Barcelona beat Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey

A moment of instability Barcelona closed with an extraordinary defensive exercise at the stadium Santiago Bernabeu, winner of his second consecutive classic thanks to a serious mistake by Camavinga and the misfortune of Militao when he scored on his own goal, to end (0-1), in the first leg of the semi-final King’s Cup what an unproductive mastery Real Madridno shots at Ter Stegen.

Far from the contemplative vision of derby, on Real Madrid he had a lot of will, but there was a lack of success in the last meters. Contrast with Barcelona that, conditioned by circumstances, low-key pillars such as Pedri, Dembélé and Lewandowski, he did not hesitate to renounce his identity for 90 minutes and adapt to a new one. The supply of paint is of a quality that provides substitutes. Knowing how to adapt to the type of game in which he had to suffer.

He Real Madrid He felt the classic as a golden opportunity to feed the doubt of the eternal enemy in his first moment of instability of the exchange rate. And he went out wanting to prove it. So much so that after a few seconds, Modrić squandered the clearest chance. Surprised to see himself so unmarked, but shoots into the side of the net. The draw of the opposite sides of the final of the Spanish Super Cup.

The madridista’s drive caused another mistake in the release of Barcelona’s ball and introduced a real rhythm in the possession. Intense, combined with quality until he entered the scoring area and left. As Vinicius before the new narrow label Arauja. Without lucidity where the flow of parties usually changes. Inaccurate in the final pass on several occasions which was successful.

Moments of initial supremacy at Real Madrid resulted in the goal being disallowed due to offside Benzema, matched with control and definition the only time in the game. He Barcelona He had a 180-minute match in mind, found no references in the release of the ball, but found an unexpected twist in the script of the game. The first time he entered the area and at the opponent’s goal, he took advantage of Camavinga’s gift at the beginning of the game and struck a shot.

Kessie received the gift, Courtois was matched one-on-one and was lucky to see his shot saved by the keeper, bounce off Militao and graze Nacho and into the net. Initially ruled out for offside, he caused disbelief after the VAR correction. According to Real Madrid again it was his turn to row against the current. He did it already in the Cup against Villarreal and Atletico Madrid.

Ancelotti’s bravery at Anfield, accepting the exchange of blows, turned into suspicion in the classics. figure of Fede Valverde in the trident it enhances the supremacy in the center of the field, but it takes away the figure that creates imbalance related to the right wing as generated by Rodrygo or Asensio. According to Real Madrid he lacked presence in the area. He died in the centers for nothing which strengthened the strength of Koundé and Marcos Alonso, if not the certainty of Ter Stegen. There were no more shots from the poisoned center.

Barcelona were given the opportunity to break the tie on the counterattack. He wasted it between Ferran’s inaccuracies and Raphinha’s one-on-one failure. Gavi wasted the clearest shot in the first act and Ansa Fati was denied the second, in a shot to Kessie’s delight, when Courtois was already beaten.

It would be a reward for Barcelona’s resistance, which limited itself to defense and conceded very little. Carvajal shot into the Madrid sky with a precise pass from Kroos before the break, and attempts by Vinícius and Camavinga at the start of the second half did not find the net.

ARReal Madrid without a net, he overturned, suffocated Barcelona, ​​he did everything well except in the final phase of the game. His prizeless siege had a key factor, the lack of auctioneers. It took Ancelotti 67 minutes to bring on Rodrygo and 84 to make way for a pure ‘9’ like Álvaro Rodríguez. Little given the commitment to the quarry, the continuity at the top of Castilla shows the planning flaws and the failure of the last attempt with Mariana.

They won all the duels Real Madrid. Defensive aids, like those of Busquets the day he became the king of the classics, were from Barcelona. Not even Ter Stegen’s valuable intervention, supported by a defensive effort with the reward of his team-mates. Rodrygo’s long-range shot did not prevent a game without shots on goal that increased Madrid’s impotence in the clásico and strengthened Barcelona, who has the King’s Cup final in his hands.
