Negreira case Barcelona: two decades of sporting success between courts, prisons and revenge
Real Madrid The white club decides to appear in the 'Negreira Case'
Barça defends itself on the field and in the League.
Perhaps there is no other place where I can do it.
He won in San Mamés because he survived like no one else, because he had all the gods -and Ter Stegen- on his side, and because where his forces did not arrive, technology did.
Referee
Gil Manzano validated
Raphinha
's winning goal
after annulling it -a foot from
Balenziaga enabled the Brazilian-, and cut off
Iñaki Williams
' equalizer
in the same twilight after the VAR noticed a previous hand from
Muniain
in the origin of the action.
The marimorena was armed.
Barcelona footballers have to continue playing football no matter how much the tide of the
Negreira case
threatens to wash it all away.
You just have to see how
Gavi
and
Ter Stegen
put their heads and hands in the coals.
The confetti has been replaced by fake bills, because the real ones never belonged to the fans.
And while the president
Joan Laporta
delivers messages that one can only pronounce looking at the sky - "we will give ourselves every last drop of blood to defend the honor of Barça" -, the team goes about its business.
It takes cover in the League with 1-0 and 0-1 by flag, even in now hostile places like San Mamés.
Barcelona repeated its problems with the construction of the game, no matter how much Gavi and
De Jong
tried to offer continuity and sanity.
Although the difficulties to come out from behind and find the free man were more than evident.
Lewandowski
was involved in the organizational task, but failed exactly what is demanded of him, precision and finishing.
He provided the Pole with a great option after a pass from De Jong that came to nothing due to poor control.
Athletic, despite the fact that
Ernesto Valverde
erred in the main ideas with which he tried to hurt Barcelona -
Nico Williams
did not feel comfortable on the left despite being defended by
Sergi Roberto
, and
Raúl García
only intimidates when the ball goes down the air-, he recovered in style in the final stretch at Muniain's bugle call.
Barcelona only found relief after another agonizing exercise in which Athletic shot twice at the posts, and after seeing how Ter Stegen,
Koundé
and
Marcos Alonso
put their chests out before the final shootout.
Barça will receive Real Madrid next Sunday with their soul tied to leadership.
And with his old cutlery ally nine points away.
