Coach Xavi’s team showed an impressive performance to consolidate 2nd place in the rankings.
In round 36 of La Liga, Barcelona had a trip to Almeria’s stadium.
Even though there are no more goals, coach Xavi still launched a quite strong squad. They dominated the attack and soon opened the score in the 14th minute thanks to Fermin Lopez.
This is the young Spanish midfielder’s 6th goal after 29 appearances in La Liga.
Although the home team tried to push their squad high in search of an equalizer, against Barca’s defense of many good players, they could not make a difference.
Meanwhile, after successful defenses, the Catalan team continued to increase the pressure. Lamine Yamal continues to become a constant threat in the right corridor with impressive stirring ability.
But the person who occupies the “spotlight” in this match must be Lopez.
In the 67th minute, the star born in 2003 completed a double, sealing the final 2-0 victory for the Catalan giants.
Rookie Vitor Roque also came on as a substitute, but he did not leave any significant mark other than receiving a yellow card.
Xavi was satisfied with his students’ performance. With current form, Barca can absolutely think about a brighter future for the new season.
They firmly consolidated 2nd place on the rankings with Girona playing poorly in recent matches.
