A feat of Lamine Yamal and a network in the recovery of Fermoín give Barcelona the Liga number 28. The Blaugrana won the derby with the Espanyol 2-0, conquering the trophy at the home of rivals exactly as two years ago, which generated great tension in the end, with the sprouting of the lawn operated to try to water and cool the Culé party. The minor Lamine Yamal reproduced the magic network that had marked to France in the semifinal of the European Championship last year, and is the symbol of this new Barça di Flick that closes the season with the national triple: Super Cup of Spain, Copa del Rey and Liga. The Madrid 2 days from the end is at -7 and is therefore officially champion who came out. Farewell to Ancelotti, welcome to Flick, who in his first year in Spain transformed and launched a Barcelona full of young people and Canterans, like the two markers of this evening.

The choices

Unpublished defense for Barcelona, ​​Eric García continues to replace Kounde, Gerard Martín sends Balde on the bench again, with Cubarsí Acciato and Iñigo Martinez disqualified space in Araujo and ChristenSesn. In front of Lewandowski also because Ferran Torres was operated on appendicitis.

The accident

Shortly before the game a woman lost control of her car and ended up investing the crowd of fans who was going to the stadium. Panic, 14 injured but fortunately nobody serious. The news not confirmed, however, was magnified and in the 7th minute of the first half the fans behind the door of Joan García asked the extreme defender of the Espanyol to warn the referee to suspend the race. The stop lasted a few seconds, the speaker said several times that there were no serious injuries but part of the curve still left and it no longer returned.

Espanyol waste

The Espanyol defended himself with great order preventing Barça from creating a single true danger in the first half, and scaring Barça with two very fast counterattacks: in the first Urko he wasted shooting out, in the second Szczesny he was immense on Puado, who then threw another restart away with a passage to Kumbulla to forget. On the other hand, Lamine, Lewa and Raphinha controlled with great diligence by the defense ‘Períca’.

Always lamina

Flick inserted Balde for Gerard Martín and immediately lost Araujo, replaced by Cubarsí, but consoled himself with the magic of Lamine Yamal, who in 53 ‘decided the Liga with his left -wing left, returning from the right personal trademark. A wonderful blow, a hypnotic parable, an impregnable trajectory also for the best goalkeeper of the Liga, Joan García.

Expulsion and tension

Szczesny was again decisive by showing great reflections on a close conclusion by Roberto that the guardalinee erroneously judged in offside, and 10 ‘from the term Cabrera committed suicide giving an elbow to the belly of Lamine Yamal in the race: referee in the Var and red card. The Espanyol really gave everything, but it was not enough and in the final the doubling of Fermoín followed followed by great celebrations and great tension: the usual Gavi accused of various provocations, masters of the inferocytes and imperviousing activates as the Blaugrana had done on that Nerazzurri night of the Camp Nou in 2010. Small restrictions in the well -deserved triumph of the Flick team, who arrived at 97 goals in 36 days.
