ALMOST GREAT GOAL AND PLAYING FOR THE 2-0
Joao Félix recovered his level and vindicated himself against Xavi after another substitution
FC Barcelona is satisfied with Joao Félix's performance in the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup. He started from the bench, but took advantage of the 30 minutes that Xavi Hernández 'gave him' with a very positive performance
The FC Barcelona has 'colado' in a new final and could add his first title of the season 2023/2024. The importatísima victory against the Osasuna (2-0) leaves to the ones of Xavi Hernández with the possibility to play a new Classical against the Real Madrid, like sucedió does a year, after a positive and solid performance in Riad. For the first time, in a few weeks, the team showed a conclusive version and left backwards all the ghosts that have pursued him in the last weeks. And it could be a turning point, if they take advantage of it.
The true is that the clash has had novelties, from the alignment, in which it has gone back to repeat suplencia Joao Félix. Already it had remained in the bench against The Palms, played in Glass of the King in front of the rotations, and in Arabia went back to be surpassed by Ferran Torres that, to day of today, is by in front of him in the plans of the trainer egarense. It was not a surprise that went acting, but yes the impact that had after ingresar to the terrain of game when it was missing half hour for the end of the clash.
Joao Félix, decisive in Saudi Arabia
After the goal of Lewandowski (59') that opened the marker, Joao Félix and Pedri ingresaron to the terrain of game. They gave to the blaugrana a different rhythm and were able to mark the difference. In the case of the Portuguese, signed minutes very positive and tried 'push' to his to to the attack, hhorn the point that had in his boots the 2-0 shortly after the target of the Polish forward and signed the assistance with which Lamine Yamal cleared the party in the injury time.
The footballer of 24 years, very argued in these last weeks, had a very clear approximation, after incorporating in the area and command a finish looking for the long stick. Sergio Herrera took out a hand to clear the shot, in an intervention milagrosa. Joao Saw with a lot of soltura, precision and impetus, without leaving to look for occasions for colarse in the area, and showed it with a played key in the discount. It went in driving until the small area and found to Lamine so that it sentenced the victory.
New opportunity for Joao?
They have been minutes very positive for a Joao Félix that came being criticised in the last weeks by his irregular performance and inability to mark differences. It had been 'directly' signalled with his change, to the rest, against the Almería and suplencia against The Palms, in addition to his replacement against the Barbastro, but the version that has showed in Riad, in front of the Osasuna, has been entirely distinct. With the absence of Raphinha, lesionado, can have a new opportunity.
