With Quique Setin, the Rondo regained prominence at the Camp Nou. Even if it was only for the substitutes to also exercise on the grass while the starting team carried out a very marked warm-up in which the combination was also given great importance. It was inevitable that a confessed cruiser as he did not give him a place in his premiere in the fief of Barcelona to the exercise that most characterized the Dutch technician in his stage as Barca coach. In the participant even the substitute goalkeeper, Neto, who usually collaborated in the set-up prior to Ter Stegen's match.

Those who seemed to enjoy the rondo more were precisely two players with a lot of football in their boots: Arthur and Riqui Puig. Although there was much talk during the week about the possible ownership of the second, of the firm commitment to La Masia that goes through Setin's plans and his taste for the play of touch, both of them had to initially see the bulls from the barrier, although they will have minutes in the second part. Clment Lenglet, a regular companion of Gerard Piqu in the center of the rear, does not feel completely uncomfortable, however much Umtiti took his place at eleven.

The new technician of Bara followed for many minutes the game of his team standing, within his technical area, holding on to the guy in front of a strong wind that caused multiple inconveniences. And not only for soccer players. The advertising canvases that are located on both sides of the porters were greatly affected. So much so that one of them even got several meters into the field. Perhaps, the schedule and the inclement weather had a lot to do with the fact that the first game of Quique Setin on the Barca bench 65,444 spectators attended, far from the more than 98,000 that can host the Barcelona stadium.

1,002 good passes

The minute of silence that all of them kept in memory of Maria Rosa Carnicer, Sergi Roberto's mother was one of the most respected remembered at the Camp Nou. The shouts of encouragement towards the player multiplied as soon as they came to an end. One of the most applauded, however, will be an Antoine Griezmann who practically went from one end of the field to the other to collaborate in defensive tasks and who, in the end, managed to recover the ball.

The Frenchman, with the prolonged loss of Luis Surez, will now have to assume a lot of weight in the offensive tasks of a Bara who has a hard time opening the scoring against Granada. The best game. The Barca environment recognized him through social networks during the game. The first win of the team that now runs Quique Setin, however, will have to wait a little longer.

The triumph of Bara had another protagonist, possession, 82%. As in the times of Guardiola, although the overwhelming domain -1.002 successful passes- only translated into a goal, the same as always, that of Messi in the second half, already with 10 Granada.
