Ambiente ensordecedor, un colorido especial, un rival de entidad. Todos los ingredientes para ver un partido TOP de fútbol en la Jornada 6 de la Champions League. Dos históricos como el Borussia Dortmund y el FC Barcelona, frente a frente en el Signal Iduna Park. Un escenario y un contexto de altura que llevaban a Hansi Flick a salir con el once de gala, el mismo que presentó el pasado sábado ante el Betis.
Raphinha, Lewandowski y Lamine Yamal arriba, el temible tridente que este curso está a un nivel superlativo y que quiere ser diferencial esta noche en la fría ciudad de la Cuenca del Rühr. Araujo, ya con el alta médica, arranca como suplente su primer partido de la era Flick, como el propio técnico de Heidelberg adelantó en rueda de prensa. Apunta a Leganés.
Este es el 1×1 de SPORT de la primera mitad:
Correct
It ended up being offside, yes, but the hand that Iñaki Peña had to take in the first half was spectacular. In the second, another decisive stop was made. The goal came out a bit at the wrong time, but Iñigo’s mistake at the start killed him.
Offensive
Another very complete game in attack from Koundé, who has improved a lot in short spaces and technically. Lethal partnership with Lamine. He had a good one for 0-1.
Busy
He had a great first half, top class. Good in duels, expeditious. In the second he committed a debatable ‘penalty’ but in which he fell into Guirassy’s trap. In the goal he did not shoot the line well after Iñigo’s mistake at the start.
Required
He marked territory on a couple of occasions. He has stripes and it shows by how he directs and commands the defense. Clean at the start and well-connected with Cubarsí. In the second he made a big mistake at the start that cost him 2-2.
Surprised
He ran into an unleashed Duranville who made him suffer a lot in the first half. The Belgian winger was a constant nuisance and left him unable to deploy much in attack. In the second he controlled better.
Omnipresent
Positional, but always giving meaning to everything he does. Balance, work. Good first half from Sant Pere de Vilamajor and in the second they suffered a little more with the duel broken and turned into a street runner. Very established in Flick’s eleven.
Combinative
He teamed up all over the playing field, looking for triangulations. He did not arrive dangerously on the second line nor could he make any decisive passes, but he was good in distribution. And physically he is better than ever.
Assistant
Excellent first 20 minutes in the offensive aspect of Egarense. He generated, he moved the team. Then he faded a little, but he assisted Raphinha on the goal. He ended up having 1-2 in his boots.
Blessed
This year has the elf, the shine. Always define with tremendous intention. Goal similar to Bayern’s, crossing perfectly from a somewhat heeled situation. 17th of the course. He then felt a cramp in his calf and was relieved.
Imaginative
He once again pulled off a delicious trivela and made one rip after another for Bensebaini. Fresh, dynamic and unbalancing, as usual. In the second he received fewer balls, but gave a delicious assist to Ferran at 2-3.
Insipid
A little more connected from the start than in Seville, but the truth is that the team has had a hard time connecting with him in recent games. A couple of long shots and little else to rescue from a fairly discreet game.
Squalo
Like against Betis, it was going in and scoring. In the right place, at the right time, smelling the blood like the shark it is. In the third he defined as the angels in a counter. It has the goal magnet. Definition of revulsive. Four goals in the last three games.
Midfielder
He played Dani Olmo again, in a more advanced position. He made little contact with the ball and dedicated himself to working.
Intense
As always, a non-negotiable dose of sacrifice and physical deployment. Born finisher. Prominence after leaving Seville unpublished.
