Frenkie de Jong, Araújo, Ferran... Barça's 1x1 in the victory against Barbastro

The FC Barcelona suffered more than the account against the Barbastro with a suffered victory by 2-3 in the meeting of dieciseisavos of final of the Glass of Rey. Xavi Hernández did not assume risks and went out with an eleven headline 'powerful', with the aim to ensure the victory in front of the team of second RFEF and give back the good feelings to the staff. The team went out to 'bite' and from very early began to arrive the dangerous occasions. The meeting was of more to less for the culés and suffered a lot in the second part when the ones of Huesca annotated until in two occasions and tightened the party. Like this it was the performance of the players blaugranas in the victory in Glass:

Iñaki Crag: Unsure

Although it neither had a lot of activity during the first part, the Alicante did not show to be a guarantee under the three sticks. It showed some indecision in the exits with the fists, what could have represented a problem.

Koundé: Valiente

It went back to exert like right side to cover the absence of Cancel and fulfilled, although it did not contribute the same verticality that the Portuguese. It showed courage in his incursions and was alert in the defensive works. With the entrance of Íñigo in the minute 64, displaced to the centre of the defence and neither confronted big difficulties.

Christensen: Solvent

 

It did not stand out of extraordinary way, but exerted his work with solidity in defence. Inside the defensive line, was the one who less contact had with the balloon, but his scarce participation in the game showed to be hit and was attentive to the development of the party.

Araújo: Imprecise

Lights and shadows in the performance of the charrúa. The central exhibited his remarkable defensive skills in several occasions, but in others also showed imprecise and lost some unnecessary balloons. It has not been one of the best performances of the defender.

Héctor Fort: Apt

Although it is not usual to see it play by the left, the canterano Barcelona fulfilled with grow. The player of the Barça Athletic showed solidity in defence and did not leave to visit the band, offering constantly and providing precise centres. In one of his incursions by the band, attained to connect with Raphinha, to the one who assisted in the second goal with a precise long pass to the second stick.

Fermín: Todoterreno

 

Excellent performance of the Barcelona midfield player, that evidenció of clear way the qualities of a player 'box to box' and was one of which printed more rhythm to the party. It commissioned to open the marker with the 1-0 after finishing a centre of Raphinha and was near to annotate in more than an occasion. The player showed extremely participatory and was one of the best of the party.

Oriol Romeu: Irregular

 

His performance was decreciendo along the party. After a first part in which it distributed well the game and was attentive to the development of the meeting, gradually began to accumulate errors and losses of balloon that desequilibraron the centre of the field of the Barcelona. The one of Ulldecona continues without convincing.

Frenkie Of Jong: Attentive

 

It follows evidenciando that is a key piece in the Barcelona of Xavi and had an exceptional first-half. It was the director of orchestra of the Barcelona game, in spite of experiencing a decrease in his performance in the second part. The first goal arose of a glorious pass to the gap that delivered him to Raphinha so that this assisted to Fermín.

Raphinha: Incisive

From very early showed that it was had to put in difficulties to Carbonell, left side of the Barbastro, with which kept a trepidante duel during all the party. The rival defence little could do in front of a Raphinha very inspired, that assisted to Fermín in the first goal and that gave a recital of dribblings in the right band.

Ferran Torres: Active

It split from the tip of attack and did not stop to cause problems to the rival defence, making desmarques and opening spaces with ease, although it did not attain to conclude his performance with a goal. Instead, it wasted a clear opportunity after a bad boat of the balloon, evidenciando the fault of efficiency of the Barça in front of the contrary goal.

Joao Félix: Listless

The Portuguese went back to show that only it surrenders to his best level when like this it wishes it. It showed little participation and exceeded in playing of way individualista, subtracting more than addend to the team. Although they cancelled him a goal of unfair way, his exert in general was not stood out, generating a remarkable disappointment by part of Xavi.

Iñigo Martínez: Alarming

It remained in the terrain of game during eleven minutes before withdrawing by injury. The player of Ondarroa returned to the action after more than a month of absence, and far to recover feelings, suffered a new injury. The situation of the central generates worry so much in Xavi as in the technical team.

Vitor Roque: Focused

 

The Brazilian longs for to mark his first goal with the Barcelona T-shirt, but still does not attain to concretise his performances. It failed a clear opportunity in a one against one that finished in the hands of the rival goalkeeper after a quite centred shot.

Lewandowski: Precise

It went out to give goal to a team that needed it and did it of penalti. It fulfilled with his task and gave a goal of advantage that served for the victory.

Gündogan: Unexpected

It seemed that Xavi went him to give rest but in front of the complications of the party the technician resorted to he to give order to the party and calm the game.
