Levante 1 Barcelona 1 . Three Horse Race
09:51
Barcelona lost two points ,Atletico followed Barca and they lost two points too. Real Madrid are just 1 point behind the leaders. Now the league can be won by any of these three teams.Three horse race. Coming to our game, it was always a tough game at Levante. Over the years, Levante, Getafe, Osasuna away games have always been tough for Barcelona and Real Madrid. Today was the same case too.
Barcelona had put 7 past Levante in the first game of the season, and coming back from that result to make it 1-1 is really a great achievement. Levante got their tactics right.Firstly, they were attacking, had decent possession of the ball and converted our disadvantage to their advantage. They scored the first goal, a stat was tweeted during the game," Barcelona have conceded 6 goals out of 13 goals in set pieces", that's quite a record actually. Tata Martino has transformed zonal marking to man marking.In the yesterday's game, none of Barca players were covering the either post, it was done on purpose.I recommend you to visit allasfcb.blogspot.com to know the purpose.However it also has its share of disadvantage , Ex: you can remember the goals we conceded against valencia, sevilla etc all in corners.
Levante scored first and their first "goal" was achieved. Their second aim was to defend the lead and at any cost they wanted 1 point from this game. These days, in La Liga ,a point gained against Barca,R.Madrid and even Atletico is considered as a win. So, it was obvious. Levante parked the bus,and barca were trying to penetrate through their defense . It wasn't late before pique scored an exact replica of Levante goal. We were thinking now that we can easily score the second and get all 3 points, but Juanfran and k.Navas stayed in our way. Not once or twice ,but in many occasions they came to rescue their team.
There was this moment in the match,where navas and juanfran stepped up and saved their team. Messi dribbled past some Levante players and played a fine one,two with Fabregas(I guess) and had a shot towards the goal, Navas saved, the ball bounced back from keeper's leg to Xavi and then Xavi shot towards goal, Juanfran made sure the ball didn't go in. The ball again bounced back to Messi, who headed towards the goal againnnnn, but NAVAS Saved. Minutes later Messi's shot was saved again. Navas was clearly man of the match for them. Had it been another day, Messi would have scored and we would have had all 3 points.
Another good thing is, Atletico missed a glorious chance to top the table ,thanks to sevilla. I had predicted that sevilla are good enough to snatch a draw, and they didn't disappoint me. I think many cules were supporting Sevilla yesterday and the magic worked :D.
Flop of the match : Alexis sanchez.
We will play Levante again in Copa del rey. Let's thrash them this time.
Visca el Barca.
