The 'inconsequential' record of Barça against Espanyol

The FC Barcelona had big problems in the dispute of the derbi Catalan, against the RCD Espanyol, further of the referee's controversy. The ones of Xavi Hernández did not know how benefit of the overwhelming command in the terrain of game to translate it in goals for 'sentence' prompt the meeting.

The Barça played without opposition in front of a picture 'perico' that resisted as it could and that found in Álvaro Fernández, his guardameta, a hero to rescue a point and, like this, not finish in the zone of descent. They took advantage of of an aproxiamación very clear to achieve a penalti, by fault of Marcos Alonso to Joselu, to put the equality in the marker.

The Barça did not transform his opportunities neither the command in goal and, of there, the tie. And it is that, in the party, the Barça achieved 77,4% of possession of the spherical, the highest that have registered in what it goes of season, but that it was insufficient to generate differences. Before, the record was in 77,3% in a party against the Elche in LaLiga, in which they had achieved 77,2%.

Ephemeral possession

Once again, the Barça signed a party in which had a lot the balloon, but in which it did not know what do with the. The ones of Xavi were very imprecise in the last touch and left the feeling, again, that if Robert Lewandowski does not annotate, to the team costs him too much find the way to the goal.

Xavi has to find the formula so that the team have a balance between the command and the effectiveness, that in some times has been missing. It will be a key point for the next months, in which the requirement will be maximum by the big quantity of parties that will contest between LaLiga, Glass of Rey, Supercopa of Spain and Europe League.
