Narration: This is how we live the game
Group G. Classification
His crazy air makes football a special ceremony.
A striker scores three goals without hiding his guilty gesture.
All of them are canceled because he was offside (Morata, five disappointments in four games).
A president says one Monday that he does not resign with a smile from ear to ear.
But he does it the next day and goes to sea.
Bartomeu.
A tormented soccer player twists his ankle.
Cut with the grace of a genius and score with the right because it bounces off the opponent's foot.
Dembélé.
All this in a city, Turin, which already in its day saw how in the old Comunale a Scotsman with a soulless body earned the memory by scoring with his ear.
Archibald.
Isn't it wonderful?
[Narration and statistics: 0-2]
There is the temptation to start the story with which the first day of the self-crucifixion of Josep Maria Bartomeu brought the first triumph in the history of Barcelona in Turin.
It does not seem a small thing, being the capital of Piedmont one of those cities in which the Barça team came out viciously beaten (3-0) in that descent into hell culminating with the 2-8 in Lisbon.
It is because this Barça de Koeman can finally change the trend.
It may be because Pirlo's Juventus is still too tender to compete without the intimidating presence of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Does not matter.
The great Barcelona triumph allows the club to shed, who knows how long, its straitjacket.
And that Barcelona continues to drag the particular heritage left by its former president.
The same one that allowed the team to survive - at least until January - with three centrals from the first team, and Umtiti locked up in the infirmary.
Without the sanctioned Piqué, and injured the young Araujo after a good first act, who had to end up acting as a center-back next to Lenglet was De Jong.
Another of the pieces that Bartomeu left as a legacy was Pjanic, exchanged for Arthur after fattening his prices with clenbuterol.
The Brazilian was a substitute.
Not so the Bosnian, always bordering in his actions.
It was Pjanic who claimed all the attention at the very dawn.
He tried the shot from outside the area.
And without time for a new sigh, he had already yielded a ball to Griezmann, which he, improved on his return to ownership as a striker, finished off the post.
Then Pjanic began to lose balls and for a good stretch he even missed the twilight version of Busquets again.
Morata, after scoring one of the goals that was canceled.
But before Morata began his usual martyrdom in the area, Barcelona, consisting of defense, disciplined but again ineffective in attack, had already found its unexpected hero.
Messi could play all his life locked in a tile.
Without moving from there.
His change of game at the foot of Dembélé had the effect of Moses opening the waters of the Red Sea.
And there the French winger was able to do what he likes so much.
Challenge the ridiculous to earn glory.
Defeated Danilo, Chiesa also sank with Dembélé's last cut.
He never shoots without that last trick.
The strike against the rival caused an indecipherable parable for Szczesny.
In stumbling blocks, despite the Bianconeri never giving the impression of still knowing what to do with Pirlo's libretto, Neto found himself stalked.
In episodic actions, true.
And with Morata, once again, corrupting the offside rules.
As if they weren't with him.
They annulled him up to three times the 1-1, the last of them at the beginning of the second half.
Barcelona, far superior to Juventus throughout the game, was nevertheless driven to Russian roulette by the bad luck of the attackers in the transitions, almost always thrown from the throat of the field by Messi.
The Argentine had the sentence in his boots.
Also Griezmann, whose cross shot wooed the stick.
Turkish central Demiral saw the second yellow when the game was already collapsing.
Ansu forced a penalty in 90 for Messi to settle, with his team as the outstanding group leader of the Champions League with two victories.
And Barcelona, as if it had suddenly entered the Garden of Delights of Bosco, finally enjoyed the always fleeting pleasure of the sinful.
From the pleasure of being liberated.
