Barcelona Total Domination Jumps Them to First Place In The League

Barcelona returned from the international break hungry, and Osasuna never stood a chance. With an amazing 3-0 victory at home, the team reminded us all why Barcelona fans should believe and dream of winning with this team and Crest. 

Match Summary:

From the start of the whistle, Barcelona had total control from start to finish. The team looked completely in sync, moving as a unit and dominating every inch of the pitch.  Barcelona wasted no time in the first half when young fullback Alejandro Balde cut down the left side of the pitch and delivered a perfect ball for ‘El Tiburon’ Ferran Torres, whose posting and timing were perfect as he has been in form as of lately, and tapped it in to give Barcelona the lead in 1-0 in the 11th minute. 

Then, 10 minutes later, Barcelona earned a penalty after a clumsy challenge in the box. Spanish player Dani Olmo stepped up, but unfortunately, his shot was saved. But VAR caught the Osasuna keeper off his line early, and Olmo made no mistake on the retake. Increasing Barcelona's lead by 2-0. Unfortunately for Dani Olmo, shortly after scoring, he would have to be substituted off due to a muscle injury. This was a major blow for Barcelona but opened up the door for 21-year-old star Fermin Lopez. He would once again prove why he belongs in this team. 

Barcelona kept control of the game, but Lewandowski was still quiet, this was until he had his moment, just like every other superstar, when substitute Fermín floated a ball into the box, and the Polish striker, rising above his marker, headed the ball in with ease. 


Making it a Game. Set. Match


So What’s Next?

With this win, Barcelona now sits 3 points clear at the top of the table. However, they must
stay focused since a challenging April lies ahead, with matches against Villarreal and Atlético Madrid looming.

    I agree with you that April will be a challenging and extremely important part of the season. This is when the pressure is on, with the final stages of the Champions League coming up, nine more games left in LaLiga while only three points ahead of Real Madrid and nine ahead of Atlético, and the players reaching a point where their bodies start feeling the workload that began last summer. Barcelona is my favorite team, and it has been a pleasure watching them play all season long. So, hopefully they finish strong and bring home some trophies!

Football Daily: The Beginning

Hello and welcome to  Football Daily ! I’ve never written a blog before, so please bear with me. For those who don’t know me, my name is Jair, and I’m a marketing major who enjoys playing and watching football (soccer). I someday hope to work for a soccer team, whether that be an MLS team here in America or a European team! I will normally be talking about FC Barcelona, a Spanish football club. Still, every once in a while (like today), I will also talk about other European teams and the Champions League, a tournament where the best teams in Europe compete to be crowned the best team on the continent. Now, it’s currently the month of January, which is one of the biggest months in European football. For one, the transfer window has been open for the whole month, allowing struggling teams like last year’s European champions, Manchester City, to acquire new players from different clubs in hopes of turning their season around. But we can talk about the transfer window once it closes an...

Champions League Round of 16: First-Leg Review

Image
FINALLY! The Champions League knockout stage is in full swing, and the first-leg matches did not disappoint. I couldn’t watch all eight games, but I caught some of them live and others on reruns throughout the week. Of course, I saw Barcelona and their hard-earned victory, as well as Bayern Munich and Arsenal, who both delivered dominant performances over their opponents, Liverpool and their late winner, and an intense Madrid Derby. With that being said, let’s break down these first-leg matches. Bayern Munich 3-0 Bayern Leverkusen  Now, Bayner made a statement with a commanding 3-0 win over Bundesliga (German First Divison) rivals Bayer Leverkusen. From the start of the whistle, Bayern’s side showered their superiority, with English goal-scoring machine Harry Kane opening the score with a perfect header in the 9th minute. Bayern’s pressing and midfield organization left Leverkusen struggling to find their rhythm, with their best chances coming from counterattacks.  In the...

Football Daily: UCL Drama Unfolds

  Welcome back to Football Daily!      The UEFA Champions League “league phase” has ended, and as anticipated, the last games have delivered some intense football, tactical masterclasses, and surprising outcomes. Let’s look at how the key match discussed in our previous blog played out and the results of a few other games.        Manchester City, previous champions a few years back, took care of business and survived into the knockout playoffs. However, it did take them a while to get going in the game. They started off falling behind to Club Brugge in the first half, and for most City fans, their dreams of making it to the knockout stage of the tournament seemed over. However, an own goal by a Brugge defender during the 60th minute brought hope to City's fans and the team. Minutes later, City's young Brazilian start    Savinho would score two more goals, making it 3-1 before it was all over.    With the win, they advance to th...
