Barça’s authority blow in the Clásico

Barca and Real Madrid they came to his 9th Classic with very high expectations. It was expected to be the most even duel in its history. Both were presented with the undefeated label. But the azulgranas showed gallons and they thrashed 0-4 to a team that had only conceded two goals in the previous six games. Toril’s team still has a way to go to match the azulgranas. The technical and tactical quality of Patri and Aitana even made the absence of Alexia, Hansen and Mariona forget.

he was not wrong Jonathan Giraldez warning that the key to the duel would be in the first minutes of the game. The Barça soccer players had it engraved on fire. And so they captured it in the Alfredo di Stéfano, which had hung the ‘sold out’ sign. Geyse Ferreira warned in the first minute of the match with a shot in the area that forced Misa to act. Also Patri Guijarro, after an extension in the area by Lucy Bronze, who hit the crossbar.

In the next dangerous action, Barça’s first goal did come. Patri Guijarro assisted Crnogorcevic at the penalty spot, where the Swedish international showed physicality and speed to overcome Svava and head the first of the match.

Real Madrid did not react. Crnogorcevic could have scored a brace in the first five minutes of play if it weren’t for a brilliant Misa, who won him 1-1. Geyse was also able to score early. The Brazilian was comfortable on the pitch and was exhibited. He sprinted down the flank, settled in and even changed direction to assist Bronze, who erred on caution, firing too late.

Alberto Toril’s defense was fragile in the first minutes of play. Teresa Abelleira and Athenea guided Real Madrid towards an improved version, somewhat closer than expected. They were gaining possession, but they could not create danger in the goal of Sandra Paños. The first shot on goal was almost at the end of the first half (m.36). Esther was left alone against Paños and shot at the first touch, but without flinching at the Barça goalkeeper.

When Barça was worse, the second goal of the duel. Mapi León put the corner to the penalty spot, where Patri took the ball with pause, and settled it to finish off and beat Misa. The midfielder was once again one of Barça’s best: he directed the team with and without the ball, generated superiority on the pitch, assisted and scored.

Barça warned again when returning from the break. After an error when Real Madrid got the ball out, Geyse recovered and assisted Crnogorcevic, leaving her alone against the goalkeeper, but the Barça number ‘7’ failed again. And after this first warning, the third arrived. Rolfö crossed the ball from the side, and it was caught by the Swiss international, who finished off and received her own clearance. She then gave the ball to Aitana, who beat Misa to add another goal to the scoreboard.

Real Madrid’s danger did not go beyond a foul by Abelleira that went too high and a shot by Zornoza from outside the area that hit the right stick by Sandra Paños. But to Misa’s disbelief, the goal came back to his goal, and in a chaotic manner. Pina assisted Aitana, the midfielder’s shot reached Rolfö, who received his own rebound and had only to push the ball to score the final quarter and sentence the win. Barça consolidates its lead with a 5-point advantage over Madrid CFF and 8 over Real Madrid, who have one game in hand.
