It was in San Paulo, Diego Armando Maradona's sanctuary, Leo Messi provided one of his least impressive games of the season when Barcelona met Naples in the eighth Champions League final. Three days after a quartet in front of Ibar, the Argentine encountered a tough Italian defense, had a hard time threatening the gate, and concentrated on managing the Catalans' game. Although this was badly hit by Barca's crush, the Spaniards returned from Italy with a superb 1: 1 result that makes the decision in the Camp Nou.
In the first half it looked very bad in terms of the Spanish champion. Kika Stein put Arturo Vidal on the lead, and Barca showed a scoreless 45 minutes that included 70 percent possession of the ball and zero kicks to the frame. Naples, who came up with its fast-paced trio - Martens, Insignia and Cajon - made every Barcelona loss a threat to Ter Stegan's goal, and in the second also found the net. Junior Pirpo's mistake passed the ball to the Italians, and Martens took advantage of it to spin for connections and make 0: 1. It was the Belgian's 121st hair on the team, equal to the peak of the conquests of Mark Amashik.
The second half opened the same way, until the 57th minute Sergio Boscats cut the Italian defense with a genius ball, which Smadu turned into a cross ball that gave birth to Antoine Grisman's equalizer. The Frenchman was absent-minded until that moment, but Barca's first and final kick to the frame captured the important 1: 1 goal. That was the end result that left two asterisks in terms of the Spaniards: the Boscets absorbed yellow and would not reciprocate, as well as Vidal who was eliminated in two yellows.
the progress of the game:
1: Felix Brich got the run out.
30: SHER !! Naples rises to 0: 1 !!! Drys Martens got a great shot from Fabian Ruiz and sent a bomb to Ter Stegan's high net.
57: SHER !! Barcelona compares to 1: 1 !!! The Boscets put in a great depth ball to Samado, who sent a cross and Grisman in the right leg subdued Ospina.
