The patience and Coutinho put to the Barça in the final of Glass (0-2)

It promised to be a duel of maximum intensity in Mestalla, but the fiera that went Valencia tamed it the 'Rey of Glasses' to base of patience. The impetus of the ones of Marcelino García Toral braked it the FC Barcelona with a flawless exercise of pressure and an amazing tranquility in the construction. It arrived the rest, appeared the changes and Philippe Coutinho sentenced. The venues tried to revolve, but what arrived was the finish of Ivan Rakitic, and the confirmation that the culés are in his fifth consecutive final in the Glass. The King is the King.

It expected the encerrona Ernesto Valverde in a field complicated, but his strategy did not vary the most minimum in a meeting in which it consigns it was clear. Without going in in the frantic rhythm blanquinegro and accelerating every time that there was a loss of balloon attained the visitors adueñarse of the party, that had the surprises of André Gomes and a more expected of Gerard Hammered.

The letters put on the table very soon, with the group 'che' incomodando to Sergio Busquets with a trident in which Rodrigo was a nuisance between the medullary and the defence. After some bullets of fogueo arrived the first serious shots, but Jaume cleared of fists a good launching of fault of Leo Messi and the crossbar, so many times enemy, tornó in ally for escupir a finish of head of the hispanobrasileño.

With Valencia defending very backwards but running with danger to forward, the Barça was by moments very horizontal, with the Argentinian like estilete and Andrés Iniesta looking for some gaps that did not exist. Little clearer there was in the first 45 minutes, further of Luis Suárez that brushed some loose balls by the indecisions between the defences and the goalkeeper. Everything followed very open.

Coutinho Premières , Rakitic sentence

Hardly there was time for the doubts after the rest, because in one of his first interventions, Philippe Coutinho premièred giving the best of the breaks to his. The tireless Suárez penetrated by the left, centred the balloon to the second stick and throwing with everything appeared the Brazilian to cross it and lodge it in the base of the stick. 0-1 and a foot and half put in the final.

What arrived afterwards was a want to and can not valencianista, first because the Catalans followed biting and afterwards because the freshness no longer was the same after seeing by behind in the marker. The double change of Marcelino hardly surtió effect, because although Gonçalo Guedes carried of head to Sergi Roberto, his mates did not attain to finish his occasions.

Those who could finish were the culés, that began to find spaces but no atinaban with the network. It could arrive the closing in one against guided by Suárez, but the balloon that stole him to Messi, by twice did not attain to take advantage of it Ivan Rakitic. In a much more open duel, the one who allowed a luxury was Jasper Cillessen, after the enésima played of Guedes and a finish of Gayà in the small area that the Dutch diverted with a very firm hand.

The chronometer went discounting and turning off to courses forced the hope 'che', and the one who threw him the definite closing was Suárez. Another flawless theft of balloon left with a pass to Rakitic absolutely only in the frontal, and the Croat this time did not forgive converting with an own coolness of a launching of penalti.

In the last minutes withdrew the encouraged Gerard Hammered, and the Barça gave another joy with the debut of Yerry Mina. Hardly it saw demanded the Colombian but attained to aim another moment dreamed, that would be another positive note on the way if on 21 April raises another Glass of Rey. It has arrived the fifth consecutive final and would be the fourth trophy followed, and is that now, 'only' remains the Seville. The King is the King, and is hungry of titles. That like this it was.
