Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Geyoro, Karchaoui and Périsset’s “Little Sister” interview!
A reference match for Barça! A few days before starting their European campaign against Viktoria Plzen, Barcelona won well at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium in Seville (0-3). Despite a very complicated start to the match, the Blaugranas were able to rely on an excellent Ter Stegen, author of very good saves (5th, 18th). The German goalkeeper seems to have regained his level of a few seasons ago, excellent news for the Blaugranas. Xavi’s men hunkered down, and against the run of play opened the scoring in the 21st minute on a lightning counter-attack completed by Raphinha. The Brazilian winger scored his first goal for Barca in La Liga. It was then another attacking rookie from the Catalans that allowed Barcelona to make the break. Well launched by Koundé, Lewandowski achieves a superb sequence of control of the chest volley, to deceive Bounou (36th). This is already his fifth goal in 4 La Liga games.
In the second half, Barça quickly put an end to the suspense of the match by quickly scoring the third goal, through its defender Eric Garcia, on a new offering from Frenchman Jules Koundé (50th). The pace then logically fell, and the opportunities became rarer. Final score 3-0 for Barça who can rely on this match for the rest of the season. The Catalans are second in La Liga, just behind their rivals Real Madrid (12 points for Real, against 10 for Barça). Seville on its side does not succeed, and has only one point in four games. The Andalusians are 17th.
to summarize
A reference match for Barça! A few days before starting their European campaign against Viktoria Plzen, Barcelona won well at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium in Seville (0-3). A good omen for the future.
