This

Barcelona

cannot compete with

Real Madrid either

.

It is much cuter.

Inexperienced.

Incomprehensible on the blackboard.

And also inanimate in duels in which there is nowhere to hide.

Ancelotti's

team

won at the bustling

Camp Nou

with hardly any noise.

And that says very little about

Koeman

, unable to rebel against so much helplessness.

The fear. Damn fear. Carlo Ancelotti said in the preview that you have to be aware of fear. That you always have to keep it in mind. Because it shields us from difficulties. Because it humanizes us in places where defeat and failure are not admissible. Like football.

There was nothing more human than the white technician's lineup. There was no reason to change. Neither against this Barcelona, ​​which perhaps even performed a while above its possibilities. The same people who thrashed Shakhtar played at the beginning, with the old guard (

Casemiro

,

Modric

,

Kroos

) in command,

Rodrygo

and the demon

Vinicius

as

Benzema's

companions

, and

Lucas Vázquez

and

Mendy

on the sides so that

Militao

and

Alaba

they will guard the area. A bureaucratic plan, without crazy things, but efficient.

But if this sport still maintains the ability to thrill us, it is because guys like Vinicius still show up.

Improvisation becomes art.

And each caper, each dribble, is only the preamble to the next madness.

His football is great.

And absurd.

Vinicius, after hitting the ball.EFE

This is what

Mingueza

must have thought

.

Koeman imagined that the canterano, before the emptiness, could come out unscathed.

Of course it was not like that.

Sergiño Dest

, once again extreme, had his head in another place since he failed a clamorous occasion.

While

Eric García

, this time in the right-handed profile, did not know how to help Mingueza to endure such martyrdom.

The first time Vinicius faced with some advantage on the shore, he had only to choose from his wide repertoire. Mingueza stayed behind and, already in the area, ran into the Brazilian. Vinicius fell collapsed. And before the insistent claim of the penalty by the Real Madrid footballers, the referee,

Sánchez Martínez

, wanted to know nothing. Mingueza, just in case, lowered his head and left there as soon as possible.

The classic was in that band. And it was of little use in that first act for Barcelona to offer a correct image. In advanced pressure. In his ability to play in rival field, with the adolescent

Gavi

essential in the containment next to a

very attentive

Busquets

in the cuts. The only thing missing, which was not a little, a greater success in the determining areas.

Ansu Fati

, an exceptional battering ram, couldn't find a way to sneak in. And

Memphis was

missing a good opportunity to push

Lucas

to the limit

.

Although there was no better metaphor for Barça's reality than Sergiño Dest's shot to nothing.

The Dutch did not have more than to accommodate his booty with discretion and accompany the ball to the net.

It was not so.

It showed inside.

Or the horror of what could come to him if he didn't get it right.

Only he knows.

The ball, which does not understand other people's fears, shot upwards.

Ansu Fati tries to leave Lucas Vázquez.EFE

The Camp Nou fans had to stifle the cry.

And to assume that Real Madrid, much more expert in these battles (Modric is 19 years older than Gavi, there is nothing), very sure of how it should manage the times, would not make those mistakes.

The opening goal had to be found in a series of genius. That

David Alaba

has

gotten

used to playing central could be an incongruity given his ability to influence in all corners of the field. But the position does not determine the footballer when he is good. And Alaba is a magnificent player. He stole a ball from the giddy Memphis on the very edge of his area. And he began to run forward without any Barça following him. He opened Vinicius, ready again to dance with Mingueza.

Rodrygo

offered the opportune continuity. And Alaba, whom no one had noticed, had only to pick up the pass and hit the net.

Ter Stegen

could already stretch

, that destiny was more than written.

Barcelona tried to react from episodic plays.

A corner finished by

Piqué

.

An intervention by Alaba against Ansu in the small area.

But the Barça team already showed growing symptoms of despair.

They already know.

The pass to Alba or the center without meaning to the pot.

A panorama before which Ancelotti was delighted, who only had to enlist

Fede Valverde

, later injured, to ensure the afternoon.

Koeman was not surprised.

His management in the face of difficulties is always the same.

He got rid of Mingueza, delayed Dest, entrusted his luck to

Coutinho

and ended up piling up forwards (

Luuk de Jong

and

Agüero

).

Another song of nonsense, no matter how much Kun scored in 97.

Agüero scores the goal for Barcelona at the end of the game.REUTERS

Far from intimidating Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​lacking in strength, could only limit themselves to praying that Real Madrid did not take advantage of their chances.

Vinicius and Benzema, this one twice, were left half with the sentence.

It mattered little.

Lucas caught it in the addition after an intervention by Ter Stegen from

Asensio's

shot

.

Piqué had been kneeling on the other side of the ocean demanding a penalty.

The Camp Nou has become the tragic Comala of Juan Rulfo.

There where there was nothing.

Not even the memory.

Or the pain of absence.

Only the fear of silence.

Real Madrid walked on scorched earth.
