Pedri Potter

–

Barça plays the game and Madrid shocks hoping to operate its Brazilians. Long hope in vana since the blancos closed the first part without a shot, in the mirror or not. Yet another gray departure of Ancelotti’s men, disorganized and with little desire to run. The best example comes in the goal of Barça (28 ‘). Bellingham loses the ball and remains there to complain, Lamine Yamal sinks in Fran García’s butter (entered for Mendy broken after 8 ‘) he raises his head and sees Pedri arrives only sole in the central lane: precise assist as the right of the magician of the Canaries for the net that opens the Clásico. Non -existent Madrid, and when he appeared he was stopped by the gauge flag, who got up to cancel a goal by Bellingham (35 ‘) and cancel a penalty of Iñigo Martinez on Vinicius (47’). We are at 34 goals canceled for offsides to Barça’s opponents this season.

Transformed

–

In the middle of the first half he began to warm up the theoretically crossed Mbappé, who entered after the interval for Rodrygo, not received. Ancelotti’s words have a miraculous effect, it is another Madrid. Immediately 4 parades of Szczesny, three on Vinicius and one on Mbappé. Inside Arda Guler and Modric for Lucas Vazquez and Ceballos with Valverde moved to the right back. Madrid resurrected like his fans, who so far annihilates. And in a few minutes here is the ribaltone: at 70 ‘the well -deserved draw on a magnificent direct punishment football by Mbappé whistled for a foul by De Jong on the Frenchman launched on the net. The Madridists ask for red for the last man foul, De Burgos Bengoetxea chooses yellow. Barça suddenly shy, with the Blancos who in 77 ‘completed the comeback with an imperious head of Tchouameni on the corner of Arda Guler.

Even and controversy

–

Barça seems dead but Lamine Yamal has other ideas and with the brazenness of his 17 years, a millimeter assist for Ferran Torres, who controls perfectly, jumping Rudiger and Courtois to be released to lay the ball in the empty door. In the very long recovery everything happens: De Burgos Bengoetxea does not see a rigor of rudiger on Ferran Torres (and the Var does not call him, inexplicably) and whistles one of Asencio on Raphinha before going to the Var and warning the Brazilian for simulation with the Barça fans who intone choirs against Florentino Perez and the final that goes to extra. Two other decisive flags: a goal in Ferran Torres canceled and deleted a penalty on Mbappé. Then the hero’s goal, Koundé, in 116 ‘, with Madrid who loses the game and head: Rudiger from the bench launches an object against the referee, and is expelled like Lucas Vazquez, also out of the field.
