Fhappy ending for Barcelona in the commitment that, apparently, presented the most difficulties in this final league sprint to secure second place. He defeated a Real Sociedad that temporized and trusted everything to control the game to reach the final stretch alive. When he wanted to press the accelerator, he could not overcome the great goal that Lamine Yamal had scored in the first half, in a good section of the Barcelona team. Raphinha, from a penalty, scored in stoppage time, a controversial move because the VAR took three minutes. The Barca has not wasted the opportunity and caresses the runner-up after winning, above all, with a lot of craftsmanship and efficiency in the opportunities.
[+] Watch the match summary:
LReal stood in Montjuïc with the intention of challenging Barça for the ball, opted to protect themselves through possession and reached the final stretch of the match with a chance of at least tying. The Barcelona team had advanced The final five minutes of the first half were intense and effective, but for many minutes Real kept the ball waiting for its moment. That moment never came. Barça, for its part, without Araujo, always remained firm in defense and had in Lamine Yamal and Raphinha his two spear whores.
ABarça la Real changed the attacking order: to Gol Nord in the first half and to Gol Sud in the second. Contrary to what you usually do, both in Montjuïc and in the Camp Nou. A bad omen and proof that the people of San Sebastián knew their rival’s customs well. Likewise, they had prepared The crash was good and it was seen from the first minute in several details.
Christensen, midfielder one more day, He was very watched in every corner. Real was warned after the goal that the Dane scored at the Bernabéu. That goal that gave hope seems very far away, but barely three weeks and one day have passed. The Dane was marked and very pressured at the start of the game, Real knowing that he is not the neatest of the Blaugranas when releasing the ball.
OAnother example of conscientious preparation for the match was Real’s own lineup, which came out with three centre-backs, something very unusual. Imanol did not see Tierney recovered, so he did not have any pure left-back available. He placed the young Arambur thereor. On the right, Traoré, fresh from injury. The three Real midfielders, Merino, Turrientes and Brais, moved the ball with ease and started the plays relying on the defenders or even the goalkeeper Remiro without complexes.

MDeeper than Barça in the first minutes, Real managed to worry Ter Stegen despite the fact that they were outnumbered from midfield forward. Becker warned, finishing off a long collective play. And later, Becker himself forced Ter Stegen to win one on one after stealing Cubarsí’s wallet, although the referee whistled a foul on the young center back. And, shortly after, a long pass left Becker himself alone, who ran towards Ter Stegen and scored, but Iñigo Martínez had left him offside very skillfully at the beginning of the play. His teammates still gave Becker an advantage in another action almost at the end of the first half, but his shot went wide. La Real was not in trouble when the game started, well located and without leaving spaces behind. The moment they advanced lines and lost the ball, Barcelona woke up and exploited the spaces behind the defense.
EThe Barça team had difficulties in overcoming the realistic structure and tried on the wings, with Lamine, who surpassed his pair and combined with Gündogan before Pacheco avoided his shot with the tip of his boot, and Raphinha, that seated Traoré but whose back pass was faulty.
Nor Raphinha faltered in his attempts, who shot the post after a great action by Gündogan, who found Pedri on the Real front line. The Canary left it, in the center and facing, for Raphinha, who launched a great shot against the post. The Barca had been launched when Gündogan went into action between the lines.
OOnce again the German was decisive for Barça to advance on the scoreboard. The play was started by Lewandowski, very hardworking, in the middle, and he threw a pass to Gündogan who broke the San Sebastian defense. The German controlled and enabled Lamine Yamal, who did not forgive vertically and made it 1-0. Barcelona had activated based on transitions in five minutes after a good first half in San Sebastian.
TAfter being at a disadvantage, a reaction from Real was expected, but they maintained the same structure, with Barça under control that if they broke it was through Lamine Yamal’s area in their duel with Aramburu. A new shot by Raphina, into the top corner, forced Remiro to show off by sending the ball to the corner.
TEverything indicated Barcelona’s control without too many problems when a loss by Gündogan at the ball’s exit left Brais on the front line. He feinted and finished off a ball that went off kissing the post when the goal was missed. There the Royal and Sheriff woke upwho sent the two players with a card to the shower, changed the drawing to have the usual 4-3-3 of the San Sebastian team.
IKubo tried to surprise Ter Stegen with his first ball, facing Cancelo from the right until that moment, very undemanding, and in the other goal, immediately after entering for Lewandowski, Ferran almost scored. Zakharyan, also fresh off the pitch, took a free-kick that was stopped by Ter Stegen. The final stretch had become an exchange of blows, when a handball in the Real area caused Cuadra Fernández to award a penalty three minutes later. Raphinha did not fail and won the award for his good performance.
