed of Vinicius. The problem is that if they overtake them, Barça also knows how to play on the counter and look for rival backs… As Raphinha has already explained.
And Lamine, who continues to ask for the ball, breaks down Madrid at every opportunity. Now he gives a pass to Fermín that only Courtois can avoid with another save. Something he repeats later after another Lamine slalom. The 10 is out of 10.
Wouldn’t it be good if Madrid decided to bet on having more ball inside? Perhaps the figure of Güler would give him pause and a foot to make that definitive pass that the team lacks, also confidence to stand a few meters higher.
