Spanish Super Cup: The Atlantic tombs Bara and turns Yeda into Anfield

The azulgrana, despite the display of Messi, show their most grotesque side in defense and allow an incredible red and white comeback. Simeone will play the final against Madrid

This Spanish Super Cup is an anomaly typical of our times. Industry – that is, money – exposes its own dictatorship to get ahead of everything that remained of the old football. Now, a simple show, even crazy as in the night bush, but exportable. Without any fear of twisting the format or even exhibiting before an absolute monarchy like that of Saudi Arabia. Human rights on the one hand, sports, or whatever, on the other. As much as there are women who these days have suggested some progress in the darkness. Messi did his part, that's why he is the best player in the world. But not even a portentous exhibition of the Argentine bast so that Barcelona ended up shaken and ridiculed by an Atletico who could have seen a 4-1 against -the referee annulled goals to Messi and Piqu- to force a Madrid derby in the Super Cup thanks to the 2-3 agnico of Correa. Incomprehensible and inexplicable quiz. The organizers ran out of class.

There was only a sigh in which the Atletico believed himself worthy of the game. Those 18 seconds with which the second half began and in which Koke, substitute for Herrera and associated with Joao Flix and Correa, take advantage of the poor moment of Umtiti to reach the heart of the area and take advantage. So, Messi, which already comes from a plectrum opening ceremony, said enough. In less than six minutes, the Argentine was already celebrating the tie like crazy. Arturo Vidal had focused, omnipresent, so that Surez would attend to the fierce irruption of his good friend. Messi was the smartest. Also the strongest, given the disbelief of two rojiblancos defenders. Crow the episode with a right hand, because his bad leg is better than the best legs on the planet.

The VAR, active to despair, prevented the Argentine from chaining everything with the second goal. Another wonder I understood the referee, Gonzlez Gonzlez, after attending the monitor that Messi had controlled the ball with his hand. He had nothing to say technology, that is, Martnez Munuera, in 2-1. To another huge stop of Oblak Surez offered celestial continuity Griezmann, attentive to a span of the goal line.

But the madness had only just begun. More seeing the obvious cracks that Umtiti was offering again and again. Barcelona began to despair because there was no way to close a match that should be theirs. An offside of Arturo vidal, hunted by millimeters, allowed the VAR to recommend to the referee to cancel another goal, this time to Piqu.

The lash whip

And Simeone, who is a coach who knows how to smell the blood right where it sprouts, sent his people to the attack without thinking about risks or side effects. And I came out of phbula because the steppe that opened behind Busquets, with Neto as poor lone ranger, it was totally unbearable. I didn't even pay the Koke's lesin, which could barely stand on the field.

Umtiti looked at how Vitolo He ran after a loss of Busquets. Neto had no choice but to knock him down, and allowed Morata sign the tie from eleven meters. And Barcelona, ​​far from recovering and again offering merits to take the game, showed its most grotesque face.

A Morata center hit the Piqu hand, but the referee chose to pay attention to the VAR so as not to point out a penalty that seemed clear. He was not going to give up the Atletico however, disheveled and without remedy and with Barcelona it was feared that the worst was yet to come. Because Rakitic was not fine. Why Piqu I measured badly. Why Umtiti It showed that it is a joke in bad taste compared to the defense that, with the stable knee, won the World Cup. And because to Net nothing could be reproached in the sun's duel, this time in front of a strap that blew Simeone into the band.

At King Abdullah Stadium, where Ernesto Valverde It was the public enemy number one of the local fans, nobody gave credit to what had happened in the second part after the overwhelming Barça dominance in the first. Perhaps here you have also understood that Messi is not enough. That for Barcelona, ​​any place can be Anfield. Even Jeddah.
