Against a modest opponent, FC Barcelona once again failed in its quest to win by at least two goals…
FC Barcelona has not won a match by at least two goals since mid-September and a Champions League match against Antwerp (5-0). This should have been the case on Sunday, in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey against Barbastro’s team, from Segunda Division B (the third national level). Except that the Catalans were extremely sluggish in the second half and found a way to concede two goals against this inferior team, beaten by the smallest of margins (2-3).
Lopez (18th) and Raphinha (51st) had shown the way to finally have a peaceful evening, but Mesa Garrido (60th) and Prat from the penalty spot (90th+3) found a way to shake Pena’s nets. Robert Lewandowski, who entered during the second act, thought he had scored the break goal, again from the penalty spot (88th). Next weekend, after this narrow and unconvincing success, Girona.
At the same time, Real Sociedad, future opponent of Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 of the Champions League, needed an own goal from Galilea (49th) to qualify in Andalusian soil on the pitch. from Málaga.
