It touches to be optimistic and celebrate the victory as it deserves , win in the Pizjuán is not easy and the Barça did it. A very valuable victory that has, besides, the prize of the leadership lost the previous week. It go by in front ours more absolute respect to the work of the group, led by a very correct technician that however does not finish to take him the point to a team that is in free fall and threat with going to rack and ruin anytime.
The surprising defeat of the Athletic in Almería (2-0), propició that the Barça will arrive to Seville with the possibility to recover the control of the League. After the prick of the previous week against Valencia the Barcelona had the opportunity to clear all the doubts at one stroke. Far to face the challenge with the delivery required, the ones of Martino played the worst first part of the season.
The party began with the surprising absence of Alves and Busquets in the eleven culé, and that added to the ones of Mascherano and Alba, sanctioned. The message of Martino was dangerous was thinking in Anoeta?. Cost to think that it place in front the Glass to the round of the leadership suspender belt, overcoat because the most important party always is the following. Alignments aside, the team that jumped to the lawn of the Pizjuán was of guarantees. On the paper, the eleven elected were perfectly qualified to surpass the challenge.
The team played the worst 30 minutes of the championship. The Barcelona showed less dominadores of the usual and saw surpassed by a Seville that put to the discovered all the defensive lacks of this team. A goal tempranero and a historical downpour erased to the Barça of the party. Luckily, the targets of Alexis, offside, Messi -two and geniales- and Cesc would finish dictating sentence.
This yes, the first part went out him very cheap to the Barça. The Seville had four very clear opportunities, of which converted only one. The Andalusian team advanced in the minute 15 with a lucky goal. Rakitic Starred a brilliant played that culminated Alberto Moreno with a shot that touched in Bartra and despistó to Valdés. To continuation would forgive the second in a head butt to the stick of Bacca (min 20) and in one against with everything in favour of Rakitic, that shot too crossed (min 28). Thirty minutes that could have changed radically the decorated of the party, and that, in Barcelona key, could have caused the first sportive crisis of the season.
From here, the Barça began to step with danger the area sevillista. However, empataría thanks to Alexis Sánchez (min 33), in a goal that would not have to have gone up to the marker by clear offside of the Chilean. The "referee's" push opened the party, although the Barça continued suffering in defence. Diluviaba In the Sánchez Pizjuán, when Valdés has saved miraculously a shot point-blank of the venues. In the contragolpe, Messi aimed the 1-2 with a latigazo descomunal from the frontal.
In the resumption the time would improve slightly, in spite of the strong wind. Of entrance, the Barça followed without being able to do long possessions and suffered a big fright in an action of Vitolo, preceded by a clear fault to Montoya. The team answered with a too crossed shot of Alexis (min 51), but in the following played Valdés avoided the tie with a double intervention. The defensive fuss was evident, and only the luck and Valdés avoided the disaster.
With the 1-2, the Seville had to pull and the Barça him pilló, again, with a fast transition in which Iniesta (assistant) and Messi (goleador) were the main actors (min 55). The forcefulness of the Argentinian had decanted the scales in a party that was lost. Once again, the magic of Iniesta and the goals of Messi maquillaban the bad party of the culés. The last coletazos of the Seville -especially to previous unemployed balloon centre of Rakitic- caused more than a sobresalto, but did not have the tarpaulin of face to goal of the Barça, that even would annotate the chamber by means of Cesc.
The reality is evident, today the Barça is leader of the League of miracle. The team follows showing a worrisome image, very far of what expects of a team champion. For the moment, the results keep the sportive calm, although this will depend on the next results, overcoat in the next eliminatory of Champions against the Manchester City. If the Barcelona do not improve in defence will have a bad time, and if they fall in Europe, Tata Martino has the days explained. The Champions does not forgive.
