Halkan ka eeg sawirka kooxdii Barcelona ee guushii ugu danbaysay Real Sociedad ka soo gaadhay.Waxaana kooxdaas hadda ka sii jooga Lionel Messi iyo Andres Iniesta oo kulankan seegay isla markaana dhaawac ka soo kabsanaya.
FC’s Craig Burley had some harsh words for Barcelona coach Luis Enrique ahead of El Clasico this weekend.
“Real Sociedad were infinitely better than us with and without the ball”.
“The battles will be important and they will be decisive”.
Barca head into next weekend’s Clasico with a six-point deficit to leaders Real Madrid, and Luis Enrique has promised fans that they will produce a better performance.
– However, Messi has gone five matches without a goal against Madrid in all competitions – his worst run against Los Blancos. In the second half we improved but playing like that it will be hard to win La Liga.
Xabi Prieto headed a guilt-edged chance wide, whilst Vela also fired off target when well-placed inside the area before the break.
Atletico Madrid responded to their derby defeat with a convincing 3-0 victory over Osasuna as Diego Godin and Kevin Gameiro scored within two minutes of each other. The opponents pressed with six players in our own half which made it hard to get out. He wasn’t injured, and the vehicle only suffered minor damage to its driver’s side front end, but things are rarely minor with a auto that costs roughly $250,000. Barcelona managed to salvage a 1-1 draw thanks to a Lionel Messi equalizer, but they couldn’t find a way to beat La Real.
Barca broke quickly and Denis Suarez rounded Rulli but saw his shot cleared off the line by Asier Illarramendi.
While the Blaugrana are now 2 in the La Liga standings, they already trail Real Madrid by 6 points with 1/3 of the season already gone.
Substitute Carrasco rounded off the scoring with his eighth goal of the season in stoppage time.
“I think he [Luis Enrique] perhaps needs to be a little bit more clued in with substitutions as well, he is a manager that does not use them as much as he should and he was criticised for that [against Real Sociedad], particularly Andre Gomes staying on for the whole game”. With this win, Atletico de Madrid climbs to fourth position on points table.
“The positive thing is we will fight for this league until the end and we have to improve on this display without doubt because it is impossible to play worse”.
Aspas scored the first, his ninth in as many games, then set up Theo Bongonda to open his account for the season against a Granada team without a win all year.
