Xavi’s team beat Celta with a brace from Aubameyang and another goal from Memphis, putting their presence on track in the next Spanish Super Cup
Barça took another step forward to take second place. The team led by Xavi defeated Celta 3-1 in a match where they didn’t show their best version but showed signs of their massive punch. Aubameyang, on two occasions, and Memphis capped off a win that gives Sevilla seven points, waiting to see what Sevilla do against Mallorca this Wednesday.
faded. That’s how Barça came onto the pitch at Camp Nou. Xavi solved the puzzle created by the absence of Sergio Busquets due to an accumulation of warnings with a schedule change in which his team was lost from the start. Ferran Torres, Memphis, Dembélé and Aubameyang made an almost sixties forward, a tasty dish for a sleepless Camp Nou on weekdays, but at the same time they were an island with which it was almost impossible to connect. Barca lacked muscle in midfield with the new system and this has been blamed by a divided team, with problems stealing balls in the opposite field and little fluency in connecting with the attackers.
Celta took advantage of this scenario to place the team within a few yards, making Xavi’s approach even more difficult and terrifying with the speed of Aspas and Galhardo. The Argentine’s plan worked, but it was necessary to tie up the loose ends, it was necessary to tie up Dembélé. The Frenchman is quite a verse and he showed that in the first ball in which he had room to face. Leaving Galán and Cervi with a prodigious start, he lifted his head as he reached the area to assist a Memphis who, in a semi-miss, defeated Dituro to calm the waters of a Camp Nou that fell after half an hour. started to get impatient. hours with more doubts What certainties of your team.
Ter Stegen, Alves (Mingueza, min. 89), Eric García, Araujo (Lenglet, min. 68), Jordi Alba, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, Dembélé, Ferran Torres (Riqui Puig, min. 46), Memphis (Ansu Fati , min. 64) and Aubameyang (Luuk de Jong, min. 84).
Dituro, Kevin (Murillo, min. 46), Aidoo, Araujo, Galán, Fran Beltrán (Veiga, min. 90), Brais Méndez, Denis Suárez (Fontán, min. 90), Cervi (Solari, min. 97), Iago Aspas and Galhardo (Renato Tapia, min. 60).
The aim was to verify that the new eleven had holes, but there was no shortage of gunpowder and it would be demonstrated again before half time when Aubameyang caught a loose ball in the area to make the second. Two occasions and two goals.
After the restart, Xavi wanted to correct his team’s deficit in midfield by putting in Riqui Puig for Ferran Torres. The game, far from entering the control phase, began the second half turned into a street runner. The first to hit was Barça via an Aubameyang who took advantage of yet another overflow from Dembélé, while the second would be a Celta who wouldn’t let his arms drop and whose success would penalize a mistake in the culé defense from Jago Aspas.
It was the best moment for a Celta who would go out with the expulsion of Murillo after taking down Memphis when he headed Dituro’s goal and that would cool off permanently after Ronald Araujo’s injury. The Uruguayan central defender had to be shocked by ambulance after a collision with Gavi. The Uruguayan’s injury was the epilogue of a match that ended without further shock for Xavi’s men, who already see the second place goal closer and closer.
