The captain, a footballer always present at major events, has paved the way for the title. With the flag style and the ball well attached to the feet, the Catalans have reached their third consecutive league with a football bath in front of the white team. This time, however, the title has had a special point. After two league titles won away from home, he has been sentenced to the heat of the Catalans by Johan Cruyff.
Barça have an inherent hunger for triumphs. His appetite is never satisfied. There is always a record to break, a game to win, a goal to achieve. The season is going flawless: full of victories and dizzying goal-scoring records. With these numbers, the League had to be cool and there was no better scenario to win it than at home, in front of his fans, and against Real Madrid.
Barça came out focused and focused on the ball that presided over the field. This Sunday, she was the quintessential protagonist of the event. Barça, who always treated her with care and delicacy, played in the third consecutive league. The atmosphere was solemn, big day. The Catalans knew it and did not miss the appointment: with songs that shook the foundations of a Johan Cruyff full to overflowing have accompanied their players to lift the title.
Barça superiority
The classic has been a measure of strength, a new example of Catalan football superiority over the green. Jonathan’s set is unrivaled, especially in state competitions. No rival in the league has managed to tickle them and Real Madrid has not been an exception. The team led by Alberto Toril has been relegated to its own area, with no room to progress, thanks to the high pressure of the Catalans. Since the collegiate one whistled the start of the classic, the Catalans have been planted on rival ground. All the chances of danger have been Barça’s, but the insistence has not been accompanied by effectiveness. The attempts were of all colors: from inside the area, from outside, from the head, with a cross shot or with an attempt at Vaseline. Until Alexia showed up.
The woman of the big dates, the best footballer in the world. Alexia Putellas has once again paved the way for a new Barça title. In the 42nd minute, when Madrid was looking at the locker room tunnel to catch their breath, Mollet del Vallès sent a pipe from outside the unstoppable area. Despite Ivana’s attempt to stop the powerful shot, Misa was only able to observe how the ball passed him without contemplation. Alexia is always there. Alexia is always present on the pitch, and also outside, to represent and bring the Barça colors to the highest level. The captain, clinging to his shirt and heading towards the fans, celebrated a goal that led to the title. Alexia, however, never has enough. Mollet struck Misa again, this time from inside the area with a cross shot at half-height just before the whistle that marked the way to the locker room.
The difference of two goals on the scoreboard has turned Johan into a party. The 5,430 spectators gathered in the stands erupted. The title was about candy, the job almost done, and the stadium, with the best entry in Johan’s history, has erupted in shouts of “champions.” The euphoria increased with the third goal. From the boots of Patri Guijarro has come a work of art that has made everyone rise from their seats. From the corner of the area, Palma’s shot hit a powerful cross to beat Misa, who was overwhelmed during the ninety minutes by the Catalan talent.
In addition to the Madrid goalkeeper, Babett Peter will be the other white footballer who will have a nightmare after the classic. The defense finished off a Graham Hansen cross to make it his own goal. The white despair contrasted with the immeasurable joy of Barça, who only had to wait 25 minutes for referee Arantza Gallastegui to signal the end of the match. Before, however, there was time for some more goals. Jenni Hermoso, the top scorer in the history of Barça, wanted to put the icing on the cake. The Madrilenian, thanks to an exceptional pass from Alexia, overtook Misa with a Vaseline from inside the area.
The league title is already in the pocket of the Barça team. The beating at Real Madrid, both in terms of football and results, has been accompanied by stands full of fans. The Catalans have encouraged their footballers to the point of exhaustion, determined to make history again, one more year. The League is already his, the next step will be the Champions League, also against Madrid next week. They want more, and they won’t stop until they get it.
