The FC Barcelona saved a tie with flavour to little in front of the Ray Vallecano (1-1) in an afternoon that left few remarkable performances in the individual for the culés. The group directed by Xavi Hernández went back to leave in disadvantage to the rest and, although it improved in the complement, the reaction was not sufficient to avoid another 'prick' that it can move away more to the Barcelona of the leadership.
In this sense, the party of Alejandro Balde was one of the scarce positive notes in Vallecas, a field 'damned' for the Barça from the arrival of the míster of Terrassa. The left-handed side had a first discreet part in which it saw him more engaged with defensive works to avoid problems with the tandem 'Isi' Palazón-Sergio Camel. In the complement, the '3' soltó more in attack and had direct participation in the played of the tie culé.
Balde, decisive for 'save' to the Barça in Vallecas
With the Barça dumped on the area of the Ray, Balde could desbordar by left in the 82 to filter a pass to the area girl looking for to Robert Lewandowski. The '9' advanced to Florian Lejeune and, in his eagerness for avoiding the finish of the '9', the central Frenchman finished sending the balloon to own door to put the 1-1 in the marker, a juster result in accordance with the global formality of the meeting.
For Álex, went a 'assistance' that, although it does not explain in the statistics, costs a point in another grey afternoon of the Barça. Neither it was a brilliant day for the defender of 20 years, but if it claims his effort in a final stretch where already had served some another centre with danger to the area of the Ray. For the '3' was tenth seventh party of the season, the number 13 like titling. In spite of not being to the level of the 22/23, Balde keeps on being intocable in his place.
