He Xavi Hernández’s FC Barcelona receives Real Betis at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium to play the fifth matchday from LaLiga EA Sports. Barcelona will try to get the three points and put pressure on the current leader, Real Madrid, since if Xavi’s team wins this game they would be placed as provisional leaders. However, Pellegrini’s men will try to surprise the Catalans with a team led by Isco, who has been the MVP of his team in the last four LaLiga games.
Good start to the game for FC Barcelona. The Blaugrana team is dominating and being the protagonist in this first quarter of an hour of the game. Xavi Hernández’s men are knowing how to manage the tempo of the game and they have maintained control of possession for practically the entire first quarter. The Blaugranas have shown tactical wealth that is translating into several arrivals into the area and some unclear scoring chances. Betis, on the other hand, has seemed more subdued and not very dominant.
Howeverit was the winger of the green and white team, Luiz Henrique, who had the clearest chance of what we’ve had in the game, a powerful cross shot that grazed Ter Stegen’s post.
