Barcelona 0-6… and Lewandowski is gone!

In more than impressive performance, Barcelona started the North American tour passing through Inter Miami with a colorful game, very effective and above all promising. The Barcelona team put on a show, scored goals and offered details for hope, by showing more integrity against a technically weaker rival, where Beckham’s son played five minutes and a half of the coach’s son, but physically which is more shots. Aubameyang, Raphinha and Ansu they finished the first part with two great goals and those who entered the second did not want to be less: Gavi, Memphis and Dembélé rounded off the ‘set’ in favor of Barça. A ‘show’ for most of the public in Barcelona, ​​although they have a passion for Inter and Barcelona.

Courage, speed of movement, scoring chances…. It was Barcelona far superior to its rivall, offered great vibes and saw how the three strikers scored a goal each, suggesting that Xavi may have the gunpowder he wants. Great debuts for Raphinha, with a goal and two assists, and Christensen, solid in the center of defense alongside Eric.

With a different eleven in each season, at first Kessie and Pedri are the interiors. They play very high. From a bird’s eye view, the team formation is almost Van Gaal’s 2-3-2-3, where the central midfielder is at the height of the full-backs and the interiors are very advanced. Gavi and Pablo Torre are in second place. Wingers play winger and, at that stage, the one who felt like a fish out of water was Raphinha, who had a brilliant debut.

Against an Inter Miami that came out very defensive to protect itself from Barcelona’s technical prowess, Barcelona came out monopolizing the ball. And stayed that way almost always, Kessié, very active in his arrival and also combative with the press, the star of the first two clear opportunities for the Barça team: two shots that they denied the goalkeeper Marsman was the first (he was the best in his team despite conceding four of the six goals) and the defense was the second.

shy, Inter Miami tried to continue the counterattack when Barcelpoa took a breather. The North American team warned with a shot by Ulloa, who crossed too many shots that Ter Stegen did not reach. Despite several counterattacks, Barcelona maintained their almost complete dominance.

Three goals before the break

A diagonal from the right by one of the debutants, Raphinha, finished off an assist for Aubameyang, who subtly slotted past the goalkeeper, minutes after having his first chance. Ansu Fati tried it from a direct free kick and Raphinha ended his excellent Barcelona debut by finishing, first, a Balde cross from the left after a combination with Ansu, who completed the first half appearance after a game with the first touch, initiated by Nico , with help again from Raphinha.

Despite typical carousel of changes at the break, Barcelona were unaffected. On the contrary, the freshness of the entrants means that the level is maintained. Perhaps it lacked the sparkle of the first half, but Barcelona continued to add goals, against an increasingly focused Inter Miami as the minutes ticked by. so memphis took advantage of a corner kickto assist Gavi with the fourth goal. Serve at auction, direct, pim pam.

Removed Memphis the bad taste in the mouth of a bad shot with a good goal: he received a pass from Alba, sat down his rival with a roulette wheel and finished the goal. With Inter Miami losing, Dembélé stepped in a minute later, came in from the right and scored. Perhaps important details: Frenkie de Jong played central defender (Nico was the starting midfielder and Busquets in the second half) and Sergi Roberto started as a winger but ended up in midfield.
