This Wednesday gave a fun situation "paranormal" in the game of the FC Barcelona. And it is that Javier Mascherano was more near that never to mark a goal with the Barça, and in a party of vital importance and competitiveness as it was the Athletic-Barça of semifinals of Glass of Rey.
The polyvalent Argentinian player acted in the position of defensive pivote because of the drop of Sergio Busquets, and here exerted wonderfully stealing balloons, contributing in defence and oxigenando the Barcelona game when the team more needed it.
Besides, it was not at all shy with the balloon in the feet. In the minute 55 of game, the "Jefecito" was progressing until the frontal of the area of the Athletic without that anybody went out him to the step, and tested the shot from out of the area. Unfortunately, the shot went out too toneless and raso, easy for Miguel Ángel Moyá that it blocó without problems.
Mascherano, braver that never with the Barça
In any case, stood out the fact that Mascherano dared even to kick to goal. The goal would have been the guinda perfect to his big performance, since in the played of the first so much of Luis Suárez was the Argentinian the one who recovered the spherical and allowed that the Uruguayan forward smashed into the disordered defence of the Athletic of Madrid.
Like anecdote, highlight that the goal of Mascherano to the Athletic paid this Wednesday to 41 euros by euro bet in the main houses of bets, the same that if it marked the guardameta Dutch Jasper Cillessen. More than one could have carried a good cut.
