1-4: La Real goes down with the whole team

If an early hit is more convenient than receiving it when there is nothing to do, Real will be able to live with the fall in time with the whole team. The txuri urdin bravery lasted 65 minutes. Until Barcelona passed the sentence, with the quality and the predatory instinct of a superstar like Robert Lewandowski. Real’s last gasp was the goal that the referee disallowed Brais due to Le Normand’s positional offside. An action that opened up a realistic morality.

The innovative show of light and sound that illuminates and sets Anoeta infects everyone. Including the main cast actors. Real and Barcelona went for the kill. The result was that in the first five minutes of the game they scored a goal every whisker.

La Real have barely gone 45 seconds without scoring at Anoeta this season. Quite a surprise, given the defensive reliability of the previous League. Confrontation is a frantic affair with no time to waste even remembering yesterday. Because as soon as Real appeared in the area of ​​Barcelona, ​​in the first play of the night, it was Lewandowski and he shot on the counter. Pedri and Balde printed the attack with the speed of a missile and the Pole finished mercilessly.

Real’s reaction was just as swift. Between Kubo and Silva they nullified De Jong and a deep ball from Gran Canaria was a gift for Isak, who beat Ter Stegen with Eric’s assist. Anoeta entered the same delirium as if it were a dizzying conflict, unstoppable in terms of rhythm.

The quality stored in the boots of Zubimendi, Merino or Silva is paired with the defensive rigor of Zubeldia and Le Normand, the pair of central defenders who aim to be really rocky in this League. Aihen, the only new face in the lineup, was able to figure out Dembélé’s speed. The problem for Real is that high school football revolves around Barcelona’s roots. Pedri fought for Xavi’s men. In a moment of great stress for Imanol’s squad, Ferran grabbed the post between the first swords.

Ter Stegen, miracle

Real is convinced, because two signings like Brais and Kubo have cultivated a kind of family tree of good football in the creation zone. The forces are evenly matched, although there is always the concern that a Barcelona has formed with De Jong, the aforementioned Pedri and a Lewandowski in full power.

If Real did not enter the break with an advantage, it was because Ter Stegen performed another miracle against Txuri Urdin. First dropped a powerful left-footed shot from Merino inside the area, whose deflection was wasted by Kubo. The confident German goalkeeper showed himself, with a great save, in the 43rd minute, against a tight silk kick invented by David Silva, a master. Ter Stegen’s skill with the gloves interfered with the islander’s score.

Two goals were sung

Changing behavior is a continuous line of emotions. With some controversy, since Munuera Montero disallowed Real’s second goal. Advised by VAR, the referee interpreted that Le Normand had interfered with Ter Stegen in the lateral foul marked by Brais Méndez. The Breton central defender was positionally offside when he went for the shot, influencing the goalkeeper in action, an important nuance to nullify the two-one. Anoeta protested. Immediately after, Barcelona had a pretty sung available, but from another semantic family. This time, it’s a bunch of nonsense.

Starting with Aritz’s resounding mistake, when he delivered a throw-in to Gavi in ​​the Real area. Zubeldia saved the tools with a massive intervention, like the Azkoitiarra action on the general lines. After the give and take, Merino entered the area and was claimed by Ter Stegen as Barcelona’s hero.

double chop

Real looked uncomfortable as the game went beyond playing time. This was when Barcelona destroyed Imanol’s men. A work of art by Ansu Fati, assistant in heels, opens the crack. Dembélé, unmarked because Aritz lost his position, referred against Remiro. When it comes to delivering an ax blow, gunners, like Lewandowski, show up. Barcelona’s third took the signature of a striker who didn’t need to move even half a revolution to score two goals and decide.

Real completely weakened, physically and mentally, did not prevent Barcelona from doing more damage with the fourth goal. Ansu Fati took advantage of a maneuver by Lewandoski to turn a staging that promised for Real into a landslide, but it ended in an unsatisfying night.
