The Super it feels great to Barcelona. If harvested a few days ago of Spain, on Friday night in Europe achieved at nothing more and nothing less than the Porto (2-0). It was a strange living in the Stade Louis II, where despite the result, the Portuguese did not put it simple. But there came a certain Messi, Helton first to outwit and set to perfection and then, when the rival lurking, think up a pluperfect assistance on Cesc, who has caught a few days with the elastic blaugrana titles at Arsenal achieved during eight. Crazy Porto finished with nine players and the club, extending a legend that seems to have no ceiling.
The start of the meeting brought a bold decision in Pep Guardiola 'XI'. Santpedor coach opted for a midfield with Keita, leaving the bench Sergio Busquets and focusing on a central axis of the defense every time unless circumstances: Mascherano and Abidal. And while the Argentine had an outstanding performance, as if he had played that position all his life, the Frenchman was more sufficient scraped, saved largely by the concentration of his fellow sufferer, always remove a possible Gallo's dismissal. Above, the regular artillery, consisting of Villa, Messi and Pedrito. On the other side, Vitor Pereira not saved any ace in the hole and put at stake their best men, with the Hulk as a champion. The Brazilian was without a doubt, the real headache of the Barca rearguard, especially in the first game.
Although the Portuguese league has already started and that the Spanish will do this weekend, neither showed his credentials. On a lawn that was not up to all a final between the winner of the Champions League and the of the Champions League, Barcelona and Porto began exchanging blows, without a clear owner of the game, although the possession was Barcelona. Thus, Peter was the first try. Then it was the Hulk, who mocked the pressure of Abidal and shot too far. One of the clearest chance before the goal Messi, Barca's starred triangulation after a beautiful Villa, Adriano and Xavi behind the wall of his two companions and receive the crescent of the area, sought to overcome one eluded Helton culé opportunity.
Without this constant lesson in football, Barcelona moved closer and closer to the Portuguese area. With that bit of luck, not through creative play, and the rascals that characterizes Messi, but totally involuntary assistance to the hole perfectly, served to light the '10 'was lit, was in a dogfight with Helton and after feint on one side to another, the Brazilian managed to raffle off to perpetrate the Blaugrana plan. It ran 38 minutes and the result, without much fanfare, was 1-0, with the result that the players were the way to the locker room. Porto, without fluency in their game and upset by a score perhaps excessive, was as little, scoring twice to turn it to the final.
After the break the match was another story. Substitutions, sometimes fatigue. A consignment of circumstances that made the game more attractive. Barca, on the one hand, began to shoot-made, feeling more comfortable. Porto, on the other hand, had the stopwatch against and isolated play could put him back in the fight for victory. Thus, it happened the best chances of dragons, most of them with distant shots. First Moutinho tried his luck but was Guarín the 'assistant' first goal from Messi, who brought out his gun in his right foot to test a splendid Victor Valdes. The porter was not so minutes later, when a lack of understanding with Mascherano, the Hulk was about to take advantage, but this time avoided the tie Abidal. The Frenchman, now with Alexis, Busquets and Cesc on the field and new faces also in Porto, made a clear penalty for Guarín that neither the referee nor his assistant saw.
Rolando, who minutes earlier had seen a yellow card for grabbing the sheepskin Messi, soon repeated action and also on the same player. The referee did not hesitate and drove Porto defender, puttingBarça win on a platter. And indeed, and for that matter, Messi held elected the best player of the year in Europe to bring out their range of delicacies to make up assistance to Cesc, who was in the area, and without dropping it pounded the leather to the net Lusitanian. Like when you agreed to 13 years in the cadets, their connection was lethal. Hence ultimately gave a hard time seeing unnecessary entry Guarín, which was also dismissed and a chance to initial Iniesta a marker that ended 2-0. Guardiola's pupils, with the conquest of the European Super Cup titles still collecting glass cases that refuse to lose the habit. Congratulations!
