That is much Barca Barca is a claim that can not be disputed, but if a team, whatever it is, you take away eight of the eleven stamps gala, their performance suffers, however much one trusts the quarry. Guardiola perhaps had no choice or perhaps it is Barca coach played knowledge that it was better than their Spanish international arrived well rested ahead of a season that promises to be high voltage, Mou on the bench of the eternal rival, although it would jeopardize the achievement of the first game of the season. Go figure, but the only thing certain is that Pep was a chance and face to face with reality as Sevilla oiled machine in the second half.
Because the famous Barca's alternative plan, Plan B of all life, worked to perfection in a light color first half of Barca. With homegrown-gallon assuming great job of covering Sergi Gómez and Luis Fabiano, Sevilla corseted by the atavistic fears that paralyze any rival absorbed facing Barca, children and men of Guardiola dominated the match without too much trouble.
Bojan gave a first warning after a great pass from Ibra that Almenar wasted before the output provides Palop and Navas almost scored on the next play with a low shot and crossed it safely diverted Miño, two actions that preceded both the Swedish brand's a home run of the house. Xavi who played Maxwell and Ibrahimovic finished off the first mesh filtering through the central Sevilla.
The game is sweet to put Guardiola and his men, because the Sevilla almost no signs of life, suffocated by pressure Barca. A Seville, all is said, had left with a single point at home against an opponent subdued. Romaric could tie in their only noteworthy move of the match, but the Ivorian focused when the easiest, and of course, was to try their luck shots on goal. And he could get the 0-2 after a brilliant action Jonathan Maxwell, very active all night, ended with no aim.
Renato's header deflected a corner kick that Alves and a balloon raffle that strolled through the Barça area after hitting Escude in the first suit, in the ensuing corner kick, was the only noteworthy before Muñiz decreed deserved rest in a pleasant night of Seville. The Plan B at the moment, it worked like a Swiss watch.
The second half, devastating to the interests of Barca began oddly with a new opportunity to pass. Maxwell's new center and a big hat Escudé Ibrahimovic who remained in shock for the courageous step uppercase nervionense, as Fazio came to the rescue by sending the ball corner. The Swede, who left shortly after his website to Messi, said on the pitch to those who advocate a move to English football.
Better with Cigarini
But Sevilla had improved with the input-and output Cigarini of Romaric, and was gradually besieging the goal of Minho. The young keeper made the stop culé evening to a close range header from Renato, but little could be done in the next attack rival. Go in-depth and Luis Cigarini Mino Fabiano beating a satin finish with a cross that slipped between the legs of goalkeeper Blaugrana.
Alvarez continued to move cards wisely and ushered Negredo and Kanoute. Barca gave a new shock with a spur footed Messi and Bojan shot high, but Sevilla had been uploaded to the beard permanently. So much so that both goals came together over Atletico.
In the first, beautiful center with the outside Negredo and accurate shot from the usual, which never fails in the end, Frederic Kanoute. In the second, heel de Navas, Perotti and header center almost at will giant Mali. Sevilla had turned the party and, incidentally, dynamited the Plan B of FC Barcelona.
In Seville ecstasy was a prodigious Perotti interned in which the ball ended up kissing the side netting, but the last minutes were color visitor. It was the swan song of A boat that was trying to redeem himself with a second goal to put things easier for the second leg, but neither door nor Palop Messi was surprising was left by a distant but powerful shot from Keita.
Thus ended the match with Sevilla keeping clothing and Guardiola considering the demanding work that awaits them within a week at the Camp Nou. By the way, Jesus Navas, who was also in South Africa and Mexico, played 90 minutes. He joined the concentration of Seville a week before the Barca's Spanish international to yours. Let everyone draw their own conclusions.
