Barcelona so brilliant and yet so close to elimination due to wastefulness
Поенти:
Such a controlling performance should have resulted in a more comfortable victory.
The home side were utterly controlling...and they also created a plethora of good openings, yet they scraped through to the last eight by a surprisingly narrow margin.
Some of the incisive attacking football Barca played was wonderful, but though it may sound churlish to criticise such a powerful display of passing, the Catalans were woefully inefficient when it came to converting chances.
Pep Guardiola should be concerned about the regular wastefulness in and around the box when promising positions were manufactured.
All too often la Blaugrana aimed to embellish their play by beating an extra player or by completing an extra pass, which looks wonderfully artistic when it comes off, but there can be little doubt that it cost them goals, and therefore security, on Tuesday evening due to its sheer inefficiency.
But while this moment of genius worked to great effect, there were several other clear-cut scoring opportunities that were squandered simply because of the home side’s desire to add a touch of flair to their play.
It’s one thing to entertain the supporters when cruising on the scoreboard, it’s another entirely to do likewise when nothing is wrapped up.
Barca were close to paying a heavy, and somewhat unjust, price for their showmanship...but their late scare against the Gunners should serve as a reminder to Guardiola.
Потврда на она што го тртљам и од неутралните аналитичари. Загриженост, загриженост...Пеп, остај грбот и фаќај се за работа!
