Messi ends the dream of Mallorca

Leo marked a turning point and closed the ticket to the Final azulgrana of the Manzano rozaron feat. Won 1-0, Pinto stopped a penalty and with the input of Messi, everything is over

Mallorca's dream was not strong enough to become a nightmare for the Barcelona, Athletic Club will dispute the final of the Copa del Rey. Weighed on the first leg 2-0, but the approach is not entirely determined by Gregorio Manzano, who seemed more of a league match that required for the all or nothing.

Faced with a rival dotted with substitutes and designed to hold the result (although in Pep Guardiola promised yesterday that his team would "attack, offensive, aggressive, to score goals"), you andalusia Mallorca on the entire first part, which seemed to think quite the feat.

Yes it did during much of the second half, but their lack of league-basically, goal-punishing continued. Although everything could change if Marti had not missed the penalty before the 52 minutes. Debated on the significant downturn of Víctor Valdés, Pinto, the head doorman at the World Cup, returned to his post and saved, with a walk, stay in the competition of FC Barcelona. Until then, the 1-0 score indicated a hope for Mallorca. Golazo.

Dying the first time in Chori Castro received a pass from O'Shea cortito near the frontal area of Pinto. Cameroon away just to have the Uruguayan zurdazo a clean path for the right squad, which left ready for the test of cotton. Son Moix, previously frozen by the cold, gusting wind and rain, reacted with joy. There was life.

But nobody had the Marti failure or success of the Pinto. Even with the fear in the body, Guardiola threw his hand a talisman, the player who has already saved several hairy situations. Leo Messi came between the whistles of the bleachers, who feared the worst. Mallorca was never more after that penalty, and the game was becoming more and more sharp after entry of the Flea. Josemi an entry on the level of the game: he saw the second yellow and joined Cáceres, expelled in the absence of penalty.

Barça did not create the danger, a group backed, which flojeó both in attack and midfield in a theoretically designed to withstand (with Touré, Keita and Sergio). Mallorca is the obstinacy of the ball possession, but found little to Arango Keita and took a permanent error; with this, O'Shea bundle is in vain, and when Apple decided to make Aduriz it was too late.

Messi took advantage of an error Navarro, Lux was planted just before and with a touch signed left-handed master of the 1-1 (81). That ended the ordeal culé. The Mallorcan dream. On Saturday, FC Barcelona-Athletic, the final test.
