The FC Barcelona went back to disappoint by second consecutive party and fell in Amberes by 3-2. The culés began losing at all more begin, empataron before the rest and in the second part finish falling in an end of madness

The FC Barcelona went back to go out slept another night more and the Amberes did not take too much in taking advantage of it. To the 40 seconds the Belgian already were near to advance after a centre-kick from the left that did not go far of put it Barcelona. A first warning to leave him clear to the Barça that owed espabilar for no arrepentirse of something worse.

Unfortunately, the group barcelonista did not learn the lesson to time. Iñaki Crag wanted to go out playing in front of the pressure of the venues and engaged to Oriol Romeu that if what had to do was to win confidence and claim, attained all the contrary. The mediocentro wanted to combine from the frontal to the first touch and gave it to him to Vermeeren, that entirely only put the 1-0 with a perfect definition with a powerful shot that touched in the stick before going in.

The goal hurt him to the Barça, that had a pair of 'frights' more caused by a good Amberes that luckily finished in at all. The culés did not find spaces in rival field and in defence a big Ejuke by the left, and Kerk and the side Of Laet by the right, generated restlessness in the saga visitor. Luckily, Lamine Yamal, the only that seemed inspired by the Catalan team, found this gap that needed the Catalans for empatar.

Ferran empató the party before the rest

The jovencísimo extreme Hispanic-Moroccan received in the right and drove during several metres with several rivals to his around until it found with a wonderful pass to Ferran Torres, that after a big desmarque defined already inside the area with a good shot with the right. The 'Shark' empató at last in the minute 35 and did that the disaster in Belgium already was a bit less disastrous.

With this first and practically only opportunity of goal closed the Barcelona his toneless first-half. Details of the mentioned Lamine and some career that did not finish in at all of Alejandro Balde were the little stood out in attack that did the ones of Xavi. By part of the Amberes, that in spite of having some arrival more, hardly did clear occasions further of the first so much, the best were definitely the talentoso Vermeeren, author of the 1-0, and Ejuke, that went back crazy to the defence visitor.

The beginning of the second part was an authentic madness, with a goal cancelled to the Amberes to the little to go back of the changing rooms. Vermeeren Received entirely only near of the area after a clear unfit defensive of the Barça, put it to the second stick rasa and Janssen, after a series of rebounds, finish marking. Luckily, the target did not go up to the marker because his knee was advanced before receiving the pass.

The Amberes went back to take advantage of another error of Romeu

The Barcelona reacted fast and Lamine Yamal brushed the 1-2 with a strong volley inside the area with the left-handed that commanded to the crossbar. This could have been the turning point for the Catalans, but unfortunately did not go it. No a lot afterwards, in the 56, Janssen, that did a partidazo, yes marked this time in legal position after another error of bulto of Romeu. The one of Ulldecona the peerdió in the frontal and the Dutch, after receiving the pass of Keita, defined perfectly with the left-handed to put the 2-1.

Xavi saw the clear superiority of the Amberes after the second so much and did not take neither five minutes in taking out to three 'heavy weights' to revolutionise the crash. Pedri, Gündogan and Joao Cancel jumped to the field before the hour of meeting to generate more football and danger. The entrance of the three and the tiredness accumulated in the venues did that the culés won more presence in the rival area, something basic to try mark.

The own Pedri had a very clear to equalise after a big combination with a missing Lewandowski, but after recortar to the defence to few metres of the goal, another defender finish it to him removing before it could finish. In spite of the opportunity, to the barcelonistas was costing them a world generate something and thus Xavi metio more 'wood' with Casadó, another 'jugón' for the half, and with Marc Guiu, the 'saviour' in front of the Athletic does some months.

Final madness in Amberes and local triumph

It gave the feeling that the duel was abocado to finish with this 2-1, but the last minutes were a 'madness' complete. It had to be once again Guiu the one who empatara 'in extremis' in the 91 with a big head butt to centre of Gündogan. The Barça went with everything after the 2-2 looking for the triumph, but this went precisely what carried him to commit his enésimo error.

In the played of kickoff of centre, the Amberes took advantage of the enésimo unfit culé backwards to go back crazy to all his fans. Ilenikhena Remained entirely only in front of Crag and did not fail to go back to advance to his and to sink to the Barcelona. Second defeat followed after the one of the Girona and second 'slip' in this Champions League to sack this phase of groups like first of group, but with more doubts that never.
