The 5 keys to matchday 28 of LaLiga Santander

The five keys of the twenty-eighth day of LaLiga Santander were:

1 – A penalty unleashes the gale

mismeasured Nacho Vidal and in his fall he knocked down Gavi when he was going to shoot inside the Osasuna area. The penalty at 13 minutes, the time the game lasted for the Navarrese in the Camp Nou, gave way to a Barca gale. Except for some isolated ‘accident’, perhaps the result of an excess of confidence, such as the Galatasaray on the Europa Leaguethe hobby of Barcelona he gets used to quality football and goals again.

Winter reinforcements are key to improvement: the first double of Ferran Torresthe scoring contribution of Aubameyang, the recovery of Dembele who is already top assistant in such an atypical season. In this positive dynamic, even Xavi allows himself to recover for the cause Riqui Puig that he had not scored since January 24, 2021. Four consecutive wins with fourteen goals in the last four days. Barça flies towards a Champions League place.

2. Lopetegui’s complaint

free way for the Real Madrid start discounting games to be League champion mathematically. The Sevilla He is no longer in a fight for the title due to his poor dynamics away from his stadium. He signed his fifth consecutive tie as a visitor, in Vallecas, in which one day it was the home of Julen Lopetegui as a player and coach, and is now the center of criticism for the state of the pitch.

It was not the only complaint of the Basque coach, annoyed by a disallowed goal to Rafa Mir by previous hand and a penalty corrected later from the WHERE. “You have to correct the white and the black, but not the gray,” he assured, without understanding the instructions for the start of the season transferred from the arbitration establishment and pointing to the performance of the Valencian referee Juan Martinez Munuera as “decisive”, against their interests. Twelve points out of the last 24 at stake make Sevilla go from looking at the leader to feeling the threat of Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid in second place.

3. From boredom to the Champions League

As true as the Atletico Madrid finds the desired results with his fourth victory in a row, is that he has gotten used to walking off the cliff. Feeling the risk of seeing how a place in the next edition of the Champions League can escape, while in the subconscious he had his European options in the duel against Cádiz in an open tie against Manchester United.

To overcome it, demand your best version in Old Trafford. The opposite to the one shown before the Cadiz team, dominated in the Wanda Metropolitanosaved from an initial goalkeeper error Jeremiah Ledesma and by a power start from Rodrigo de Paul. With joao felix Assuming the scoring responsibility that was demanded of him, Diego Simeone needs more players like Antoine Griezmann or Yannick Carrasco if he wants to straighten out an irregular season at a decisive moment.

4. Parejo’s kiss

It is not the first time that it happens to him and he knows the long road that awaits him until he can enjoy himself on the pitch again. Tears from a week ago Alberto Moreno they sank the hearts of the entire football world. Hours after being operated on for the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee by the doctor Ramón Cugatreceived the first impulse seeing his teammates dedicate a long-suffering and important victory to him.

Villarreal beat Celta de Vigo at La Cerámica with a goal from Daniel Parejo, thanks to the mistake of placing Dituro’s body, and the celebration was special. He picked up a jersey with his number and shirt number. Alberto Morenokissed her and showed the feeling of an entire team united.

5. The descent begins to be a matter of five

In the absence of seeing the answer of a Mallorca in crisis of results before the leader, the brilliance of Pere Milla inventing Fidel’s goal to give peace to the Elche in a direct duel against Granadawhich did not find the reaction after the dismissal of Robert Moreno, and the tie added by Getafe against Valencia, seem to reduce the agonizing fight for permanence to five teams.

The great image of Cádiz was left without a well-deserved award at the Metropolitano, the thirteen shots of the Alaves they did not find a way to overcome a very successful Remiro who gave the impetus for victory to the Real societyand bottom side Levante found in the injury of Diego Lopezwith the cold entry of John Garcia and a mistake overlooked in a bad start, the opportunity to save a point that he knew little. Just four points separate four teams that will suffer until the last chapter of LaLiga.
