The last dance of Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba

He Barcelona said goodbye this sunday Camp Nou and he did it with style. The Barcelona team played a perfect game and won 3:0 Majorca in a game marked by an early ejection of Amath and a wake-up call Ansu Fati. 10 was a great protagonist in the sport with two goals that doomed the clash and that gave way to farewell to two legends like Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, two fundamental footballers in the last decade culé and who will not be in the stadium next season Luis Companys.

Nostalgia and illusion. Those were the two sensations that floated in the atmosphere this Sunday at Camp Nou. Barça temporarily said goodbye to their home and with an unbeatable atmosphere. This was followed by a short walk with the trophies won in that stadium, a mosaic of welcome and two legends like Busquets and Jordi Alba who said goodbye as starters. All the ingredients were in the pot in which the past, the present and the future will soon be boiled in a move that in itself was a change of generations, a hymn to the future that is in good hands. And that is that Busquets broke through the lines in the first minute of the game to allow Lewandowski and the Pole to cross Gavi run so that the young pearl culé assisted Anso Fati and he started Barca’s game scoring at will.

By then the party was complete and even Mallorca wanted to join in the wild entry Amath about Balde, which cost him a red card and served as the starting point for the first half, which will be played downhill and without brakes towards the goal Greif, ready for a likely storm that finally didn’t happen. And it is true that Barça played on idle, but that was more than enough to dominate the game, dooming the contest with another goal from Ansu Fati after triangulating with Frenkie de Jong and Lewandowski and even three clear opportunities that were sometimes disrupted by Greif, and others were sent into uncertainty by the lack of a goal.

After the restart, chances continued to flow in the Mallorca goal. Barça expanded the field of play and Jordi Alba, omnipresent in the left lane, began to be more of a protagonist. From his boots came a cross that Koundé sent onto the crossbar, another that Lewandowski narrowly sent over the goal and a play that Dembélé culminated and Valjent disrupted on the goal line. They were warnings before Gavi came back and lifted the Camp Nou with his left-footed boot from the front, which was a no-brainer for Greif, who looked resignedly at the 3-0 scoreline, with no bodies for the players. With all the fish sold, he went to the recognition round. Jordi Alba retired in tears, and Busquets with a smile from ear to ear. Two different ways to say goodbye to the club of their lives, two legends who received their last ovations from the Camp Nou which will be closed for some time due to renovations.
