Chaos ends in a draw

Barcelona continues without being able to chain three wins in a row and against Valencia they stayed in a draw at two in a chaotic game that began with a flu and It ended up being a hilarious chaos in which either team could win the duel.

Among all the volcanic matches that take place in the world, the confrontations between Barcelona and Valencia occupy a prominent place in the history of unpredictable duels. They are parties that, like the institutions that dispute them, cannot be easily explained. When both teams come together, the best a spectator can do is load the bowl with popcorn. Besides, it doesn't matter that nobody plays well, Barça and Valencia manage to create content in abundance.

During the first half hour of the game, both teams played a distraction. When the first yawns appeared among viewers who were already tempted to go shopping, the storm of a final quarter of the first act was unleashed that would not be signed by Tarantino. From there, it was Russian roulette to the end.

From boredom to vertigo thanks first to the usual Barcelona empanada and then to VAR, which appeared to partially culminate the work in absolute chaos. We will try to explain it so that it is understood, that it will not be easy.

Barça did not kick a boat and played at three per hour. Flat and predictable. In those, Valencia, who came out scared and started to see that the German man from the Blaugrana goal is useful for something. Carlos Soler put him to the test with a distant shot and the consequent corner, Valencia scored the 0-1 with a header from Diakhaby absolutely alone. The Frenchman, faced with the space he found to maneuver in the absence of markers, hesitated between building a Mercadona in the Ter Stegen area or scoring the first goal of the game. He opted for the latter.

The duel became a fertile ground for Valencia, who started stealing balls and seemed to have the game in hand. But there was a new script twist left.

Ter Stegen saved the 0-2 after Maxi's shot, Again more alone than one, and in the Blaugrana counterattack Gayà touched Griezmann, who went to the ground. Penalty and red for the Valencian captain. Both seemed like too much punishment. After going to the VAR screen, the red was changed for the yellow and the penalty was maintained. Messi threw it, Jaume stopped him and in a new surprising twist of the last act, Alba picked up the rebound for Messi to score the goal that equaled Pelé with his head.

Faced with the impossibility of experiencing more things in less time, the teams went to the dressing room. It seemed difficult to get past the last quarter of an hour of the first half, but as soon as the second half started, Cheryshev missed a Guedes serve on goal. By then, Busquets was already in the stands and De Jong in the field.

But in case they didn't want broth, two cups. What was missing to see? Well, an attacking play by Barças in which Mingueza acted as assistant, neither Messi nor De Jong knew what to do with the ball and that Araújo appeared to score with a Chilean half that Zlatan Ibrahimovic had signed. And it was more than half an hour.

With the match without an owner, Valencia drew through Maxi Gómez thanks to an arrival from Gayà that Maxi Gómez finished off. From that goal on, the game was vibrant in both areas. No one was defending and both teams were going for the match. Even Coutinho created danger, but the thing did not pass from there and the chaos, hilarious, yes, ended in a draw.
