The one between Barcelona and Real Madrid at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys was not one of those closed classics, since the zero was broken prematurely. Ilkay Gündogan took advantage of a serious oversight on the last merengue line to put the team led by Xavi Hernández 1-0 ahead.
The German sought to make a wall in three quarters of the field with Ferrán Torres, who managed to connect a ball that was deflected back by the Englishman Jude Bellingham and who failed to clear the danger due to the stalking of the culé midfielder was David Alaba, who from The ground saw how his rival beat Kepa Arrizabalaga’s fence and made the Blaugrana fans delirious.
There would be revenge for the Englishman Bellingham in the complement. In the 67th minute, the midfielder took the ball after a short header from Gavi, loaded the power bar near the crescent of the large area defended by Barcelona and hit it with his right foot. He gave the impression that Marc-André ter Stegen could have done something more to deactivate the missile, but the truth is that the team led by Carlo Ancelotti tied the match with an unforgettable victory for the star reinforcement.
Bellingham would have one more bullet ready for the end. When it seemed that the Spanish classic would end in a draw, Barcelona greatly neglected the rise from the right of Dani Carvajal, who sent a spicy cross into the area that actually targeted Luka Modric, but the Croatian number 10 could not control and caused Íñigo Martínez he got lost and lost the Englishman’s mark in the heart of the area. Like a ghost, the 20-year-old Briton subdued ter Stegen and declared Madrid’s agonizing victory.
With this result, the Madrid team reached Girona at the top of the Spanish league, which yesterday defeated Celta de Vigo 1-0 at home. Barça, which had the chance to surpass it in the table, was four points away from the leading duo that Diego Simeone’s Atlético Madrid could join, which is six points ahead but has two games to play (tomorrow it will host Alavés and on December 23 they will do the same against Sevilla due to the pending Date 4).
THE CROSSING BETWEEN XAVI AND VINICIUS JR
Halfway through the first half, the Brazilian fell near the transit zone of the Barcelona coach, who crossed him due to a supposed simulation and exclaimed “nothing, nothing.” Vini Jr, who complained about a foul by Uruguayan Ronald Araújo (whom he faced on the last date of the South American Qualifiers) to referee Jesús Gil Manzano, turned his back on the field to contradict the rival coach. It all ended with laughter and some friendly slaps from Xavi on his face.
MICK JAGGER WAS PRESENT IN THE TRIBUNE
The Rolling Stones singer was the special guest at the Spanish classic. Logically, the 80-year-old Briton encouraged Barcelona, who wore a special t-shirt with the tongue that represents the logo of his legendary rock band. Although he celebrated at the beginning for Gündogan’s goal, he retired crestfallen like all the culés due to the defeat on the hour mark.
