DUEL OF STARS IN DALLAS
Barça 'liquidates' Real Madrid (3-0) in a little 'friendly' Clásico
FC Barcelona and Real Madrid have been measured in a duel full of 'sparks' and in which intensity has not been lacking. The Catalans have "shaken" from the bad feelings and have used great goals, from Dembélé, Fermín and Ferran, to continue their tradition of winning the Classics in the United States
If there is something true and that touches 'tatuárselo' is that there is not Classical friendly. For the FC Barcelona and the Real Madrid does not exist a party in which they go down pulsaciones, all the contrary. Against the eternal rival, was in Dallas or Tokyo, does not serve the of 'relax', neither much less. In the AT&T Stadium has lived a 'war' with arms, with intensity and without grantings in which it has lived of everything and leaves clear that, when they cross in the season, there will be win of revenge. The golazos of Ousmane Dembélé, Fermín and Ferran Torres have marked the difference in the marker.
The party had several histories and the trainers knew that they could not risk to his players in a friendly, although yes that bet his respective onces of gala. In the case of Xavi Hernández, changed his drawing to the of four midfield players, an approach that left to Gündogan and Pedri like the nearest players to the zone of attack and that, of moments, gave a lot control and security to the team. They are positive the feelings, especially compared to the defeat in front of the Arsenal, but remains a lot of (more than the account!) For correcting and improve.
The good news is that they have done several changes. The blaugrana went back to be effective in defence, Marc-André ter Stegen went back to be on the same line of always, with a few key interventions, Oriol Romeu began to give 'signals' that it is settling as '5' and, to the hour to add to the attack, the Barça went back to be very dangerous. And it is that before they fulfilled the five minutes, already the crossbar had denied him a goal to the of Ulldecona after a glorious volley. Fortunately, they did not have to expect much more to celebrate the target with which premièred the marker in Dallas, with Xavi Hernández of protagonist.
Goal, injuries and good rhythm in the first part of the Classical
To the chamber of hour, a played tested to unemployed balloon allowed that the Barcelona put 1-0. After a lateral fault, Gündogan played in short so that Pedri González connected of way sensacional with an Ousmane Dembélé that colaba in the area. A latigazo, raso crusader, was sufficient so that the balloon colara in the meshes of Thibaut Courtois. It was a 'hit' for the Madrid, but tried to react immediately after having been benefited with a penalti after a hand -clear- of Ronald Araújo in the area. Vinicius Jr, that took the legacy of Benzema from the eleven metres, erró his launching and commanded it to the crossbar.

The party, that of friendly has not had at all, increased the rhythm and went the Madrid the one who began to have more the balloon and left the feeling that it could equalise the marker anytime. The clearest of the culés arrived in a hand manually of Dembélé that knew to resolve a Courtois that 'began' the war of paradones. Marc-André ter Stegen answered... More times of what had wanted; first saving a finish potentísimo of Rodrygo Goes from direct fault, that forced him to pull and, manually changed, command it was.
The White House went back to step rival area with a finish to the crossbar of Vinicius. The refuse fell him to Dani Carvajal, that finished to empty door but took him out the goal under the line. Afterwards, to the edge of the rest, the guardameta Teutonic went back to take part to save to his. 'Rodry' Was the attendant to finish a centre at first and, to pure reflections, avoided that colara in the goal. The first 45' finished with more intensity of the expected and with three players substituted by annoyances: Christensen,Gündoğan and Ferland Mendy.
Open war in Dallas between Barça and Madrid
With the resumption, unlike what expected , there were not massive changes. A clear example that it was not a friendly any one. The Barça jumped with much more impetus, with Pedri González to charge to carry the reins of the clash. It was marking the rhythm, giving him pause and leaving details of quality that confirm him like the big star of the team. The command did not translate in clear occasions, further of a pass filtered of the '8' that could not finish comfortable 'Lewy'.
Like answer, Carlo Ancelotti, that had 'risked' with the more youngsters, threw of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric to try equalise the marker. They were near, in any case, with a finish of long distance of Tchouameni that crashed in the crossbar, touched in the back of Ter Stegen and left was. Of miracle. The Barça, with the careers and confined of Balde, tried to keep the rhythm, although it was the Madrid the one who more proposed in the second half.
Although it has been a 'simple' friendly and, as it already happened in front of the Arsenal, can not take out conclusions, has been a positive party so that the Barça recover feelings and go 'confirming' several theories. The most positive news and that it can be decisive in this season is how complement Pedri and Gündoğan in the centre of the field or the solvency of Oriol Romeu. It will serve so that Xavi Hernández and company take note, correct and begin to 'despegar' of face to the debut in League, on 13 August against the Getafe.
