Goodbye ''Invicto''
It took time, but finally it arrived, the first defeat of the Futbol Club Barcelona in LaLiga Santander took place on the least thought-out stage and in the least thoughtful way. The afternoon of Sunday will be historic for the Ciutat de Valencia and the Granota fans that attended him, as they were VIP spectators of a game that did not lack anything, full of twists and turns, good game and above all of goals, and no one expected to witness 9 goals, and much less that most of them were from a brave and accurate Levante, which made every possession of the ball a headache to his rival, with the electrifying contras of Boateng, Roger, Morales and Bardhi the Barça defense was shattered and the arch of Ter Stegen trembled.
At times played to appreciate the screen and recognize that the set that was uniformed Barca and advantage was the Levante and not Barcelona, who saw how he lost his undefeated after 43 games and 37 days League. And boy did I get the breed at the end, I got to be down 5-1 !! In the stands the local fans made little hands, on the bench Paco López smiled like a child who receives the gift he asked San Nicolás and the players of the Champion did not understand what was happening. A successful face to the goal Coutinho and Luis Suarez shortened distances to a goal, but it was not enough, the night gave a deserved reward to the locals, who after a great last stretch of the season in which they managed to tie the salvation, now see as They take away the much-desired unbeaten Champion.
Now, this defeat will bring tagline to Barça, now more than ever the thermometer of its season passes through Kiev, if Real Madrid Champions Champion is not enough a double to place the checklist to the season azulgrana. Mina (who by the way comes out very criticized after the game of yesterday), Denis, Alcacer, Aleix Vidal, Digne and Andrés Gomes see how their operation output takes more strength than ever, and the Ciudad Condal is prepared for all the rumors of transfers to this summer, which will undoubtedly be the most moved in recent years for Can Barça. Griezmann? Arthur? Kluivert? Weigl? For the first time two titles knew so little, and yes, next year will not be that Iniesta in the Camp Nou. Goodbye Don Andrés, hello summer of novels and rumors.
They should have gone all out for the win here, especially with a record up for grabs. I don't know why they would rest players, not like they are still in Europe or anything.
Hi @scotty84. I differ in some aspects, if we take a look there were the headlines, except for Messi, who is a crack, but the coutinho, Suarez, Dembele (which cost $ 105 million that can even be $ 140 million), Rakitic, Busquets , Iniesta, in other words, played the luxury team, except for Messi and the two defensive centrals, and yet Pique entered the game and even with him on the court each attack of the Levante was a goal opportunity. I believe that they failed in the attitude, they saw in their tie in the classic undefeated confirmed, left confident yesterday and lost a nice opportunity to make history. We will see what happens. Greetings Scotty.
Hi @jesusrosales I appreciate that the changes weren't that big in the grans scheme of things, and yes they should have had enough to win the game regardless. I suppose my point was that if you are going for that kind of record, then you should do absolutely everything in your power to achieve it, and that includes playing your best player. However, I agree that the attitude was wrong. This goes to show that even the best players in the world are only human. And it makes me appreciate them more in some ways, as it shows just how good they are when they make things look easy.
totally successful my dear friend, is the beauty of football, small details generate great stories.
