The triumph agónico in front of the group 'che' left another good performance of a Balde the one who already aims to be insustituible for the Barça, so much in League as in Europe. The canterano did not project so much in attack, but fulfilled in defence in spite of a fright in the complement that almost it costs him the disadvantage to the culés. Samuel Lino won him the back to the player of 19 years, but his so much was cancelled by previous hand of Marcos André.

It was him only distraction of the '28', the one who with the step of the minutes lució safer in a saga that finish more improvised that never by the injuries of Eric García and Jules Koundé.

To his enormous speed adds the tactical discipline to know when project in attack and how cover spaces in a saga patched by the drops. In Mestalla tried to help to Ousmane Dembélé with good reliefs in three chambers of field in the first part, something that no sucedió in the complement after the entry of Raphinha. However, the Barça attained to sustain the zero in the final stretch without difficulties, to a large extent thanks to his good work.
