Barcelona’s Camp Nou on Monday failed to make the 4-0 away defeat on Friday against Athletic Bilbao well. Therefore, the Spanish Super Cup has become a target for the Basques. Barcelona, which ended with ten men by a red card for Gerard Piqué, also won the home game no thanks to the fourth goal in two matches from Aritz Aduriz (photo above).
With the spectacular victory last Friday stood Barcelona for a nigh impossible task. Nevertheless said coach Luis Enrique there still believe that the defeat of Friday at Camp Nou could be glossed over.
On its own field, the Catalan powerhouse was therefore looking soon for goals. Claudio Bravo, Piqué, Jérémy Mathieu, Ivan Rakitic, Sergio Busquets and Andres Iniesta returned to the base at the expense of yet begun on the starting grid in San Mamés Marc-André ter Stegen, Thomas Vermaelen, Marc Bartra, Adriano, Rafinha and Sergi Roberto gave Barcelona after six minutes an attractive opportunity. The deflected effort from Pedro eventually resulted in a corner. From that corner there was a chance for Piqué, who saw his effort against the crossbar beaches.
After the revival Barcelona kept pushing it, but the spell was far from broken. After fumbling Pedro, he just delivered the ball, Javi Eraso even got an enormous opportunity to rid the diptych of the last bit of tension. He fired into the side netting, while Aduriz – Friday still good for a hat trick -. Beside him was outlawed ready to tap the ball
On the stroke of half Barcelona then still scored. A pass from Rakitic was extended manuscript Luis Suarez with his chest to Lionel Messi. The Argentinian took on and completed controlled from 1-0
After the break were irritations at Barcelona high. Piqué was even so angry with the arbitration that he could inrukken after a tirade directed at the assistant referee with direct red.
Although Barcelona then still got the necessary opportunities for a second goal, the hope faded slowly from the Catalan hearts. That was certainly the case when Aduriz in two instances the final score to 1-1 certain. Bilbao, which substitute Kike Sola five minutes after his entrance after a clumsy action also saw a red card given, thereby won for the first time really the Spanish Super Cup on hold. The former was indeed without doing any playing granted because the Basques in 1984 won the double. Since then, the club also won no prize more.
Doubts
Barcelona did not get the twelfth Super Cup, but Sunday again take revenge. On Sunday, the two teams each in the first round of the Spanish league for the third time in nine days. The question is whether the formation of Luis Enrique the Basques, on Thursday in the playoffs for a Europa League ticket yet MSK Zilina (SLW) hit yet, as it is possible defeat. Although Barcelona in Tbilisi already won the European Super Cup – Sevilla was defeated 5-4 after extra time – the treble-winners of the previous season is surrounded by doubts by the number of goals conceded in the first three official matches of the new year .
