Start year with the handbrake on for Barca Wonderland, stuck to “Cornella” by a fierce Espanyol (and wood) and disconnected from Atletico Madrid in the evening that he overcome Levante 1-0 with a goal from Thomas in the final rising to +2 Luis Enrique. Against Espanyol, beaten in their last seven circumstances, the Blaugrana do not go beyond the 0-0, dampened by the defensive wall and opposing poles caught by Messi and Suarez (for a total of only 18 in the league, almost one per game). Waiting to recover the game in hand, the Blaugrana suffer momentary overtaking Colchoneros and risk engagement of Real (busy tomorrow night in Valencia).

problems – So much character, asphyxiating markings and if necessary, some came to the limit of the regulation. And ‘the mix that can complicate life in a Barcelona in full force yet harnessed the high pace imposed dall’Espanyol. Not that the Blaugrana are missing opportunities, from the badly wasted by Jordi Alba 9 ‘(ciabattata face to face with Lopez) and the unfortunate crossing seized by Messi free-kick at 35′ (with Lopez property). But the hosts are good to argue blow by blow and not to fall into the trap of prolonged possession Barca topped by lethal flashes of genius MSN, leading to 19 ‘of an intoxicating exchange to limit that to just not worth the benefit.
question Woods – To make things more difficult for Barca is also the great defensive attention Espanyol, meanwhile does not mind rare but dangerous projections offensive (as Hernan, nearly the bang at 52 ‘after a number on the right). The insistent search of goals from Messi and company, however, slams back against the wood at 55 ‘, when Suarez hit the post from a few centimeters after Lopez out output. Luis Enrique also tries to give a change of pace with the inclusion of Sergi Roberto 71 ‘(for Rakitic), but Espanyol can fragment the game managing to annoy Messi and company. The ultimate thrill is a left-placed Messi 89 ‘. Just wide. As the two points faded.

leader – Gift grabbed by the gang of Cholo. Last breath, like three days ago and against the same bad luck that afternoon instead cost the half slip to Barça. The Colchoneros acciuffano fact the top spot spreading the Levant in the final, after over an hour of constant pressure and the beauty of three wood affected. Decisive a paw to 81 ‘of the Ghanaian Thomas, who took over at 73′ instead of an off Jackson Martinez amazing cue ball and chain for the central streets with three opponents skipped and winning touch with the complicity of the goalkeeper who first para, then in fact with the other hand puts the ball into his own goal. Thomas bent so the resistance of a Levante already graced the crossbar 19 ‘, 54′ and 57 ‘(sensational especially the second, Koke, of great shot from distance) and by the referee, who for the first time flew over on a (likely) rigor of Correa unleashing the anger of Simeon. Hit the spot changes in the running of the Cholo, who had deployed to surprise trident Griezmann-Correa-Martinez only to throw into the fray and Vietto Thomas, author of the winning goal.
