One more day, the Barça He gave away practically the first part despite the extreme need to achieve the three points, resulting in a more than worrying data. There are already three games in a row without scoring before the break, five of the last six and nine of the 14 officials between League and Champions League. Single Eric Garcia made demand Antonio Sivera with a good header at the exit of a corner before Memphis Depay ends with less danger although about to end in goal you doubt the goal of the Alaves, powerless at the start of the second half to avoid the goal of the Dutch striker.
Unrecognizable in the last two months with the Barça After having put the ‘gent blaugrana’ in his pocket with a brilliant start, the lion roared again in the face of adversity. Three days after missing a penalty in Vallecas who just buried his compatriot Ronald Koeman and recommender of his signing and a week after a Classic in which it also left much to be desired, Memphis He stormed out of the locker room. Already as ‘9’ after retiring the Kun Agüero for a dizziness, Depay looked at goal, aimed and destroyed the squad of sivera with a thread with the right that ended his streak without marking a play since that distant August 29 against the Getafe. Finally he put his fingers to his ears with a celebration that was called to be a custom also in the stands but that has ended up being a dropper.
And half stayed Memphis to continue expanding his account, now five in LaLiga with two of them maximum penalty. The immediate replica of Luis Rioja After a great pass from Joselu against Barça’s laziness on his front, he again forced Barça to overcome the umpteenth emotional blow. As the only offensive reference before the lads Abde and Balde burst into the agonizing final stretch to open the field at once, Depay was able to restore calm to Barça but he did not succeed in his role as battering ram, the one who saw him Koeman when he requested his signing in the summer of 2020. Skillful in unchecking, which was lacking for Omen in the first half and only had once Alba to pass from Gavi before fear could not finish off head before the exit of sivera, Memphis He stroked the goal twice within a minute. Fortune eluded him to get out of the Camp Nou like hero and breathe to fly to Kiev to literally risk your life. Barça’s top scorer had to ally with two children to stand up to the babazorro goalkeeper. Another genius of the plunger Gavi He left him alone but his shot ended at the base of the post. And in the next outburst, enabled by Nico Gonzalez with another great action, he ran into the figure of sivera, replacement of the injured Pacheco, that last season he already choked on Barça on Mendizorroza (1-1). Had no more Memphis, who saw two more gold points fly before the blue albiazules. On Kiev there is no other than to premiere in the Champions so as not to write another dark chapter in this nightmare course.
