The statistics of this Benfica-FC Barcelona they show the new ridicule of the culés in Lisbon. The Barça finished another game of this edition of the Champions League without throwing between the three suits, after the 90 disputed before the Bayern on the first day, 180 minutes without the ball going to goal. Not only that it evidenced that the Barcelona It was worse, the statistics also show that the Blaugranas ran almost three kilometers less (116.6) than the Portuguese (119.3) in another sample of laziness.
The Barcelona was shipwrecked again on another nightmare night in Champions. The Benfica Jorge Jesús passed over him from minute 1. A goal from Darwin Nunez in minute 3 he dislodged the defense and embittered To have The steps. From there, they played what the Portuguese club wanted, comfortable on the counter and smelled the fear of Barça in the second half to conclude the second group stage win for the Catalans in just two days. Other 3-0. Another game with a clean sheet.
The statistics of this Benfica-Barça they show what was seen both in the Estadio da Luz and on the television of the Catalans spectators who contemplate in amazement another Blaugrana debacle. It was of little use to Ronald Koeman employ the old guard and place your desired three centrals. The Barça it was a ship full of holes in which nobody knew how to bail the water. Darwin Nunez and Rafa Silva they danced at will in Da Luz.
For the second time in a row in a match of Champions League, the Barça he consumed the 90 minutes of the crash without being able to shoot between the three sticks. It already happened two weeks ago before Bayern Munich at Camp New, the team was run over by the German machinery and they finished the game without intimidating News. This time I was under sticks Vlachodimos, but there were no differences. The culés fired eight times, five of them went directly outside and another three blocked by a defense of the eagles that seemed to have wings. Luke de Jong, in another disastrous match in front of the door and which shows the decision to choose him as a reinforcement, he had enough chances to change the destiny of the match.
The data before the Benfica it is more painful if possible. The Barça he needed to give a facelift to the image they gave him Bayern but the team repeated the same mistakes and the same difficulties to create danger and intimidate the Portuguese. The Benfica finished with 12 total shots, five between the three sticks of which three entered, another throw to the wood and five away from the goal of To have The steps. It was not the night or the German, who was outmatched in his area, the area.
But the data is not there, the Barça at times he could not dominate when the score was against. The Benfica took a step back when he made it 1-0, deciding to take cover and go out quickly to the counterattack with the legs of Darwin and the tempering and control of Yaremchuk, headaches for Araujo and Eric Garcia. The possession ended up being 42% for the locals and 58% for the Catalans.
Despite the need for the Catalans to turn the scoreboard around, who ran the most? If he Benfica. The Lisbon players finished the game by completing 119.3 kilometers for the 116.6 that the Blaugrana players added. 40 balls recovered from the premises by the 34 visitors. The Benfica doubled to Barça in duels won, 14 to 7. The Catalans, in their inability to take control and seeing themselves overwhelmed by the Portuguese, committed 14 fouls, saw five yellow cards and finished with 10 after the expulsion of Eric Garcia, which was again pointed out. Jorge Jesús’ team was called 12 fouls and they were shown only four yellow cards.
The Barça leaves from Lisboa last with zero points in his scoreboard of this Group E. The win of the Bayern Munich against Dynamo Kiev (5-0) leaves them first with six points. It is followed by Benfica with four after this devastating result. And in third place the Ukrainians, with the point gained against the Portuguese on the first day. For greater emphasis, zero goals in favor and six against for the Catalans who will face the next two days against him Dinamo from Kiev risking everything, not just dignity.
