Barça’s 1×1 against Valencia

It is becoming a habit: first shot, goal. Being a whiplash from Gayá, unstoppable, unstoppable it didn’t seem like it either. Then, the stick did him a favor before taking a great hand from Guedes’ shot, the best of his night along with his good ball output.

A thunderbolt with the United States that Koeman wanted to take advantage of much closer to the rival area. Some of the electrical charge left on the trip, but not all: there was his stubbornness in the action of 3.-1, which he gave to Coutinho.

The speed of Guedes and Soler and the rudeness of Maxi made him have a bad time, but the guy endured with trade. He avoided the 2-2 with a coverage in which he exhibited cold blood.

His marking Mbappé, a rare goal aside, gave him back prestige and it would seem that he had tons of confidence. Only one carrerón of Carlos Soler made him suffer.

Especially in the first half, he gave a lot of depth down the left lane: he put in a low center worthy of a goal that Gayá conjured and put the ball into the area that ended in a penalty.

First appearance with Barça after being chosen MVP of the Nations League. Changing his habitat, from a very short team to a much longer one, forced him to overexert himself, which despite everything he was successful. But it is difficult to hide it: with ‘la roja’, enjoy; with Barça, he suffers.

It was more. In the first half he started much more than he finished, but curiously his figure emerged the worse Barça went through.

He is still a player for coaches rather than for the public. Surely it is because of its ease of being relocated, this time from the side. He complied until he was relieved.

The employee of the month. It came to stay. He intervened in the 1-1 action and saw a yellow that showed his defensive involvement. So much is offered that in the end Koeman always has to give him rest.

He was already ‘on fire’ from his time at the ‘oranje’ team. He was Ansu’s essential collaborator at 1-1 and scored his goal with that penalty-howitzer on foot. In the second part he lacked bellows.

Barça’s comeback cannot be explained without him. Appearing against the current defines the cracks and this 18-year-old boy has the wood and character to be it. He made his debut in the eleven for the first time since his injury and he justified it in a big way. A great goal was invented out of nowhere and forced the action in extremis that, controversial aside, ended in a penalty for Gayá. Koeman excused him from the final half hour. It is too valuable.

A cry of liberation accompanied his first goal almost eleven months later. He was surprisingly alone at the auction, but he had already left promising details before. That green sprout will have to be verified.

It was not him, but the message that Koeman gave when entering.

With his entry, Barça wanted to reinforce the marker’s security cordon.

The Argentine had his first minutes on the court at the Camp Nou. He even had a shotgun chance.
