Calendar of FC Barcelona

LaLiga Had to stop in March by fault of the coronavirus and did not return until the past 13 June, does already near of a month. The FC Barcelona left to this stop like leader in solitary with two points of advantage regarding the Real Madrid, but in this turn no only has lost this advantage, but it is near to lose the championship. The Barcelona have empatado until three parties since the football returned and right now are to four of the whites, that need to add eight points of the 12 that subtract for contesting to be champions.

With a panorama like this, Quique Setién has not doubted in throwing each day of his big star and of the best footballer of the world, Leo Messi. The Argentinian has not had a break from the crash in front of the Mallorca of 13 June and up to now has played all and each one of the minutes of the competition. The Barça has needed of the '10' all the days and his trainer has had fear to leave it was or to substitute him to give him rest. The Catalans are very far to be solid and therefore it is so necessary the figure of Leo.

Therefore, the one of Rosario has contested the 90 minutes in front of the mallorquinistas, against the Leganés, Seville, Athletic, Celtic of Vigo, Athletic of Madrid and Villarreal. The 'Yellow Submarine' has been, by the way, the last victim of the Barcelona, that surpassed him by a conclusive 1-4 past east Sunday. The barcelonistas completed his best meeting from after the stop and probably also in the era Setién in general. They could put with ease 7 or 8 goals to the castellonenses and could have been a good day so that Messi rested.

Nevertheless, before beginning the crash, the Villarreal supposed that it had to be a capital challenge for the Barça, since it is one of the clubs more in shape in Spain. By this reason, range to the captain was necessary a day more and anybody doubted of this. But the reality was very distinct and from the first moment the culés were a lot of better. Although the ones of Alley empataron with the so much of Gerard Moreno, the Barcelona went back to advance fast in the marker and left almost sentenced the party before the rest with the golazo of Antoine Griezmann.

The second part yes could and surely would have to have been the perfect moment so that Messi breathed and took a rest more than deserved in the terracing. But Setién did not understand it like this and preferred to substitute to Griezmann and Luis Suárez, and leave in the field to the '10', that marked, although shortly after it cancelled it to him the VAR. At the end, Leo went without celebrating any so much his and with other 90 and so many minutes in his legs. For the sake of the Barça, all expect that the 'capi' do not notice this load of minutes in the last four days of League.

Griezmann Could take the relief of Messi

Perhaps the crash in front of the Villarreal can be the turning point that needs the Barça to leave to depend so much of Messi. The attacker has had to take out the chestnuts of the fire in almost each day these last weeks already was with goals or assistances. Antoine Griezmann, until this Sunday defenestrado by Setién, could take his relief playing of second forward, as it did in the Stadium of the Ceramics. Nevertheless, knowing to the Cantabrian technician, is likely that squeeze even more to Messi, and that the own Argentinian want to follow playing it all in this 'sprint' final of League.
