Barca News
Ferran Torres continues to accumulate minutes, prominence and goals. Xavi has once again opted for him at the Benito Villamarín this afternoon and the ‘Tiburón’ has once again responded wonderfully. In fact, he has been the undisputed main actor of the meeting.
Theirs was the 0-1. Of pure opportunism. Of being on site. From ‘9’. A bounced pass from Gündogan fell at the feet of his great friend Pedri and Tegueste’s pass was left on a plate to the ‘7’. With the ‘little red arrow’ pointing up, the man from Foios has continued to impact a Betis team that has suffered the unspeakable in the first 45 minutes. The VAR has prevented him from adding another ‘tangible’ to Ferran, since he had given Lewandowski a goal. But the VOR room has ruled that the Pole was ahead on the previous day (a wall).
But the Valencian wanted more. Barça was unleashed and Lamine, Lewy and company wanted to seal and cement a key victory as soon as possible. We had to wait until the start of the second half to see how the ‘squalo’ completed his double. Beautiful personal play by Yamal, shot to the crossbar and again as a pure ‘9’, Ferran took advantage of the rebound and finished perfectly. 0-2. Party over? No.
Barça, which had just had 50 very good minutes, improving the image of the last games, made life complicated. A double from Isco in three minutes ruined everything.
It was time to get up and time was running out. But we still had to finish uncovering the jar of essences. Personal action from Ferran, assist to Joao and delicious exterior from the Portuguese for 2-3. But Foios’s was even more canine. He completed his stellar performance by defining a one-on-one match against Rui Silva like the angels. Brutal assistance from Lamine. Three goals and an assist for Foios in perhaps his best game with Barça.
THE MVP THEME…
Perhaps the most surprising thing came with Gil Manzano’s final whistle. The La Liga MVP did not go to Foios despite his three goals and one assist. It was for an Isco who had a brilliant appearance with two goals (one beautiful goal scored early). But they have not ended up being of any use to a Betis that has ended up dying on the shore.
Which makes us reflect a little on how the award is managed. To anyone who tells you that Ferran has scored a hat-trick and given an assist and has played his best game in a Barça shirt and has not won the award for best player…
