The enésimo trip of the FC Barcelona in Balaídos had given wings to an Athletic of Madrid that played it to him in LaLiga, in a week in which with the postponed by the Glass of Rey could put pressure to the Catalans. However, the history has been very distinct, because they have been his own errors those that could have him given the puntilla.
And it is that the rojiblancos need now a true miracle, after having cut his good series with a conclusive goleada in Anoeta. The Real Sociedad, launched in the final stretch of the course, hardly conceded in defence and took advantage of his inspiration in attack, finishing with a so much of Willian José and a doublet of Juanmi.
Januzaj Imposes between defences
The duel in San Sebastián began with both groups measuring his strengths from the defence, with a very accustomed visitor and a venue that from the arrival of Imanol Bailiff has gone back much more reliable. The only that campaba to his wide was Adnan Januzaj, that was able to put a balloon that answered Willian José with a big desmarque and a good finish, that touched in the stick and coló in the goal of Jan Oblak.
With hardly two men the txuri urdin had desactivado until to seven rivals, and of his own confidence was born a performance that them aupó until the victory. The absence of occasions was the tonic in a first-half that could be very distinct, because to the edge of the rest an offside that it was not desactivó one against that had left solos to Kevin Gameiro and Antoine Griezmann. Also there was space for the controversy.
Juanmi Finishes to the Athletic
In the second time little changed the script, although the clash encouraged something by the oblicación of the Athletic and the changes of the Cholo Simeone. Between the insistence rojiblanca, the opportunities were of the gipuzcoanos, that in the straight final cleared to the big taking advantage of an exchange of shots in which they went back to go out winners.
Eight minutes sufficed him to Juanmi to jump to the lawn and put a goal that sounded to sentence, after a prolongation of Willian José that it left him only in front of a defenceless Oblak to the that surpassed with a vaselina. In case it was not sufficient, the malagueño repeated, with a head butt to centre of Of the Beautiful that sent to the same square of the esloveno.
It did almost two years that the Athletic did not fit a goleada of such calibrate, and achieved it a Real that continues apurando his options to reach the Europe League. LaLiga Remains him very far to the Athletic, that although it has not lost it in Anoeta, has left the few hopes that could house. It has written the point and only is missing him the end.
