Almost three years after his removal from a Barcelona then leader of LaLiga, Ernesto Valverde appeared again for Camp Nou with stands raising the memory of Txingurri now that Xavi is trying to recover from his instability in Europe and the horror of the Clásico. And what seemed like a test before the coach of a powerful Athletic team away from home turned into a pleasant walk that was resolved in ten minutes of the first half. The culé coach left to applaud, while the rojiblanco returned to Bilbao without that claim, which was not revenge, that probably crossed his mind. The two hugged before and after.
The story of this new victory at home with a clean sheet, before another impressive attendance with 84,817 spectators, is a carbon copy of the game against Villarreal, how it happened and how it all happened. If the ‘yellow submarine’ is new, at Barcelona It was enough for him from minutes 31 to 38 to score an unfavorable 3-0, Barça eliminated Athletic in ten, in those from 12 to 22, with a Dembele unbound and a Lewandowski who returned to celebrate a new goal in the delirium of a devoted culé fan.
The Polish striker has been another nightmare for Valverde and produced another breakthrough to add to his massive landing at the Camp Nou. This time, he photocopied the impressive first goal he scored against first Emery. Help inside the area, cut with an important technical gesture on the half turn to accommodate the ball and penetrate Unai Simón’s goal with a hard shot.
Last day, Lewandowski became the first League debutant with 10 or more goals in the first 10 games since Ronaldo in 1996, just days after Europe awarded him the Trophy Gerd Müller. Y’Lewy‘ proved again that he is a ‘killer’. With 12 goals, he is more than the top scorer in the league and leads with five Borja Iglesias (Betis) and Joselu (Espanyol), who did not score on the day, and even left Benzema out of the match against Sevilla.
Count the five you have on Champions League, ‘Lewy’ has already scored 17 goals in just two months as a Barça player. He couldn’t open the can like before Valladolid, Elche, Mallorca and Villarreal but it became very necessary again. And it is that he saw the door in eight of the 11 days played, a record that exceeded the best start of Messi, although not reaching the inexhaustible productivity of the Argentine crack, who in some cases released the contest with three and four goals. Little is known about Íñigo Martínez.
The Barça-Athletic I prepared for a duel Ansu-Nico but in between Dembelewho celebrated a headed goal and provided three assists, and Lewandowski They got the biggest applause of the night. In everything resolved and no hint of reaction from Athleticwhich since 2001 has not been able to win at the Estadi, Xavi decided to remove him from the farm in time to rest. This Wednesday, the Bayern is shown in Camp Nou to try to make life bitter for the azulgrana. He did not score on his return to the Allianz Arena and now he is waiting for his moment to remove the thorn.
