Football El Clásico in Las Vegas: Barça is enough with a blow from Raphinha to beat Real Madrid
Moise Kean
frustrated what could have been the great night of
Ousmane Dembélé
.
The Frenchman, with two high-voltage personal actions, put Barça ahead twice in Dallas, but only to see how
the Juventus
striker was in charge of giving them the appropriate response.
In the end, the azulgrana and
the
Vecchia Signora
they signed a draw in a match in which Xavi opted for a hitherto unprecedented trident, made up of the
Mosquito
and
Aubameyang
on the wings and with
Lewandowski
at the top.
For now, despite his delivery,
the Pole does not hit the key
to inaugurate his scoring account as a Barcelona player.
The goal, sometimes capricious, turns his back on him.
But, before
someone with his talent
, everything invites us to think that reconciliation is only a matter of time.
Barça
began the
duel by putting unspeakable pressure on Juventus.
During the first quarter of an hour, he barely allowed the Italians to leave his half of the field.
Only
Di María
, with the whip, seemed capable of bringing some danger to Ter Stegen's area,
while Dembélé
and a willful but again goalless
Lewandowski and Aubameyang
, forming an unprecedented trident, began to try their luck against Szczesny.
La
Vecchia Signora
, after those initial moments, began to stretch their lines and took control of the game.
That would be, however, only the prologue to
the great
Mosquito
exhibition .
After half an hour,
his first sting arrived
.
In a personal action, starting from the band, as he likes the most, he ended up going into the area and
crashed his shot into the net
to make it 1-0 on the scoreboard.
Moise Kean, after a good cross from Cuadrado in an apparently comfortable arrival from Juve,
five minutes later
, put a more than ephemeral 1-1 in the light.
Because
Dembélé
, again, as soon as Barça took the center, and with another personal action, he planted himself in the rival area after getting rid of the Colombian,
dribbled past Bonucci
and took a powerful cross shot out of his hat with which he beat again to
Szczesny
to establish, just five minutes from the regulatory end of the first half,
the 2-1
with which the clash was planted at half-time.
The
Barcelona advantage
, however, would not last too long.
Moise Kean, after a good play by Juventus started again by
Di María
and taking advantage of a joint mistake by Christensen and Eric García, put the final 2-2 on the scoreboard after just seven minutes had been played.
Second part
The game, with the usual string of changes on both sides,
lost some rhythm
compared to what was seen in the first 45 minutes.
Piqué, again, was booed every time he touched the ball by an audience that, no matter how Barcelona-loving he feels, does not forgive him
for his relationship crisis with Shakira
.
In fact, the name of the Colombian singer was even chanted by the stands.
Lewandowski
, who had a few minutes compared to last Sunday's classic, had a couple of good options to
put Barça ahead again
, but his shots were lost in both cases over the crossbar.
At the moment, the goal resists him, no matter how much will he puts into it.
The crosshead, after
a free-kick from Raphinha
and a touch of quality from Ansu Fati, and Mattia Perin, relieved in the goal of Szczesny, with a couple of good interventions to
two attempts by Gavi
, in a final stretch of the game in the that the azulgrana once again poured hard into the rival area, they were in charge of frustrating
Barcelona's attempts
to once again decide the score in their favor.
His
third game in the United States
ended in a draw.
The next morning from Saturday to Sunday, against the
New York Red Bulls
, in the Big Apple, they will end their tour of the United States.
