Dos sparks of the Argentinean, in collaboration with a fragile Abbiati, praise/pour off the balance in favor of a Barça that knew to dictate tempo

No longer it understands of gallons. Or rather, he imposes his. Leo Messi returned to be determining in the triumph of the Barça on the Athletic one, that in addition to the grace state of the Argentinean, it had to make in front of the exacerbada fragility of its defense and the imprecisiones of Abbiati. In only four minutes, Messi eliminated to the equipment rojiblanco. Those of Aguirre left emptiness of the Camp Nou before a well constructed Barça from their foundations and that rise to steps agigantados.

However, the first section of the shock passed against natura. Far from the initial monólogo the one that accustoms, Barcelona yielded the ball and protagonism to the Athletic one, that it offered pretty sparkles until an unfortunate action of Abbiati to the edge of the quarter of hour. All the athletic exposition became trizas at the moment in which Messi gathered a ball stuck to the lime of the right band. The Argentinean dribló to his defender, centered with power and its service landed on the angelical hands of Abbiati, that left to the goal at the mercy of Deco.

From that moment, the party returned to its more logical channel. The Barça demanded its dominion, elaborated with the precision of a Swiss clock its game and resolved the timid rojiblancos approaches with a forceful defense. Puyol and Milito were unconquerable in the rear. The attempts of Omen, Simao and Forlán crashed against the solid wall of those of Rijkaard, that also removed to shine their offensive arsenal. Henry, always elegant, proved with a crossed firing that left off the track. Still the French must sharpen the front sight. But shortly after, its better ally, Messi, pulverized the hopes of the Athletic one with a play marks of the house. The Flea divided this time from the left vertex, drew up a lethal wall with Ronaldinho and beat to Abbiati with zurdazo fit to the post contrario.

The second as much of the Barça noqueó to its rival, who since then staggered on the rug of the azulgrana coliseo. With the exception of a indefinición of Oleguer before Omen that fell in the limb, the final straight line of first half corroborated the growth of the equipment of Rijkaard. Ronaldinho, very participativo, returned to try it. The Brazilian correctly did not define a good cession of Deco in goal mouth, but to three minutes of the rest, the 10 could make up for with happens perforated directed to Messi. In one of the most aesthetic actions of the encounter, Leo controlled with subtility the ball, lowered it level with turf, trimmed before the meteoric arrival of Pernía and cannonaded to Abbiati, that this time yes, took part with acierto.

El Barça dictates tempo
In spite of the attempts of the Barça to sleep the fight, the Athletic one presented/displayed one lasts opposition in second half. Absentees Agüero and Forlán, their maximum offensive exponents, were Maxi who assumed the colchonera insurgency. The Argentinean could trim distances with a missile that ran into with the providenciales hands of Victor Valdés, once again rescuing. Obstinate to the hurt pride of his companion, Luis Garcia also enjoyed a good opportunity, but its petroleum jelly left slightly off the track. Aborted the resistance of its opponent, Barcelona finished sestear the shock and introduced a change of rate with two splendid plays in which Deco and Henry could kill partido.

In the final straight line, Ronaldinho and Henry left the turf between the vítores of the fans. Giovanni and Bojan, hungry of goal, took the witness. The Athletic one, to his. The sterile attacks of the men of Aguirre were lost time and time again in the middle of the thickness that surrounded the epilogue. While, Messi could by hand clear the result in a hand with Abbiati, but minutes later, Xavi thundered against to the Italian goal after a great attendance of Giovani. The Barça, dictating tempo, imposing its law to the slow motion, a priori solved an appointment poisoned by the presence of Omen. The Kun did not appear. Messi yes.
