He Barcelona faces the Red Star with two new additions to the eleven. Hansi Flick bet on the young Gerard Martinto the detriment of Bucketand for De Jong. The Dutchman makes his first start of the season.
Hansi Flick continues his unwavering commitment to Iñaki Peña. He conceded a goal in the 27th minute, which at the moment was Red Star’s only shot between the three sticks.
The Frenchman rested in the derby, only playing a few minutes in the final stretch. Today he returns to eleven. It is life insurance for the culé team. A lot of projection in attack against a Red Star that closes a lot.
The center does not allow rotation. Together with Iñigo Martínez he has become an untouchable tandem. Little work behind, but very decisive.
Iñigo Martínez is having a great start to the season. He is the head of a defense that forms with the line very advanced. He opened the scoring with a header before the quarter-hour mark.
The left back starts tonight. He’s getting a lot of minutes this season. Breaks the offside in Red Star’s goal.
The midfielder is at an excellent level. Good first minutes of Catalan.
The Dutchman’s first start after an injury that hampered him at the start of the season. Good pressure.
The Canary will form a little further forward and that allows him to step into the area more and have more offensive presence.
The extreme always leaves details of great quality. He scored Barcelona’s first shot between the three sticks. A lot of mobility to look for spaces.
The Brazilian is another of the players who has taken a step forward. He gave the assist, on a set piece, to Iñigo Martínez. He tried the Olympic goal but hit the post and forgave in an individual play before the half hour mark.
Lewandowski cut his scoring streak against Espanyol after five games in a row, and tonight in Belgrade he hopes to get it back. He’s not comfortable.
The German coach has changed the team’s mentality in a very short time.
