The Champions knockout
Well, finally ended yesterday as it was given. In an intense match, Barca and Madrid tied at one and the Catalans certifying their place in the Wembley final. It was a tie that has been played 14 days from Holy Wednesday in which he played the Cup final. Right after that meeting, no time to celebrate or lament, both groups began a battle being waged inside and outside the pitch, which has been pretty pathetic on both sides. We begin with the analysis.
leg: Real Madrid 0 - FC Barcelona 2
It was definitely the most disappointing match of the series. Very afraid of entry on both sides. Mourinho had been dropped in after a 0-0 result was not bad to go to Barcelona, \u200b\u200bso the team took an approach identical to the first game of the four, the league, with one exception: the Madrid had no reference above, as Ozil played as midfielder Cristiano somewhat skewed and showed himself from time to time by the center of attack merengue. Guardiola, meanwhile, realized that their problems had been games behind the hole left by his side to go up, which made the front of Madrid did very little damage possession. Alves did not rise, and Puyol, who played on the other side, no not even made any attempt at it. As a result, Madrid did not even have a single opportunity that was not set pieces and Barca had the ball more than ever, as Piqué and Mascherano did not have to go even once to cover the bands and could hit the ball out peacefully.
On behalf Blaugrana, the thing was not to shoot rockets. Villa set to Peter and most bands and they switched sides, I imagine that Marcelo can not be looking up so cheerfully. In this way, the club only had a good time by Xavi in \u200b\u200ba good combination with Messi, and a shot from outside the area of \u200b\u200bVilla after a nice cut. The Catalans dominated pleasure, but it seemed like a great ship, as if I had that feeling during the first 30 minutes of the second part of the cup final. Personally, I did not like the approach of Madrid.
After the break, Madrid moved tab. Brought forward Adebayor and pressure lines 25 meters. The mere fact of having a fixed mark up Barca complicated existence. And did not draw the ball easily and as a result of a loss, Christian was about to open the scoring in the best chance of Madrid. Barca was stunned, unable to connect to the midfield. We had time to know how much gasoline would have lasted at Madrid, not even if Mourinho actually had a plan to go for the game. At 15 minutes, in a controversial play, Pepe was sent off and the match was over. Mou was unable to find any solution, the Madrid and Barca recoiled sentenced Messi scored twice, the second sublime.
leg: FC Barcelona 1 - Real Madrid 1
As to Madrid was left with little to go for the match, Mourinho forgot trivote, which undoubtedly was the most significant change from the tactical point of view with respect to that seen in previous games. He fetched up at Barca and, really, it's complicated life. Barca could not move the ball well during the first minutes and only one in recent arreón 15 minutes of the first part (in which Casillas made some of his miracles) came close to opening the scoring. The best chance of Madrid was a very well run against after a great pass from Xabi Alonso in which Cristiano lacked a little accuracy in the final pass. Guardiola had raised the game normally. Puyol was further back without going up and Alves enjoyed greater freedom than in the previous game.
After the break, Madrid took everything I had. Marked, but in a new controversial decision, the referee felt he had been a lack of Christian on Mascherano. Almost seamlessly, a genius Pedro Iniesta left only with Casillas and the Canary opened the scoring. The mother attempted Ozil Adebayor and managed to tie the game but was not strong enough to win. I still think that ended more whole than the club, but the Blaugrana back had the ball more and that, at this stage of the season weighed.
Incidents
I do not like the coaches after the cup final. Guardiola was very bad manners and little style to their statements in the days before the Champions League match. Fabian says my friend was not a result of power. Maybe. But I do not I can avoid thinking about Del Bosque. He certainly never would have left the pitch. Mourinho can expect one and all. I liked neither the press conference before the Champions League game or the antics of later.
Thriller players who scratched the violence of Madrid and Barcelona storytellers. Neither one nor the other is football. All the fuss that is mounted on the first match of Champions is a pretense of Peter in a collision with Arbeloa. In all embarrassed. Lo Arbeloa, Marcelo Alves, Busquets and Pedro in the series, is to let them look hard. Again I do not want to talk about referees, but downloading say that the players have gotten really hard. Pepe did not get in the sack, because I think this series has played so hard that you have left, but has not set foot in, spitting, racist insults or cause unlike simulated falls.
of the two directives also worth the day after the first match of Champions. Instead of suppressing improper conduct of players and coaches of the institutions they represent, they devoted themselves to the healthy exercise of "to see who pees farther" so accustomed that we have politicians.
The aftertaste
The feeling I is that this tie is decided at the Bernabeu. Maybe it's just a temporary mental and physical matter, but the distances Madrid - Barcelona have been cut a lot. You can also, in any case, that they were not those of 5-0 last November. The numbers do not lie and in 4 games, the overall result was 3 - 4 for Barcelona. Of those 4 goals, 3 have been when Madrid played with 10 players. The club has swept the ball possession, shots on goal but the goalkeeper and stops, has been almost a dead heat.
surprising how little self-criticism of one another. Real Madrid do not hide that I am, so I still continued crying we surprised by arbitration. I played soccer for 20 years and I've been coaching for 10 children. I have never known a referee who has wanted to do things wrong. Sometimes you give and others take away and complaints in Madrid have always been private. The main problem of the white club has been his poor first match of Champions League and have lost fall with Sporting and Zaragoza at home and not being able to win in the field of Mallorca, Valencia, Deportivo and Almeria not by the arbitrators.
And we surprised little self-criticism also from Barcelona. Was the referee Undiano Day 2-6 en el Bernabéu y hubo quién le cuestionó el fuera de juego de Pedro en el gol anulado en la final. Perdieron la copa por sus propios errores, no por el arbitraje. El equipo ha pagado tener una plantilla cortísima, cuestión que podía haber solventado Guardiola dando minutos a lo largo de la temporada a los canteranos, los mismos que se están saliendo en segunda división, para que pudieran afrontar partidos importantes. El Madrid ha perdido esta temporada un mes a Cristiano y casi 6 a Higuain. El Barça, pese a la plaga de problemas en la zaga, puede decirse que ha tenido suerte.
Imagino que unos y otros, cuando se enfríe el ambiente, reflexionarán al respecto. Los Real players will surely be touched by the deletion, but think they are very close to Barcelona. The Barca think that not being physically ill, have been with them, reaffirm them in their sense of hierarchy in English football. Tremendous next season, and nothing less, we were released with two other classics of Spain Supercup. Again, not suitable for heart disease.
