Winning easily has gone out of fashion. Victories are hard, you have to chew them a lot. Before him Valencia was no less and the team Xavi Hernandezwho was facing his first game since agreeing to continue leading the team next season, had to come back against Rubén Baraja’s team, which advanced after turning around Fermín’s first goal.
The youth player always appears in important moments and each time he wins the next one. The El Campillo midfielder scored again with a header and was Barça’s best after Lewandowskiwho took the ball home with his second hat-trick as a culé.
However, the unforced errors that the team continues to have are not normal. Valencia’s two goals come preceded by two glaring errors in defense. The first of Mark ter Stegenwho yesterday became the second foreigner with the most matches in the history of the Barça (408). The German goalkeeper tried a hat in the presence of Hugo Duro. Surreal.
Ter Stegen he was wrong due to the general surprise. An error unworthy of his category and the rival striker took the ball with his chest to end up scoring at will. “You have to play with a little more seriousness,” he claimed. Deco in statements at half-time, when Barça was already losing 1-2 due to another individual error, in this case of Ronald Araujo.
Again Peter Federico, a Real Madrid youth player who was being the protagonist, put the culé defense in trouble. He won the back and arrived before the Uruguayan. Araujo, very past, did not reach the ball and took the Ché player ahead of him. Ashes He was in charge of transforming the maximum penalty.
Another individual error that seemed to put the game uphill, but Mamardashvili He also failed on the Valencian side. The Georgian goalkeeper touched the ball with his hand outside the area to prevent Lamine from going alone towards the goal. And he was expelled.
Direct red that the VAR had to warn her because not even De Burgos Bengoetxea -the referee that Xavi likes the most and who called Barça for the first time this season- nor his assistant Núñez Fernández, the same one who annulled a legal goal scored by Messi on the last day of the 2013-2014 season against Atlético.

Improved the Barça with one more man, as expected. And the team locked Valencia in their field. The Che team held out as long as it could until an annihilating version of Lewy arrived.
Despite the Pole’s hat-trick, Xavi Hernandez He had to take out all the artillery. J.hello Félix, Pedri (which was decisive with providential anticipation in defense), Ferran Torres… Many minutes of Araujo were even seen playing Alexanko. In fact, the 3-2 of Lewandowski It came after a header from the Uruguayan, again from the corner, again thanks to Sergio Alegre’s scoreboard.
