A slight contact of the leg of De Marcos with the one of Jordi Alba, while the player of the Athletic finished, generated the controversy in the goal of the tie of the 'lions'
The FC Barcelona had completed a very good first time against the Athletic of Bilbao, but did not begin the second half with the same reliability neither intensity. In a played isolated, the 'lions' approached by the left band and to the centre attended Of Marcos, that arrived to perfection for desequilibrar with controversy to Jordi Alba and cause his autogol in the minute 49.
We say with controversy because, just in the attempt of finish of the footballer visitor, this soltó the arm and the another leg to do fall to Jordi Alba that, in inertia, finish finishing without wanting to his own goal. The players of the Barça protested the action to Mateu Lahoz, but the VAR finish giving the goal by valid and also there was consensus between the commentators of the transmission of 'Movistar'.
The contact, minimum, had not been sufficient as so that the VAR indicated to the referee that was necessary to cancel the goal of the Athletic, and seeing one and again the repetitions remains clear that the tool of videoarbitraje did not make a mistake, in spite of the protests continued of the players culés. Frenkie Of Jong and the own Jordi Alba were the most insistent, but at the end there was not luck.
Jordi Alba, that so much depth and results contributes ofensivamente by his left band, to base of assistances, good game and even some goal, in this occasion had to suffer more than the account in defence to try close the space to the that attended Of Marcos, arriving too forced.
Griezmann Solved the ballot
A very similar situation occurred him two weeks ago in the final of the Supercopa of Spain, precisely also with Of Frames like winner of the action when marking one of the goals of the Athletic Club. Fortunately, the FC Barcelona finish carrying this Sunday the three points of the Camp Nou, thanks to a target of Griezmann in the 74' that puts him already with ten targets this campaign 2020-21.
The French closes a month of January of dream to individual level, with five goals and four assistances that turn him into one of the players in better state of form of the team. If the FC Barcelona resolves his intermittences and disconnections, can aspire to titles this course... Although LaLiga, if the Athletic of Madrid does not slacken, will be almost impossible.
