JOAO WANTED TO TAKE THE PENALTY AGAINST LAS PALMAS
Joao Félix wanted to be the 'hero' of Barça in Gran Canaria
FC Barcelona managed to win against Las Palmas on their visit to Las Palmas in a tough confrontation that was decided thanks to a goal by Ílkay Gündogan from the penalty spot, but... could history have been different?
They are many the histories that produce in a party and the FC Barcelona has a long list of his visit to Big Canarian to confront to ThePalms . They achieved a suffered triumph, with traced back included, that allows them not to lose him the track to the Real Madrid and the Girona, that are in the highest of the classification with seven points of difference on the blaugrana. Still the way is too long, but resist to lose the hope and will struggle for revalidating the title.
Precisely in the crash against the Canarians, lived too many histories. From the anger of Xavi Hernández with Raphinha until the 'bronca' of the trainer in press conference. They lived moments very taut for the group blaugrana, to consequence of the negative performance of a team that did not achieve to show his best version and that is far to find the regularity, or at least this seems.
The doubts with the penalti of the Barça
The true is that it existed a lot of uncertainty when, after González Strong signalled the penalti in favour of the Barcelona by a fault of Daley Sinkgraven on Ílkay Gündogan inside the area. Robert Lewandowski had abandoned the field to the 70 minutes and Ferran Torres neither was on the lawn. It was when it seeded the doubt: Who went to launch the maximum penalty? In this moment, produced two simultaneous actions. Joao Félix took the balloon, with the intention to get dressed of hero and give the victory to the Barcelona, at the same time that Gündogan took another balloon.
From the first moment, the midfield player Teutonic had the intention to earn the penalti that he same had caused. In spite of that was having one of the greyest parties and with greater number of errors since it arrived to the City Condal, threw of experience, hierarchy and leadership to concretise the traced back of the Barcelona. Thus, Joao Félix decided to step backwards and desisted of the possibility to earn he the launching from the eleven metres.
The opportunity of Joao Félix
Surely, it was the possibility that saw the Portuguese attacker for 'reinvindicarse'. And it is that it does not be necessary to overlook the fact that the Portuguese added his first suplencia in League in more than a month. It had remained 'signalled' by his performance in the party against the Almería, before the holidays of Navidad. The luso finish going in to the 70 minutes to replace to Robert Lewandowski, with a performance stood out. In fact, it was the one who gave the first 'happen' with which finish pitándose the penalti in favour of the blaugrana.
