Twelfth final for Pep Team

FC Barcelona are through to their end of the twelfth was Guardiola. Despite heavy losses and undergoing a period of transition or, rather, recovery pace of the game and lost, the Blaugrana squad eliminated Valencia CF, thus breaking a streak friendly team che: the last four times that had faced in two-legged tie, Valencia CF had taken the upper hand.

With the urgent need to dial, Emery Banega recovered to the core, absent in the first leg, and opted instead Feghouli Piatti. However, the most important change did bound: Soldier short dress could not suffering from a bout of flu. His replacement, Aduriz gave the class in its struggle against the local exchange (won all the top), but lacked bite and definition in the final meters.

Guardiola again choose Puyol on the right side. At Santpedor not fall off the rings when the defensive priority in decision-making, though rarely so obvious to someone else's eye and in the substitution of Alves to the Alba-Mathieu tandem. None of the three hits, Pedro, Iniesta and Busquets was part of the starting lineup. The decline in the Badia, the man who plays in profile , and alignment of Mascherano in the center of the rear, to exercise carried Thiago Four.

The role of mixed Spanish-Brazilian great moments where we glimpse a future busquetista Four more millesco that, with very obvious errors. Be the base of the triangle naked any failure, however small, and Thiago made several losses which can really hurt you. Guardiola knows better than anyone and knows full well that losses from bad decisions is one of the edges that need polishing more Alcantara.

In the case of Emery's Valencia expected on boot che: excitement from the opening whistle, high blood pressure, man for man, and great physical strength. Barca is the lesson learned from previous chapters and also now has the output over Alexis. The Chilean took off another great match. Tireless and stubborn in the effort, seems to play on a motorcycle. It is the first to pressure the opponent and the first to get open but also to steal balls swell suddenly appearing behind any otherwise.

His humble nature allows it to fit perfectly well that must be continually working on Messi function: if the Flea is going towards the center, he leaves the band and vice versa. And this we must add the work of sapper done when your coach asks you to take care of clearing the land for the second line. A player to be polished but with tremendous potential to grow into a cornerstone of the present Barca and future. Playing where he plays, as he caught the couple point Alves-Messi, trio may go out of there!

After an initial burst of Valencia, Barca took control of the ball. With Xavi again in the field, the club returned to undergo a recovery period of lost rhythm. In January they lost, unable to control their verticality, the Blaugrana spent a month of games with more return than they can endure the long run. That little rhythmic journey through the desert has worn camber in the league BBVA , But it seems they are already way to recover the tone now that the return of Champions starts key stretch of the season. This requires, above all, Xavi again take command of operations. Yesterday it did in much of the game and that he lacked capital partners: Busquets, Iniesta and Alves.

Messi, the object of all bulbs, not scoring again. I write that sentence just for the pleasure of enjoying the absurdity of seeing it written. True disposed of chances to score and again, he found a gigantic Diego Alves. Question of aim, nothing more. Sometimes has, many created by himself and his contribution goes much further. In his mind was born the great pass that Cesc to Barca took the opportunity to advance with Vaseline before which it appears that Alves could do more.

Pinto, another favorite target of the "enemy trenches press" had much to do with the rating of your computer. Except Feghouli initial shot, all the chances of Valencia goalkeeper ended up in Puerto de Santa María, with special mention of a heads up that resolved with a good start at the feet of Jordi Alba. The Valencia repeated in the second half out strong from the locker room, but failed to get their hands before Barca confirmed that Emery was not being Banega night to replace Tino Costa.

With Alexis Basin and near the lines of lime, the club widened the field to make room for the central superiority. He played and played from side to side slowly consuming to Valencia, which was running out of legs for a final attack. At the key moment, Ecuador past the second time, the club put dirt in between with a second goal, this time from Xavi (personal record: he had never scored 11 goals in one season).

What's more, a quarter of an hour from the end lost by an absurd Feghouli second caution and that was that. Guardiola had time to offer an ovation to Alexis and Iniesta to reappear. We do not know or date-dependent on a possible Champions League finals and Champions League with Barcelona or Athletic-or place - habemus stupid controversy? - But what we can highlight are some issues of this boat: 12 th end of the Pep Team, surpassing the 24 th two-legged tie of the 26 he has played. Data brutal: over three and a half seasons has fallen only twice, against Sevilla Cup and Inter in the Champions League in the 2009-2010 season. Living history of football.
