Andrés Iniesta has put an end to his time in the League and at FC Barcelona, in a match in which the Blaugrana beat Real Sociedad (1-0), and in which the Barcelona captain left nothing to return to provide glimpses of the magic that it still treasures and that you will now enjoy in Asia.
In a night full of emotions, more than football, Xabi Prieto also came out in the last minutes to play his last episode with Real, with a standing ovation also from a Camp Nou dedicated to the two who say goodbye.
The first half was dull and, although both teams Binance App Users Data had their chances, it was clear that the match lacked a minimum of incentive, since neither of the two had absolutely anything at stake in a League that had already been decided.
Without Messi on the field for the second consecutive game (he already rested against Levante), Iniesta tried to push his team when Barça started to attack , but he did not have the complicity that he finds in the Argentine with other partners, such as Dembélé and Coutinho, among others.
La Real had very few problems in putting Barça in trouble, and before the 10th minute, they had already forced Ter Stegen to take the ball on two occasions, in the 2nd minute with a header from William and in the 7th minute with a shot from Januzaj's front, in which the ball ended up in a corner.
Iniesta, the most active player of the Blaugrana, responded in the 10th with a low shot, which ended with the ball on the side of Moyá's goal.
Without a clear dominator, despite the fact that Real always retreated with many players in the Barça's static attacks, Barcelona chose not to waste the counterattacks, although none of them ended in success, especially due to the mismatches in the pass.
After a quarter of an hour, Piqué had it at the penalty spot, but the ball bounced off him beforehand and his shot lacked strength and success. Rakitic was also not accurate in a header from Démbelé's center in the 24th minute.
The game was for those who put a bit of bite in front, and in these, Real had two good opportunities in the last five minutes in which in the first Rakitic entered the court for the fortune of his team and neutralized the attack , and in the second again William was unsuccessful in a shot.
On one of the many times that Dembélé attempted his ride on the right alone, Raúl Navas caught him by entering his support foot when the Frenchman was already going towards Navas. Despite the spectacular tackle, and the fact that the Frenchman required medical attention, Dembélé recovered and the play ended in a direct free kick without further ado and a yellow for the Basque team's center back and another for Suárez for protesting, in the 43rd minute.
