Barça recovered the best feelings and transmitted them to the Camp Nou stands, which they were able to enjoy, once again, with their team. Good start to the game with dynamism, mobility up front and a good rhythm in the movement of the ball. The result of this came a goal from Christensen in an already habitual play: Raphinha’s center that was once again the protagonist because he was also the author of the third goal.
On other occasions, Barça got stuck in three quarters of the field. Last night it was not like that with Busquets very successful playing one touch; a very participative De Jong; the presence of Pedri and the departures of Balde in driving. A very versatile midfield in a Barça team that, despite the fact that Betis started strong, remained very firm at the back and did not concede dangerous chances: Ter Stegen did not have to intervene and The second goal came, the work of Lewandowski, who is in a streak again... And with assistance from Koundé!
No downturn And that clarity that we asked the team in the last pass was fully, as in the assistance of Busquets to Raphinha in his goal; the VAR had to analyze it thoroughly before granting it. The expulsion of Edgar also conditioned Betis a lot, although the score was already 1-0.
The most normal thing is that the intensity and tension of the game would have decreased in the second half, but Barça did not do so, they did not let go and sought more and more with absolute control, and Betis continued without disturbing the goal of Ter Stegen. It’s all positive news: Dembélé’s return, Christensen too and with a goal, Raphinha played a good game again, Balde was really good, the kid Lamine made his debut… and the bad image of the last two games was also broken by reacting and offering a very good game against Betis.
