Barca threw a lot of sweat for a gray win

A leader in Primera Barcelona beat 2-0 hard when visiting Aubar in a 24th round match played at almost continuous rain at Ippuura stadium.

In the 66th, Fabian Oreyana was expelled for an incessant reaction. "Blaugrana" made a lot of mistakes, and in an assault, they acted quite impassively. In the end, Barca won three points and breathed more calmly before the first Chelsea battle in the Champions League.

Despite the upcoming London match, Ernesto Valverde bets on what he thinks is the usual title without underestimating his rival. Luis Suarez led the attack, supported by Lionel Messi in a 4-4-1-1 lead. Philippe Coutinho remained in reserve, and Paulineux entered Andres Iniesta.

Luis Suarez slipped to the edge of the ambush, overtook the goalkeeper, but saw no chance of shooting and back to Jordi Alba, whose shot was blocked.

Within the same minute, José Luis Mendilibar's boys organized a speeding attack that ended with a powerful shot over Fabian Oreyana's beam. A minute later, Kicking Garcia got to the right, pocketed Pique and fired at the near corner - Marc-André ter Stegen was in place and screaming. In the 12th Ivan Ramis won the air duel at the fourth corner before the door of the German. After his blow, the ball went into the keeper's arms.

In the 23rd Pique delayed in the penalty area and risked the ball being taken away by Takashi Inui. Seconds later, Oreyana collided with Samuel Yumtiti but did not get a penalty despite the demands. The hosts continued to build the more dangerous attacks in the game. Valverde's composition was too distraught in both phases of the game. Thus in the 32nd Messi mistaken for the touch, the Basques took advantage of the empty space and in two seconds Kicking Garcia with a ball in the legs in the penalty area, "burns" and shoots off the beam.

In the 80th Messi and Coutinho made a double shot, the Argentine attempted a transfer but the goalkeeper had shortened the distance and saved. In the offensive, Inuy shook the land in the hands of Ter Stegen. Two minutes later, the Japanese midfielder received a small corner shot from the corner but was blocked.
