The FC Barcelona drew ( 1-1 ) against Tottenham in the party that closed the group stage of the Champions League . A result that did not affect the aspirations of the team culé, which reached the appointment already classified as the first group. And now there are 26 games of the Catalans at home in the Champions League without losing ..
Luis Suárez was the dismissed highlighted by Ernesto Valverde . The Txingurri left out of the list the Uruguayan, who has been showing up for a few days. The discomfort in the knee does not end up disappearing. The small injuries are diminishing the Uruguayan.
Instead, the headline on Tuesday was Munir , who played in the attack accompanied by Phillippe Coutinho , who regained ownership, and Ousmane Dembélé , who despite his lack of discipline continues to perform on the field.
Behind Arthur began , Ivan Rakitic and Carles Aleñá . In the rear played Nelson Semedo , Clement Lenglet , Thomas Vermaelen and Juan Miranda . Jasper Cillessen gave rest to the undisputed Marc-André ter Stegen .
Ousmane Dembélé dresses in Messi
And as we said, Dembélé returned to perform on the pitch. When the teams were still taking action, the Frenchman stole a ball in midfield and made an excellent goal. He started at a brutal speed, cut in another change of pace and before firing stopped the ball in another cut before opening the score. A goal worthy of a crack of the great.
The goal gave tranquility to the Blaugrana, who had something more controlled the game than the rival in the following minutes. Later the Catalans slowed down and Tottenham took the reins, but without any notable action. Those of Mauricio Pochettino preferred not to risk and to continue living without suffering cons. And the score did not move in the first half.
In the second part Valverde sat Rakitic and put Sergio Busquets and the clash followed the same script. The locals without doing anything that could give them problems. The spurs holding the defeat for the minimum. While Inter Milan was losing against PSV Enindhoven they were doing well. They were not going to risk receiving a goal in case they might need to squeeze in the final minutes.
In the 63rd minute it was Leo Messi's turn to enter . The Argentine replaced Munir . And after the entry of '10' , Icardi tied for Inter, which made the English enter the rush.
Lucas Moura, who had entered the 71 ', put Cillessen to the test with a dangerous shot, but the Dutch took it under sticks. The rebound favored the opponent, but the ball went wide.
Valverde decided to stop the spirits and made the third change. He put Denis Suárez in for Dembélé , who was cheered.
Lucas Moura ties for Tottenham and puts the Spurs in eighth
Meanwhile, Moura kept insisting. First was about to cause a penalty. And later he had an award for insistence. The carioca scored the tie 1 to five minutes from the end. The goal put the Londoners in the last 16 of the Champions League . Kane gave the assistance. And two minutes later a work of art of the battering ram, that put an impossible attendance to Rose , but the player sent the ball to the clouds.
In the end the marker did not move anymore. The culés closed thus, placidly, their performance in the group stage. The Tottenham , meanwhile, went to second round with second. The Inter goes to the UEFA Europa League after drawing with PSV .
But the news was not on the playing field. Not in Dembélé's goal . Neither in the classification of the Barça like first of group.
The wink of Kane to Messi
The remarkable event took place in the dressing room tunnel, behind the scenes. There, Kane looked for Leo Messi . The striker wanted to have a few words with the Argentine star. Harry congratulated him on the season that Rosario is signing and asked for the shirt.
A gesture that valued Leo , and is that the Argentine was in front of a footballer that in the last hours is sounding like Futur of the culé team. Kane can become the new ally in the attack of the Argentine.
Not because he wants to. If it were for Messi , Luis Suarez would stay forever by his side. But both the Rosario and the club are aware that Suarez does not have many games left in the Camp Nou . In January he will turn 32 and the problems in the knee do not look like they are going to get better.Bartomeu and Abidal choose the new Luis Suárez
In the entity they know it. That is why Josep Maria Bartomeu and Eric Abidal have been combing the market for some time in search of the new Luis Suárez . And Kane is one of the few players for which today would be willing to change the Uruguayan. Also Messi , who does not want anyone by his side. And less relieving his intimate friend.
For its part, the spur attacker would also not look badly land at the Camp Nou . He is very comfortable in Mauricio Pochettino's team . But a player of his caliber wants to win titles. And he begins to be tired of not raising a trophy. And in this sense, Barça is a very good option.
Kane chooses Barça
And after the gesture, the speculations that the player wants to leave and that among his wishes would be playing at Barça grow without stopping.
Of course, the option culé is better than that of Real Madrid , a team that is in a state of decomposition and has a long road ahead in its renewal.
The offer prepared by Barça
The drawback: Kane is an essential piece in Tottenham . Less the two games of the EFL Cup , the British has played absolutely everything. The 16 matches of the Premier League and six of the Champions League . 22 shocks in which he has scored 13 goals and has given three assists. In other words: getting him out of London will not be cheap for Barça . Josep María Bartomeu already knows that Damiel Levy will not put it on a plate.
They point from England that the club culé is preparing a brutal offer for the British. According to the Daily Star , the proposal would be around 150 million euros plus 50 in variables . And that for the low one.Florentino Pérez despairs
But regardless of the response of the English leaders, Haya offer finally or not, the one that is pulling the hairs is Florentino Pérez .
Only the white president would be missing to see one of his maximum intended serving the eternal rival. And he knows that if Barca picks up the phone, the thing can get very ugly in terms of signing him for Madrid .
