Barcelona is struggling physically and mentally.
Today, Barcelona decided to make their fans happy in the truest sense of the word!
Today, Barcelona was lost in the truest sense of the word.
The team was suffering physically and mentally in an unusual way.
Newcastle played a great game today, pressing Barcelona man-to-man and forcing Juan Garcia to play long balls to Lewandowski, who was very easy for the Newcastle defenders to tackle and beat to the ball because he is physically exhausted!
In the middle of Newcastle leading by a goal and about to win, Olmo came out of nowhere and made an impressive move, winning a penalty with great intelligence in the 95th minute so that Yamal could score the equalizer in the last second of the game and Barcelona would not lose.
It was a shock for Newcastle!
Lewandowski is physically exhausted, Rafeina is physically exhausted, Pedri is unusually tired, even Bernal is injured, Kounde and Balde are injured, Araujo is playing right back, they’re all youngsters, and yet Barcelona came away with a draw from a very difficult stadium and revived their qualification for the quarter-finals.
The shot you see here is one of the most absurd shots you could ever see in soccer!
In the 85th minute of today’s Champions League match between Barcelona and Newcastle, Rashford made a cross, but Araujo missed it and slid off the pitch, crawling under the net until he reached the sideline to waste time.
The referee saw Araujo and told him to leave the pitch to get treatment so as not to stop play!
He went back on after Newcastle started their attack, so the result was that Rafeena returned to right back and Casado returned to defense to fill Araujo’s spot!
Araujo didn’t know what to do in this situation, so he stood and watched as Newcastle created a 3-on-3 situation in the penalty area and Barnes escaped from Rafeena and scored Newcastle’s goal!
Chaos as it should be!
The scene in front of you is one of the most beautiful decisions made today in the match between Barcelona and Newcastle!
In the 88th minute, Hans Flick decided to bring on the young right-back in front of you, 18-year-old Chavi Espart!
This young man had never played with Barcelona’s first team before, meaning this was his first match, and it was in the Champions League, at a daunting stadium like St.
James’ Park, and at a very sensitive time because Barcelona was losing, meaning he came on under very difficult circumstances!
What was impressive was that in the 91st minute, he saved a certain goal for Newcastle in the play you see here.
He was in Barcelona’s penalty area and the ball reached the Newcastle player in this position, who was about to shoot, but Xavi Espart made a lightning-fast sliding tackle and cleared the ball, leaving the Newcastle player kicking thin air!
Without this play, Barcelona would not have been able to come back and tie the game, which is why Hans Flick said after the game that Xavi Espart was brilliant in the midst of adversity.
The gems of La Masia never cease to shine.
After today’s La Liga match between Barcelona and Bilbao, Pedri made a statement proving that he is first and foremost a footballer!
The journalist asked Pedri about the assist he made to Yamal today in the winning goal, and Pedri replied that if it weren’t for Ferran López, the goal would not have been scored in the first place!
Pedri pointed out Fermin’s very influential role in the goal, even though Fermin didn’t actually touch the ball.
Fermin moved from deep and pulled the Bilbao defender with him to isolate Yamal on the wing and give him time and space on the ball after receiving it.
Imagine Pedri pointing out this detail and saying that it was the reason for the goal after all the hard work they put in!
The nice thing was Hans Flick’s statement after the match, in which he said that Pedri is always capable of changing the whole game because he makes the team play as one and in the best way possible!
