New hit for the FC Barcelona, that had big possibilities to conquer some valuable three points in front of a big rival, but that did not know them take advantage of. The key factor that wasted was the numerical advantage: Jules Koundé lost the estribos and was expelled to the minute 64. The ones of Xavi Hernández did not attain to carry the game to his favour in spite of the absence of a defensive piece.
The Sánchez Pizjuán housed an intense commitment that a priori bent in favour of the venues, seconds in the table of classification of LaLiga, but that afterwards was witness of the harp and impetus of the Barcelona picture that although it was the first in being down in the marker after the so much of Alejandro 'Papu' Gómez to the 32', recompuso to the 45' with the target of Ronald Araújo.
Everything aimed to that the exhibited during the first time would continue, and would improve, in the second, but did not go like this. It ran the minute 64 and the intensity accompanied of frustration did that Koundé went out of the papers and, afterwards to hit him a balonazo to Jordi Alba by a personal crash with the side culé, saw the red cardboard. From here, everything complicated .
Motivated for achieving the victory in project of the falencia defensive product of the expulsion, the Barcelona looked for the party, without success. In vain they were the 'intentonas' of Gavi and company. Until seven minutes added the main referee, but did not suffice for destapar the goal of the directed by Julen Lopetegui, that attained a positive result in front of a big rival.

With this result, the FC Barcelona sacks the year occupying the seventh square of the classification with 28 points, wasting like this the opportunity of colarse in the fourth place when displacing to the Ray Vallecano (30). It remains a lot of competition, subtracts to expect by an important improvement. For now, until 2022.
