Zidane looked over the cliff and then pronounced Vinicius's name. Valuing the decision after the result is an advantage. The only thing is that it was the fairest, because the Brazilian has the passion that Bale does not show, the will to play every action as if it were the last time. It is the best thing that this depleted attack of Madrid has, like a decimated squad that is preparing to take a hill in inferiority because it drives something that cannot be measured. At 20, Vinicius has it and infects it, facing himself over and over again. In each attack he runs like a desperate while an ending that dreams but does not always find despair. Until yesterday. This football player has something of a literary character that goes ahead of his heart. It will be better over time, sure, and it will be in a Madrid that does not need to throw it to the precipice on each play. Last night he did it, in a classic, and something much more than alive came out. He made it sanctified. [Narration and statistics: 2-0]

He finished as the Brazilian began until he found a goal accompanied by the fortune he had said so many times not. Piqué, among the best of Barcelona, ​​was wrong in favor of his way to glory. Vinicius would be for Madrid after Courtois supported him and the white team found the longed for vertigo, which best defines it, to shake off the dominance of a Barça that is not what it was and that did not have the Messi that it is. The leadership is, today, white.

As it happened against the City, the soccer players of Madrid understood the message that carried the alignment of Vinicius and they looked for it again and again. Zidane had redoubled the pepper on the left with the inclusion of Marcelo, instead of Mendy, a more defensive alternative. He wanted to provoke chaos on the left with two unclassifiable soccer players, but, perhaps, there were more opportunities in the opposite lane, due to Setién's decision, which took Jordi Alba off the stretcher and put him on the field. Reduced the side, the explanation can only be that the Cantabrian does not trust the alternative, Junior Firpo. Valverde won almost all the Catalan duels, but without productivity later. Getting to the area was like doing it in a vacuum, to the great black hole of the Bernabéu. It was not news. Benzema's good game, one more, had no one to accompany him. Cristiano knew it well, in the box. In a few seconds, Mariano achieved the second goal. Things you see.

Zidane knew these difficulties well, so the chances would be greater if he stole near the Ter Stegen area, with very high pressure, and in two touches he achieved goal situations. That is why he sent his people to press aggressively initially. Setién negotiates fewer balls than the Guardiola himself, as the City showed on Wednesday, and this caused certain indecisions at the start of the Barça play, not very precise for some time now. If anything, some shipment of the goalkeeper in search of Arturo Vidal, a player who seems to be against the coach's style, but always appears in his lineups. It has not happened only to Setién with the Chilean. What Vidal gives all coaches want.

The work of Madrid was the one indicated but the scarcely productive fruit, a fact that allowed Barcelona to recover and dominate the game clearly in the equator of the first half, supported by Arthur, Busquets and De Jong, and the rear by Piqué. A step forward, Griezmann moved like a chasm, although always aware of Messi, less threatening than usual. The Frenchman found space for the first occasion, but threw high.

Presented for the counter, the exchange of blows could be lethal for Madrid if it had not been for its goalkeeper. Courtois stopped two balls to Messi, the second tremendous, and won a hand in hand to Arthur. He needed rest and, really, he took advantage of it, because he came back and managed to snatch Barcelona not only the ball, but the initiative and intensity.

A shot by Isco drew Ter Stegen's flight and the occasion, unknown until then, was like a puncture on the Bernabéu's nervous system. Vinicius was riding again and Piqué, always on duty, took another bitten shot from Isco on the line, very active in the media. On the second, he could no longer. Barcelona broke down, inert to the pressure, barely threatened and eventually fell with the tip of a junior, Mariano.
