FC Barcelona receives Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid this Tuesday in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals and faces its biggest challenge so far this season, overcoming the 4-0 defeat in the first leg against the red and whites to be in the grand final of the Cartuja in Seville.<\/p>\n
The current cup champion and sole leader of the League faces what will be one of its biggest tests to date so far this year, which involves lifting a disadvantage very wide against a very complicated rival, who arrives in full power<\/strong>.<\/p>\n But the confidence of Hansi Flick’s football fans is maximum, as Pedri revealed in an interview on RTVE this Sunday. “In the locker room there is talk that if there is a team that can coming back from 4-0 against Atleti is Bar\u00e7a<\/strong>“, assured the Canarian ‘brain’.<\/p>\n The Barcelona midfielder has recovered and is already at full strength to take the lead of the team, in this battle that will be epic between two teams that always put on a great show every time they face each other.<\/p>\n Another extra for the current champions of the competition is the great moment of way through which Lamine Yamal happens<\/strong>the young star of the team, who after leaving behind a first third of the season marked by his pubalgia, is once again giving the best sensations and performance on the field.<\/p>\n This same Saturday, the youth squad gave a real performance against Villarreal with the first hat-trick of his career since he played for the first team. At 18 years old, the Barcelona winger It was a headache for the ‘yellow submarine’<\/strong>to whom he scored goals of all colors.<\/p>\n In the first, Lamine showed the calm of a veteran of the area and was able to solve Ferm\u00edn’s deep pass with a control oriented with the outside of his left foot, and then overcome the goalkeeper’s exit with a cross shot with the same leg.<\/p>\n And from its millimeter precision to the work of art of the day. Bar\u00e7a’s ’10’ invented a play within the reach of very few<\/strong>in true Robben style, a golden left-hander who changed bands. Lamine, leaning on the right, started inside, escaped two defenders and took a shot at Junior’s own corner.<\/p>\n And to culminate with one of his best afternoons at the Camp Nou, the ‘golden boy’ of La Masia teamed up with the best Spanish creator of the moment, his teammate and friend Pedri. The Canarian filtered a remote-controlled pass to Lamine between an entire yellow wall so that he could once again define in the race against the Brazilian goalkeeper, who that night had nightmares about Bar\u00e7a’s ’10’.<\/p>\n Although not everything is good news for the German Hansi Flick, who will not be able to count on Lewandowski<\/strong>who suffered a bone fracture in that same match on the inner side of the orbit of his left eye, which will not allow him to play against Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n For its part, Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid arrives, not only with the full confidence that the margin of four goals in favor gives it, but with the team in the best moment of the season<\/strong>although he continues to show ups and downs during the games. <\/p>\n Furthermore, ‘Cholo’ Simeone has his secret weapon, the Norwegian Alexander Sorloth<\/strong>who arrives in full scoring streak. The Nordic ‘giant’ has 10 goals in 14 games, double the number of goals he scored in the first third of the season, when he scored five from the start of the season in mid-August until the Christmas break.<\/p>\n And, as if that were not enough, Sorloth was the main protagonist last week in his team’s Champions League match against Bruges, where they were playing for a place in the round of 16. The Norwegian gave another recital and added a very varied hat-trick.<\/p>\n It’s also fine Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez, author of one of the four goals against Barcelona<\/strong> in the first leg, which he scored again in the League almost four months after the last time. His victim, Oviedo, who saw the tie slip away in injury time after becoming entangled in the web of ‘the spider’.<\/p>\n It seems that the arrival of Ademola Lookman has woken up <\/strong>to a forward that had a hard time finding the goal. The arrival of the Nigerian striker has been a real boost for the team, not only because of his goals, every time he has the opportunity he scores, he has four goals and two assists in six games since he dressed in red and white.<\/p>\n All the incentives are given so that Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid, barring disaster, can make good on the 4-0 in the first leg and take revenge for last season, when they were left without a final at the hands of Barcelona.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" FC Barcelona receives Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid this Tuesday in the second leg of the Copa<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":418,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-417","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=417"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=417"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/razak.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Lamine arrives in its best version<\/h2>\n
