This is how we saw the Barcelona players in the first half of Girona-Barça (1-1)
TER STEGEN Dazzled
He could do little in the goal other than try to follow the trajectory of the ball, with the sun against
KOUNDÉ Asleep
He was not attentive in the play of Girona’s equalizer, by Iván Martín, as soon as he took the center after Christensen’s great goal. Savinho gave him work and surpassed him.
ARAUJO Precipitated
In the action in which more was demanded of him, he went to the ground and Iván Martín surpassed him with his cut and assisted Dovbyk to make it 1-1. They showed him a card for a tackle on Dobvyk.
CUBARSI Surprised
Dovbyk beat him back to head Iván Martín’s cross into the quick tying goal. In the creation, he was in charge of initiating the plays.
CANCEL Incisor
It was difficult for him to find a way to overcome Eric Garcia to progress and create danger, but when he did, he created very dangerous chances, such as Gündogan’s header against the post.
SERGI ROBERTO Prowler
He looked for corridors between the lines to take advantage of the good Barça defensive pressure. Yangel was too much of an obstacle for him. The unpresentable Hernández Hernández showed him a card in the penalty play for protesting and then did not take it away.
CHRISTENSEN Dominator
As at the Bernabéu, they advanced on Barça on the scoreboard. And with a great goal. He went vertically between Girona’s lines as if he were inside and Lamine Yamal detected him and sent him a great vertical pass that the Dane lowered with his chest to adjust the ball next to the base of the right post. As a center midfielder, he provided lucidity and also consistency, with a lot of daring and effectiveness in the aerial game.
GÜNDOGAN Auctioneer
He was irregular, looking for a way to do damage between the lines, near the area, with some attempts from distance but also with some losses. His header hit the crossbar.
LAMINE YAMAL Explosive
The player who assisted Christensen did a great job finding Miguel’s back repeatedly, breaking through Girona’s defense effectively. He even earned a penalty that the referee missed, despite being very close to the action. The assist and penalty led to a goal.
LEWANDOWSKI Unstoppable
He didn’t have many opportunities to shine, as he was tightly marked and had little space to work with. But when the chance came, he made no mistake from the penalty spot.
FERMÍN On and off
He looked for space, but very little appeared.
