Lamine Yamal He wore a new diva color hairstyle. A way of saying that it did not intend to go unnoticed in the capital event of The Cartuja. And not only in the field of aesthetic and frivolous. Tremendous security at 17 years and 10 months. Namely where it comes from. Like that day he said that goals are saved for important matches. For once the striker now rubio He did not fulfill his purpose. He didn't mark, true. And the assists? Sometimes, like this Saturday, they are worth almost the same. Or more. He gave two jewels. No a Koundéthat the role of hero was worked alone when no one had forces. He is the footballer who never tires.

Before the game Hansi Flick He explained to the Movistar+ microphones that gave his players a Cruyffista message. That they have done very well so far, that they play as they know and that everything would go well. “Have fun and enjoy it”he concluded. Yes, that of fun and enjoy. One would say that, rather than having a pipe, they suffered as in a walk without footwear on crystals. Surely the neutral spectator had a good time. The rest? In football, fun and torture they often go hand in hand.
Lamine He started having fun in the hairdresser and continued on the grass. Apparently he wanted to dye his hair white, but something failed. Until the 6th minute he did not touch the first ball. Innocuously. The second, in 8 with a bad pass. A few seconds later he lost his scoreboard for injury, to Mendyand entered Fran García. He won with the exchange.
It was activated from there. Culebreó without consequence in the 13th minute and in 18 he tested his boot with a satin shot from outside the area. The substantial happened a while later. With the long pass of Pedrithe control, serene access in the area and the pass back for the canary, which shot Courtois With that right leg with which, it was not so long ago, it was said that he did not dare. Rubio's number 23 assistance. Goal number 6 Pedri. First of Barça in the final.
Szczesny, Vital
It is not known if a goalkeeper is able to have fun when the rival team comes in Manada. Did you enjoy Szczesny When Madrid forced him to thoroughly stretch the limbs to save the Barca advantage? The Polish was capital in many actions, a good retirement pension was being gained, until the lack of Mbappé. He slipped on his stick. He gave the impression that he could do more. Nothing to reproach him in the second.

All the sensation of superiority that it turned on in Barcelona before the final and during the first part valed in the second, and the historical sociological pessimism returned and caught in the bones with each race of Viniciuswith each dribble Mbappé and with each ball loss. Nobody on the Barca side agreed to have wanted this final, hopefully, out of the Champions League, who looks how well Barça arrived in contrast to Madrid. A recklessness. Madrid always competes.
Lamine He took out the left foot with a long pass to Ferranthat the tie with a sprint that overflowed to Courtois. That is not easy. The Belgian had prevented the blonde from fulfilling his word a while before with a huge mitter before a cross -mark of the house. In any case, assistance 24 for the end of Rocafonda and DOS tie.
In the extension, the actions of accelerated palpitations and strenuous efforts followed. Until Koundé appeared, the boy of the different hairstyle, of the striking costumes and the races by Sitges when they do not let him play. A recovery of a lot of faith and many legs. The footballer who almost never rests, the one who plays the most, raised to the altars. Another right side that marks decisively, as in its day Belleti.
Ferran, MVP of the final, put words to the general joy. “I feel a lot of happiness. Now to enjoy it but without passing, that a semifinal from Champions comes shortly.
