The United States belongs to Barça

The third classic in the United States was won by Barça. Three out of three. The one from Dallas thanks to a great rehearsed play that surprised the white defense, to the help of the crossbar and the appearance of the young Fermín in the final minutes, with a goal and an assist for Ferran Torres.

The Barça was much better than the Real Madrid in the first half hour of play. Both coaches showed their cards already in Dallas of what their ideas can be during the season. Two very starting elevens. Both with four midfielders, although Barça attacking with three strikers, with Balde constantly joining on the left flank.

Those of Xavi wanting to reach the rival area through possession. Those of Ancelotti for the pressure and the counterattack. The first clear chance was in favor of Barça and it came after a great round that ended with a superb Oriol Romeu shot off the crossbar. Shortly after, Dembele’s opened the scoring. Laboratory game. Gundogan, Pedri and bite of the mosquito. The Frenchman, who in recent days has been linked to PSG, celebrated the goal, implying that he will continue at Barça. Xavi’s men also had luck as an ally in this section of the game. As in the game against Arsenal, a penalty by the hands of Araujo. Saka sent him out. Vinicius, to the crossbar.

The last phase of the first half was more of white dominance. With two changes due to muscular discomfort at Barça, Christensen and Gündogan, and one at Real Madrid, Mendy. And with the party turning rough. Due to a very tough tackle by Camavinga on Araujo and by another by Frenkie de Jong, very active and with captain’s stripes, on Vinicius.

Also, with the appearance of two of the best goalkeepers in the world. Ter Stegen to avoid the goals of Bellingham and Rodrygo and Courtois to leave Dembélé with a span of noses after finishing alone and when he was already preparing to celebrate the goal.

The rest caused the players to lower their heart rate and the intensity decreased. Of course, Oriol Romeu continued to give a recital. Busquets will always be Busquets, but the man from Ulldecona showed against Real Madrid that he is prepared to be the center midfielder of a team that again saw their goal threatened from afar, with a shot from Tchouameni that hit the post, the whites’ fourth .

Little by little, Xavi was bringing in fresh men, many more than Ancelotti who wanted to tie the classic. youVinicius had a clear opportunity, but Barça was the team that struck again with a great goal from Fermín, the player from the subsidiary that Xavi is liking so much on this tour and another from Ferran after an assist from Fermín himself.
