All hope for humanity was always in the hands of a boy who grew as he defeated rivals, overcame challenges and battles, lived adventures and progressed in his powers until he became a super space warrior . It was the argument of Bola de , whose creator died on March 1, as was known yesterday. It is also the story of today's Barcelona, saved by a teenager who is old enough to watch cartoons at lunchtime and who is deciding elite matches, defeating opponents twice his age and size. Lamine Yamal cleared Barça with a goulash after slowing in slow motion to make space, a gesture Akira would have liked.
The goal was celebrated in a big way despite it being a 1-0 against the third lowest scoring team in the League. The super-warrior Lamine Yamal dressed as Son Goku and rescued Barça when it seemed they had everything against them in an ending worthy of a Japanese anime. In a world full of egos, the boy is determined to transform himself and emerge as the hero when all possibilities are exhausted.
On a cold night when Mallorca d'Aguirre arrived, an ugly villain, one of the rivals with the most skill, which gives less and makes the rhythm more difficult, Barcelona chose to complicate life and sweat a lot for a victory necessary to to face the big game of the Champions League. Xavi, penalized for five yellow cards, did the opposite of what he said. He thought of Napoli before the League and gave Lewandowski a rest.
The Blaugrana are that team that dreams of making the coup in Europe and that depends on three boys from the squad aged 16, 17 and 18. The winger Lamine Yamal and the central Cubarsí are already settled because of the responsibility they play with despite being still young, but Marc Guiu was chosen to play again, in front of Vitor Roque, the Brazilian of 30 million plus 31, who has only headlined once since landing.
From the start, Barça played with four central formations (one as a winger and another as a pivot) and four pure forwards (one as an inside player). So it was not surprising that the only one in charge on the field was Gündogan, who had to multiply to be at the base of the play and also on the balcony of the area at the time of giving the last pass.
The losses of De Jong and Pedri represented a missile in the line of organization of the Blaugrana game, because Christensen, who has already played seven games in a row as a midfielder, hardly gives rhythm to the circulation, and Raphinha always aims to be electric and achieves rush into every action.
Against a defense of five and with João Félix completely resigned, the imbalance was left to Lamine Yamal, who was initially weighed down by the last two substitutions and was shy. However, the boy appeared to be upright and assist in speed Raphinha, who stood in the area where Copete stepped on his right ankle. The Brazilian complained a lot – in fact he injured himself – but the referee only whistled for a penalty after watching the VAR images for a long time.
From the 11 meters and without Lewandowski, Gündogan (as in Las Palmas) took responsibility, but the German telegraphed his shot to the left of Rajkovic, who easily avoided the 1-0. Barcelona made that unforgivable mistake of failing the easy thing against a team that makes everything difficult, like the rocky Mallorca, which, in addition, brought danger in the transitions of Larin and Muriqi, well controlled by Cubarsí and Iñigo Martínez , in the absence of another sanctioned, Araújo.
As if there weren't enough youngsters, the entry of another boy from the house, Fermín, substitute for Raphinha, helped to end the first half well, first with a combination between the lines and then with a header that almost surprises the Serbian goalkeeper of Mallorca.
A Muriqi header on the crossbar sent Montjuïc reeling, no matter how much the spectators cheered at 0-0, and woke up Lamine Yamal. The winger responded with a left-footed shot that also crashed onto the crossbar as it rounded Lewandowski and Vitor Roque.
It was the prelude to another shot with the effect of 27 that this time did hit the net. The youngest member of the team dressed as a savior with his left leg in silk. The inspiration of a youth saved Barcelona when there was still more than a quarter of an hour left, but the 1-0 had the flavor of an epic. Lamine Yamal is played by a rod, unlike others that cost more and are worth less. And this is what Barça is doing. He doesn't have much left.
