The alignments of Luis Enrique and the "Cholo" Simeone left very clear, from before the balloon threw to film, which would be the dynamics of the party. The FC Barcelona went out with the eleven of "gala" that served to win five titles the past year 2015, whereas the Athletic of Madrid appeared only with a tip, Antoine Griezmann, leaving in the bench to two prestigious forwards like Luciano Vietto and Jackson Martínez. The group colchonero had gone out to the Camp Nou clearly to defend , be solid during all the party and can like this have of some opportunity to beat to Bravo going out to the counterattack, taking advantage of the speed of Griezmann, Koke and Carrasco. With the party begun, the first minutes were of score, with the possession of balloon mainly in the centre of the field and near of the inmediaciones of the area of the Barça.

In the minute 2 of party, the Athletic left clear that every time that had opportunity would generate danger. A powerful and placed shot from out of the area of Saúl Ñíguez caused that Bravo had to lucirse, sending the spherical to corner. Two kickoffs of corner and a lateral fault in favour of the rojiblancos in only three minutes of game. The Barça, however, had patience to the hour to go out with the balloon controlled, conscious that when it attained to surpass the high offensive pressure of the Athletic, the things would be easier for the centre of the field and the Barcelona trident.

The Athletic advances thanks to Koke


Little by little, the ones of Luis Enrique surpassed the pressure and began to shut to the Athletic of Madrid in his own area, although without testing any shot that upset to Jan Oblak. The Barça had continuity with the balloon, and the will to go maturing with the step of the minutes a party for the moment very equalised, until the Athletic of Madrid undid it. And it is that Koke Resurrection, in the minute 9 of the first-half, took advantage of a precise centre of Carrasco from the right band to beat to Bravo. Rakitic And Alves arrived late to cover to Koke, whereas Carrasco surpassed with too much ease to Jordi Alba, that showed not having still the sufficient competitive rhythm after the injury that kept him around ten days moved away of the terrains of game.

The goal dinamizó even more the party, with the players of the FC Barcelona more taut -and also intense-, sabedores that they would have to mark prompt to put the tables in the marker and have after more opportunities to carry the three points. Neymar Jr desequilibraba Every time that touched the balloon, but during the first minutes Leo Messi and Luis Suárez did not smell the balloon, by fault of the populated and very organised defence of the Athletic. In the minute 15 of game, the Brazilian star of the Barça received a pisotón of Juanfran when it tried encarar that left him with annoyances during several minutes, desconectándose momentáneamente.

The Barça recovers and Messi reflects it


This, joined to the losses of balloon of Alves, Messi, Hammered and company, in addition to the discomfort that generated the Athletic, proposed a flat party, with the possession imperando in the centre of the field and without that the culés attained to approach too much to the goal of Jan Oblak. The referee Undiano Mallenco also contributed to increase the unrest between the fans culé of the Camp Nou, forgiving some that another yellow card to players of the Athletic of Madrid and showing very permisivo with the contacts near of the area colchonera. In the minute 25, Leo Messi tested luck with a shot of fault, but this went out too diverted rightwards and did not cause danger. Fulfilled the first half hour of party, the Barcelona followed losing but had shut during the greater part of minutes to the Athletic in his own area. Luis Suárez desmarcó quickly, Iniesta put him a balloon measured and the Uruguayan finished to goal, but Oblak attained to repel the shot.

The Athletic did not do more than losing balloons and vascular to defend of a Barça enrabietado, in what it seemed the anteroom of the first goal of the Barça, that sure enough arrived when the team more needed it. In a played very elaborated, participating Iniesta, Suárez, Neymar and Jordi Alba, went Leo Messi the one who finished at the end of the goal a pass of the death of Alba, with a shot raso and imparable for the guardameta of the Athletic of Madrid. Just tie in the marker, but few cards of Mallenco. Saúl and, especially, Filipe Luis, deserved to leave to the rest with yellow, but did not go like this. What himself sucedió was a new golazo of the Barça, this time acts of Suárez, that held to perfection the charged of Godín, taking advantage of a pass in depth of Alves, to surpass to Oblak annotating his tenth ninth goal in League BBVA beating it underneath of the legs.

Disconnection of the Barça in the second half


Before it finished the first part, to the Barça would put him the party even more of face. Criminal entrance of Filipe Luis in a balloon divided to the knee of Messi, and this time Undiano Mallenco did not doubt to the hour to show the direct red cardboard. Luis Enrique protested angrily shouting "What is this! What is this!", but fortunately there was decision hit of the referee. The second half began with the "Cholo" Simeone moving the bench and giving gone in to Jesús Gámez by Gabi, with the will to give solidity to the defensive line mermada by the expulsion of Filipe Luis. The Barça went out with a rhythm reposado to the rest and with a lot of possession of balloon, moving it of a zone to another and looking for spaces in the defence rojiblanca. The party went down a lot the rhythm of intensity to the beginning of the second half, although the Barça had to "kill" the party and not playing with fire.

Barça and Athletic equalised his strengths, and Griezmann had of a clear occasion of empatar the party, with a finish point-blank that Bravo diverted with the tip of the foot to corner. Griezmann And Carrasco Were turning into a nightmare for the defenders of the Barcelona, especially doing cost his speed and physical power. The Athletic assumed risks and went to the attack, but the Barça was too desconectado to take advantage of opportunities to the counterattack. It gave the feeling, during the first chamber of hour of the second half, that the expulsion of Filipe Luis had prejudiced more to the Barça -mentally- that to the Athletic of Madrid.

The Athletic with nine... And the third does not arrive


Surprisingly, the Athletic had shut to the Barcelona in said phase of the meeting, assuming the risk that any stray balloon could finish in a lethal counterattack that finish with the options rojiblancas of empatar the party. Gerard Hammered showed flawless during all the party in each one of his defensive interventions, no like Diego Godín. In spite of being one of the best head offices of the world, the Uruguayan went in happened of turns to Luis Suárez when the played did not comport danger and arrolló to his mate of selection, seeing the second yellow card and leaving to the changing rooms. The Athletic happened to play with nine footballers, already oriented more to defend that to attack, and conscious that it would be a gesta almost impossible empatar.

Still they would have more problems for the Athletic of Madrid in the second half. Augusto, after a bad gesture in an entrance, left lesionado with an injury of knee that did not paint at all well, receiving the applauses of the Camp Nou. The Barça, however, followed practising his game and Burn Turan was about to to mark the third after a big pass of Busquets. The Turkish received in the interior of the area, turned and connected a powerful shot that left diverted by very little. Further of this, the reality is that the party did not have too much history until the pitido final of Undiano Mallenco. The FC Barcelona, with the victory, plants three points above the Athletic, still with the pending party against the Sporting, and already is leader in solitary of the League BBVA.
