Two other individual mistakes forced a return

Easy wins are out of fashion. Successes are hard, you have to chew on them a lot. He is new Valencia is no less and the team Xavi Hernandezwho faced his first game since agreeing to continue leading the team next season, had to return against Rubén Baraja’s team, who advanced after Fermín’s first goal was restored.

The young player always appears in important moments and every time he wins the next one. The El Campillo midfielder scored again with a header and was Barça’s best afterwards Lewandowskiwho took the ball home with his second hat-trick as a culé.

However, the unforced errors that the team continues to experience are not normal. Valencia’s two goals were preceded by two glaring defensive errors. The first of Marc ter Stegenwho yesterday became the second foreigner with the most matches in the history of Barça (408). The German goalkeeper tried a hat in the presence of Hugo Duro. Surreal.

Ter Stegen he made a mistake because of the general surprise. An error that did not deserve its category and the rival striker took the ball with his chest to finish scoring at will. “You have to play with a little more seriousness,” he says. decoration in the half-time statements, when Barça were already down 1-2 due to another individual error, in this case Ronald Araujo.

again Peter Federico, a young Real Madrid player who was the star, put the culé defense in trouble. He won from behind and came before the Uruguayan. Araujo, too late, misses the ball and the Ché player gets ahead of him. Pepelu He is in charge of changing the maximum penalty.

Another individual error that seemed to put the game up, but Mamardashvili He also failed with the Valencian side. The Georgian goalkeeper handled the ball with his hand outside the area to prevent Lamine from going alone towards the goal. And he was expelled.

Direct red that VAR had to give him a warning because it wasn’t either From Burgos Bengoetxea -the referee that Xavi likes the most and called Barça for the first time this season- or his assistant Núñez Fernández, both annulled a legal goal scored by Messi on the last day of the 2013-2014 season against Atlético.

Improved the Barça with another man, as expected. And the team trapped Valencia in their field. The Che team lasted as long as possible until a destructive version of Lewy arrived.

Despite the Pole’s hat-trick, Xavi Hernandez He had to bring out all the artillery. J.oh Felix, Pedri (to be decided with a view to defending), Ferran Torres… Araujo saw more minutes than Alexanko played. In fact, the 3-2 of Lewandowski It came after a header from the Uruguayan, again from a corner, again thanks to Sergio Alegre’s scoreboard.

The victory puts Barça back in second and will depend on itself to secure a place in the next Spanish Super Cup. For Champions It is already classified in mathematics. There is only the consolation of being second in front of Girona, the rival next Saturday. A victory at Montilivi would all but seal a goal that Barcelona should aim for at least out of pride and dignity.
