Beyond all doubt, if in the party between the Málaga CF and the FC Barcelona it was necessary to put a face and a cross to the individual performances of the Barcelona footballers, these would win them to him by different reasons Jeremy Mathieu and Thomas Vermaelen. And it is that while the international Belgian was of the worst of the team in the first time, the French was all the contrary and infected to his in the second half.

Like the cold and the heat or the white and the black, like this of different were the 45 minutes of Thomas Vermaelen and Jeremy Mathieu. The Belgian head office went back to the titularity after playing his last meeting in front of the RCD Espanyol in the turn of eighth of final. There cuajó a very serious meeting, anticipating in all the actions and being a safe in defence, all the contrary that in front of the Málaga.

Vermaelen Seemed in front of the Andalusians this butter that undoes in the oven in front of the eyes of the cook, in this case his angered trainer Luis Enrique. From the beginning it saw that it did not go to be his day, failed in the crosses, left only to Juanpi and slipped when the venues merodeaban the goal of bravo, forcing to Mascherano to play the type and clear a balloon that could be penalti in case to throw a second afterwards.

The defender was not at all well and, unlike the party of the first turn in the Camp Nou where did the goal of the victory in front of the malagueños, in this occasion practically gave the so much of the tie when covering badly the zone by where appeared Juanpi. An error that went the satisfy for "Struggle", that loaded it "to him" in the rest, leaving him with a face of very few friends in the bench.

In his place went in Jeremy Mathieu that seemed went to eat the world. The Frenchman was fine in the exit of the ball, without errar any pass, showed very serious by high and did not leave that the blanquiazules put in aprietos to Claudio Bravo. In spite of carrying two months without playing in this demarcation, the last time that it did it was in front of the Real Madrid in the Bernabéu by the injury of "Masche", did not notice in at all. Beyond all doubt it was the change that helped to the team to wake up from the retaguardia to tackle the traced back final with the golazo of Leo Messi.
