Tachycardia Agüero leaves the Camp Nou by ambulance in the middle of the game
Narration This is how we live the game
LaLiga Ranking
Soccer tends to be transparent. Already on the pyre
Ronald Koeman
, and waiting for
Xavi Hernández to
leave Qatar to become something like a Messiah,
Barcelona
continues to hang around with what it has. You know, a handful of teenagers, and also a few veterans who barely respond anymore. The revolution of the interim
Sergi Barjuan
was not such, and
Alavés
did not have more than to be an orderly team to start a draw at the Camp Nou in his only shot between sticks.
Sergi was always accompanied by the extreme contradiction. He loved Barça like few others, a team of which he ended up being captain. But at the Camp Nou they ended up making fun of him when he stopped running as he used to. The left foot should be his hallmark, but a good part of his goals, almost all of them great, were born on the right. Sergi, who always believed he was in the right place, but at the most inopportune moment, also had the night that all footballers dream of. In Eindhoven, in the UEFA quarterfinals. Again the contradiction. Although tiny, he flew to steal a ball with his head. He toured the entire field. He ran into goalkeeper
Waterreus
. He overcame. Cut out
Numan
.
And he scored.
And he felt like a hero.
But that Barça from the 1995-96 season, like this one, was already hitting rock bottom despite the Quinta del Mini looming.
In ten days he lost all three titles.
And two months after that Sergi goal,
Johan Cruyff
was fired by former president
Núñez
after his discussion with
Joan Gaspart
.
Few changes
It was never easy to assume the end of an era.
And Sergi, aware that he is only passing through, left the problem of the revolution for someone else.
His first starting eleven could have been signed by Koeman.
Nine of the footballers who lined up from the beginning in the Vallecas disaster reappeared from the beginning.
The only two changes were almost forced.
Mingueza
occupied the side due to
Sergi Roberto's
injury
, and
Gavi
occupied the left interior after
Coutinho's
tremendous performance
against Rayo.
As for the board, the 4-3-3.
But of the promise made by Barjuan on the eve, - "I will try to bring joy back" -, there was no trace.
Normal.
It did not take much for
Javi Calleja's
Alavés to
control a Barcelona that, at least in the first minutes of the game, brought out a certain dynamism thanks to
Nico González
and Gavi's
constant search for spaces
from the inside. But approaches were still rare. A header by
Eric García
at the exit of a corner was rejected by
Sivera
. Barça no longer disturbed him until the prelude to rest. It was
Memphis
, who was in all of them, who began to rehearse the shots.
In the absence of continuity in the game, that Camp Nou in which the fans have resigned (37,278 spectators) had to be interested in accidents.
Calleja switched to the right side due to
Ximo Navarro's
injury
.
And Sergi saw with concern how
Kun Agüero
had to withdraw.
The striker, puzzled and staring, put his hand to his chest on the way to the infirmary.
Coutinho was his substitute.

This Barcelona is so unreliable that it didn't even catch the good wave at the start of the second half.
Memphis, in full nirvana, chased away demons with a thread from the vertex to the net.
The advantage lasted three minutes.
What it took
Rioja
and
Joselu
to reveal
Busquets
and
Piqué
on the front.
Rioja entered the area with his hands in his pockets to disorient
Ter Stegen
and catch the tie.
Barça did not want to sit idly by, and found in Nico and Gavi's competitive desire reasons to believe.
It was Gavi who assisted Memphis in an action that the Dutchman was one inch away from culminating.
He stung the ball, but the stick was an impassable border.
Riqui Puig
had his minutes.
Balde
and newcomer
Abde
asked for the time.
Good luck entrusts children who have nothing to do with what is happening.
And there was no way.
The disaster is not corrected in two days.
