Barça gets into trouble in Europe, but they have it in their hands

The first game in this Champions League arrived in which Barça did not win. Fue against Anderlecht, the toughest opponent they had in their group (5-5), and that he had the game dominated at all times and seemed to have it on track with 2-5 in the final minutes. It should be remembered that of the four teams that make up the group, only the first advances to the Final Four, and after this result both Barça, who thrashed United Galati on the first day (6-2), have four points, the same as the Anderlecht, who started with a win against Croatian Pula, the host (3-2). In these ways, both will play the pass on the last day on Saturday: the Belgians play at 5:30 p.m. against United Galati and Barça at 8:30 p.m. against local Pula.

Barça has 11 goals for and 7 against, while Anderlecht He has a balance of eight in favor and seven against. Despite this tie, the current European champions have it in their face to be in the Final Four of the next month of May, but they will play it on the last day. They have two things in their favour: a better advantage in goal difference than the Belgians and that they will also play after them, knowing the result and/or goals they would need to pass. Even with everything, the feeling after the duel against Anderlecht is bittersweet for Velasco’s men because of the way in which the game escaped them: “We have paid dearly for having forgiven so much and the good game we have played is useless. The key? His third goal with great luck in his first attack with a goalkeeper-player who has given them life with 5′ to go. This is our sport”says the technician from Toledo.

The Belgian comeback had a name among the highlights, and surely one of the expected: Fits. The Brazilian center, who marveled in Manzanares during the few months he was in the League last season and whose return to the Spanish competition is not ruled out, He scored two goals, including the one for the final tie. The other was the one who put the Belgians ahead shortly after the start, but Barça reacted in a great way with the goals from Matheus and Pito. Diogo put the tables back on. There were only five minutes of the game. After a timeout by Velasco, Barça had a magical minute with two goals from Ferrao and Marcenio to reach 2-4 at halftime. After the restart, Adolfo made it 2-5. It was the moment in which the Belgians took all the risks and, with Grello as goalkeeper-player, they managed the comeback: Grello himself, Rescia and the aforementioned Fits equalized the duel. Great game and everything to be decided on Saturday.
