Football is a sport invented by the English and in which Real Madrid almost always wins although listening to Xavi it seems otherwise. The Barcelona coach He spoke of heads or tails, of a rival thrown back, of merits, of offensive responsibilities, of errors and details that cost the match as if Luuk de Jong scored Maradona’s goal or Ansu Fati was Iván Zamorano in the header.
It is understandable that Xavi, the only thing that has changed to date is the squad list, clings to anything in order to send out a positive message that allows improve the group.
The point is that a vulgar Madrid, worse than the one that lost to the almighty Sheriff It continued to be more than this Barcelona already with Pedri, Ferran and Ansu although in a minimal version and victim of the dictatorship of a style that Iniesta and Xavi himself sublimated but that yesterday was again a hemorrhage that not even an imperial Araujo could suture. Valverde’s goal comes in a counterattack that starts in midfield and ends with six Madrid players in the area for just three from Barcelona accompanying Ter Stegen.
The fact is that on Sunday Madrid will play a new final. Ancelotti will take a couple of sticks, I’ll give him the first, for the changes and his undisguised Italian gene that throw the team back as soon as possible but at least we are left with the word that sums up the match according to Xavi: growth. We’ll see if enough enough to win a Clásico again after the last five attempts.
