The FC Barcelona achieved an adjusted victory in Vicente Calderón thanks to two works of art of Luis Suárez and Leo Messi, that served to decant clearly the eliminatory of semifinals of Glass of the King 2016-17. The Barcelona ate to the Athletic of Madrid in the first-half, but in the second the ones of the "Cholo" Simeone reacted and were about to empatar the party, reducing distances by means of a finish of head of Antoine Griezmann. The Barça, in any case, has foot and half in the final of Glass of Rey, something that will have to certify in the Camp Nou although it will not be able to have Neymar Jr, that saw the yellow card that will enforce him cycle.

In any case, go by parts. Luis Enrique surprised with a centre of the field of big physical potential in Vicente Calderón, with the presence of Javier Mascherano like defensive pivote and with Ivan Rakitic and André Gomes in the helps, those who would finish being relieved of the terrain of game in the second half by players more dynamic in attack. The question is that the Barcelona, without doing practically at all, found in the minute 7 of party commanding in the marker. Javier Mascherano recovered a balloon in the centre of the field and Luis Suárez collected the refuse. The Uruguayan went out escopeteado to the counterattack and won in career, thanks to an autopase, to four defenders to beat to Moyá in the one against one.

Works of art of Suárez and Messi

It was the 0-1 for the FC Barcelona, an authentic golazo that put by in front in the marker to the culés and besides changed the course of the party. The Athletic began to open his lines to look for the goal of the tie, and this allowed that the Barcelona followed throwing contragolpes dangerous by means of the "MSN", with Neymar Jr also very enchufado to the hour of desbordar and cause faults and yellow, although it was not too fine in his shots against the contrary goal. In any case, the question is that Leo Messi expanded the distances in the minute 33.

With a whiplash from out of the area, of big power and placing, raised the whispers in the terracings of the Calderón and bent the advantage in favour of the ones of Luis Enrique. It treats already of one of the best goals of the career of Leo Messi, been due to the aesthetic of the shot, that touched in the stick and coló in the goal without that any defender could take it out of inside. With the 0-2, the Barcelona followed dominating and had of some occasions more in spite of approaches explained of the Athletic, mainly by means of finish of head of Diego Godín.

The Barça goes down the concentration after the rest

After the rest, the blaugrana trusted excess in spite of the orders of Luis Enrique. André Gomes, Rakitic and company began to lose balloons in the centre of the field and the exit of balloon, had to largely to a very intense pressure of the Athletic. The colchoneros recovered constantly the balloon and shut to the Barça in his area, launching centres to the pot without stopping and shooting from out of the area. In the minute 59, in a played to unemployed balloon, Godín assisted of head Griezmann so that the French, also of head, reduced distances.

After the goal of the French, the star rojiblanca was about to empatar few minutes later with a finish point-blank, but Cillessen was very very placed. The Athletic tightened and tightened, linking an occasion after another. Fortunately, the férrea defence of Hammered and company, and also a pinch ofluck , allowed to the Barcelona leave with the victory of the Calderón. Neymar Jr, this yes, saw the yellow card and will not be able to play the party of turn of the eliminatory. Although it foresees that yes they can do it Busquets and Andrés Iniesta.
