The Barça goes back to be shipwrecked and leaves the League in the wire (1-2)

The FC Barcelona, connoisseur of the victories of Real Madrid (1-5) and Athletic (3-0) this day, went out to leave the skin on the lawn of a Camp Nou that presented a glorious entrance, having answered to perfection the fans of the team to the call of Luis Enrique and of the club during the previous days to the dispute of the meeting against Valencia. The culés knew that they needed a triumph balsámico to keep a distance of three and four points at the head of the leadership regarding colchoneros and merengues, and by this reason from the beginning looked for to combine with criterion and, encouraged by the applauses and chants of the thousands of barcelonistas that banked in the stadium, approach the maximum possible to the goal of Valencia, a very irregular team during the present season. Sergi Roberto was the big novelty in the alignment of the Barça, leaving in the bench to Dani Alves and to an Aleix Vidal recently recovered of an injury.

The first minutes were of score so much for the Barça as for Valencia, but saw immediately the hunger and motivation of the players culés, giving constant orders on the lawn and beginning to knit a wide cobweb of possession. And in the high of this cobweb, the three arachnids of the flank of attack, Messi, Neymar and Suárez, expected to hammer in the just moment. The Barça exerted an intense pressure of balloon that allowed him recover continuously the balloon after loss, whereas in the minute 4 of party a confined by the left band of Jordi Alba finish in a pass of the death for Neymar, whose shot crashed in a defender when the public already sang the goal. The refuse of the shot collected it Sergi Roberto and tested the kick from out of the area, but again the defenders chés went back to repel the danger. The ones of Luis Enrique had left patents his intentions, and two minutes afterwards was Leo Messi the one who had the first goal of the party in his boots.

The Barça attacks and attacks, but does not mark

The Argentinian received a glorious pass to the space of Suárez and encaró to Diego Alves, but his shot was too centred and stamped against the gloves of the Brazilian goalkeeper. The Barcelona trenzaba good played of attack and had fluidity in the offensive line, but was missing him something of precision so much in the last pass as in the definition, proof of the anxiety for marking and to remove the ghosts of on. Leo Messi was desatado and very electrical, but the goal did not arrive and, in the minute 12, Neymar Jr went back to rondarlo after receiving a glorious pass in depth of "The Flea". It remained only in front of Diego Alves and tried to do him a vaselina, but remained short and the guardameta of Valencia could clear. The chés did not go out of his own area and committed hard faults that were not penalised with card by Fernández Borbalán.

Further of this, the party seemed an attack-and-goal by part of the FC Barcelona, in which the only that was missing was precisely the final target. In spite of this, a loss of Sergio Busquets in the centre of the field caused the first cortocircuito of the party for the Barça. Parejo Recovered a balloon and combined with Rodrigo, the one who remained practically in a hand manually with Claudio Bravo but did not know to define properly, with a shot raso that left brushing the right stick of the cancerbero Chilean. After the avalanche of occasions of the first chamber of hour, the game of the Barcelona cooled slightly after the occasion of Rodrigo, showing a version more to the expectation and yielding more possession of balloon to Valencia, that took advantage of it to cross the centre of the field and approach to the area of Claudio Bravo.

The football is unfair and cruel with the Barça

In any case, Luis Suárez had of a very clear opportunity being to a metre of the line of goal. It was in a kickoff of corner combed by Javier Mascherano, but the Uruguayan gave him too much power to the finish and this left above the crossbar, in a more lost occasion for the interests culés. With the cooling of the Barcelona game, the breath of the public also recessed a point and the meeting crossed a phase of uncertainty, so much in the result as in the command of the game. Although less frequent, nevertheless, the occasions of goal followed flowing for the Barça, and in a counterattack initiated by Claudio Bravo, a powerful shot and planted of Messi was repelled by Diego Alves, very inspired against the culés. The ones of Luis Enrique, unfortunately, paid his fault of gunpowder with a hard varapalo. In a contragolpe isolated of Valencia, a centre-kick of Siqueira from the left band finished despistando to Bravo and colándose in the goal of the Barça, a 0-1 very unfair.

Gerard Hammered encouraged to his mates after the goal, and the fans of the Camp Nou also. The Barça had a lot heart, but in some decisions was missing him the head and templanza that had had along all the season. In the minute 32, a new confined of Siqueira by the band of Sergi Roberto went back to generate danger, although this time the shot of the Brazilian side lost by the background line. The meeting was very open. By in front in the marker, Valencia began to lose time every time that it stopped the game, in search of the aim to arrive to the rest commanding. In the minute 38, Leo Messi had of a dangerous fault to the edge of the area, but his shot crashed in the barrier. Justo afterwards, the Argentinian finished a balloon of head from the penalty spot, but again Diego Alves went back to detain it. It seemed that Diego Alves had all the luck that to the Barça was missing him. And for I satisfy, before it finished the first-half, an elaborated played of Dani Parejo, Rodrigo and Santi Mina finish with the second goal of the party. Finalised the first time, 0-2 for the chés and the League burning for the FC Barcelona.

Leo Messi puts emotion marking his goal 500

The second half began like all the first, with the Barça trenzando played glorious in attack and failing in the definition. Luis Suárez gave a pass of the perfect death for Rakitic, but with the left leg the Croatian midfield player commanded the shot went. Justo after this occasion, Suárez fell offside in a new opportunity of goal, and in the fight by the balloon gave an involuntary hit with the boot to Mustafi, that took advantage of for arañar a minute more to the time. These two first played had been clarificadoras of what sucedería in the second half; the Barça attacking continuously and Valencia defending with harp, and also with picardía when trying lose time every time that it stopped the game. Mustafi And Diego Alves were definitely the best players chés, seconded by an Abdennour also very reliable in defence. In the minute 52, Lionel Messi kicked a new fault against the barrier, while the game went heating with hard entrances of Valencia on Neymar, the majority of them without being sanctioned with card and some of them even without fail. 

The arbitration was not being flagrant against of the Barça, but yes left some controversial decisions desfavorables for the culés, so much in faults no signalled as in kickoffs of band signalled against when they were in favour. The case is that the FC Barcelona did not achieve carburar as it wanted to, and with the step of the minutes the party escaped him like the sand between the fingers; in a sea of doubts and of opportunities of wrong goal. Jordi Alba, Messi, Suárez, Neymar, all were very little hit in the definition and in the last pass, and this condemned to the Barcelona and put increasingly nervous to the public of the Camp Nou. It surprised that in the band, as it was the party for the Barça in the minute 60, there was not any player heating in the bench of the FC Barcelona. In spite of everything, a perfect played braided in attack of the Barcelona, with a centre raso of Jordi Alba and Neymar leaving happen the balloon in a glorious deception, finished in the boots of Messi, the one who this time did not fail to mark the goal 500 of his professional career and reduce distances in the marker.

The Barça follows without finding the way to the goal

The goal had been a balsam so much for the Barça as for the fans of the Camp Nou, that went a clamour and encouraged of constant form to the team from here to the end of the party, condemning to pitadas the continuous losses of time of Valencia. The ones of Luis Enrique went even more up but followed being too accelerated in the taking of decisions. In the minute 70 of party, Neymar Jr tested luck with a shot escorado from the left band, that did not have too many problems Diego Alves to detain. To fault of a chamber of hour for the end of the meeting, the FC Barcelona still needed to mark two goals to win and keep the advantage in the League BBVA regarding Athletic and Real Madrid, but these did not arrive. Diego Alves went back to detain a big shot of Ivan Rakitic almost from inside the area, and seemed that the inspiration of the guardameta Brazilian was allocated to prevent the bloodletting of goals of a Barça increasingly desperate.

Luis Suárez and Neymar Jr were too nervous and fell constantly in went of game and mistaken decisions, but Leo Messi was playing a big party in all his facets, although something errático also in the definition. The Barça entrusted to the Argentinian, but the defensive wall of Valencia and the big moment of Diego Alves did not give place to the optimism. The party went in in the last ten minutes and everything followed the same in the Camp Nou, with continuous reactions of "ay" and "uy" between the public and a general embarrassment. In spite of this, the fans showed more than ever his barcelonismo and followed encouraging, but every time gave more the feeling that all the fish was sold. Luis Suárez did not arrive to finish them and Neymar was not at all fine, neither in the dribblings neither in the shots. The Barça besieged to Valencia and the chés expected an option to the counterattack to kill the party, but at all changed. With an opportunity failed inexplicably by Gerard Hammered with everything in favour, and so only three minutes of addition by part of the fourth referee, the party finished leaving the League as if it was a funambulista on a wire. They are missing five days for playing , and everything is for deciding. Still like this, now, more than ever... Força Barça!
