Ansu Fati conquered nothing. Because there was nothing in the immensity of the Camp Nou until his small body, which was not present, filled the void. The boy is 17 years old, but so much has already been written about his earliness that even the caption has stopped making sense. His football surrounds everything. At a time when irrelevance seemed to consume Barcelona's footballers, Ansu controlled and fired. It is the apparently simple maneuvers that distinguish special footballers. The ornament is used to deceive the look. It was enough for him to catch a pass from Junior Firpoafter a tremendous mess in the front, adjusting the leather and the booty before six Getafe players, and finishing right where he should. Under Tarín's legs. A couple of inches from goalkeeper Cuéllar's gloves. A blessing for Barcelona, ​​completely disoriented throughout the night, and that, thanks to that inaugural goal, he found some relief.

The last time Ansu Fati had started in the Barça team was on February 15. At that time, Quique Setién did not know what to do with the striker. Through the wardrobe hierarchies. For the competition. For the risks of carrying the responsibility that some of his classmates did not bear on the backs of a child. But in this League in which only the teams that make their competitiveness will advance, not having Ansu would border on negligence. If Quique Setién did not surpass her, understanding that he must be the one to leave the field after 54 minutes for Luis Suárez to enter . With the party still wide open. Griezmann however remained on the field.

The former Atlético striker, who had to play the center forward again yesterday, caught between the three center-backs arranged by Javier Aguirre , may begin to find it difficult to justify his status in the team. As happened against Mallorca, Griezmann continues without a compass. It only appeared to head high a center of Messi and score at goal in the second act. Although the celebration did not last long. The VAR warned the referee that Semedo had started from an offside position.

It is true, however, that few were the Barcelona footballers who achieved a performance commensurate with their quality and fame. After three months of inaction, all criticism must be put in context. More would be missing. But this football is strictly governed by business codes, especially now that there are no fans or just journalists on the fields to interpret the functions. The latter held at the Camp Nou, unremarkable. And at times unbearable.

It would not be convenient to take any credit from Javier Aguirre. Few day laborers have specialized in survival as much as he has. The Mexican loves to explain that, as a footballer, he was coached by two of the most influential coaches in soccer history, Rinus Michels and César Luis Menotti . «I was a medium-haired player. Technically it was very poor. He was not the most skillful, nor the fastest, nor the strongest, nor the most regular. It didn't stand out for nothing. This is how Aguirre defined himself, who has spent four decades dedicating himself to this. Because he never negotiated blind faith in his possibilities.

He showed it again on his return to the Camp Nou at the head of the bottom team. He ended up expelled when complaining to the referee, true to his legend. Before, he surprised Setién by rescuing his line of five in defense. He tried to make Messi uncomfortable by putting Bustinza on him , who gave up wonderfully until he had no choice but to lower his momentum after hitting the Argentine. So well Aguirre had raised the duel that Leganés put Barcelona on the ropes in a dreamy dawn. Guerrero , who exerted the only point, did not succeed twice. In the first, after Eraso was defeated by fear in the area, it was Lenglet who pulled the ball over the goal line. A sigh later, the same Guerrero hit the ball on the post before the uncoordination of the azulgrana rearguard.

The visitors were not even condemned with Ansu Fati's opening goal. In fact, they finished the match in the Ter Stegen area against a most unremarkable Barcelona.

The azulgrana, for many changes that Setién made (Semedo, Suárez, Arturo Vidal, Riqui Puig and Umtiti entered), would never find a common thread to their game. Riqui Puig , at least, knew how to be incisive. Arthur , Rakitic and Busquets , who were the headlines, already came from insignificance. But nothing improved on the restart. If anything, it was worth continuing to pay attention to the duel to see Messi's outburst that served to settle the victory.

The Argentine began to run and bear the grabs of Rubén Pérez from the midfield, ending up falling before the crossing of Jonathan Silva. The penalty, which had to be approved by the VAR, was used by La Pulga to end a puzzling night. Maybe it's time for that.
