I haven’t seen a great in Europe for a long time to fade out that way on a pitch. Well, no centuries have not spent: the unforgettable 8-2 conceded by FC Barcelona of Messi in Lisbon that August of 2020. The day before yester 1 in minute 80– diverted him from the batacazo. This time, the typical comeback of Real Madrid lacked epic and had a lot of prosecution of Puntillero. A closed by absence.
From the sinking of the City – although the return is and this football is inscrutable -, a resigned sowing of Pep Guardiola apart, I was surprised by the performance of the goal Ederson, Brazilian, 31 years. It is not about loading the owl of the defeat but of remembering to what extent – if we forget – the figure of the goalkeeper matters. Ederson starred in the play and with her the surrender.
Ederson, the city goalkeeper
At a shot of Vinicius inside the area, at all, the goalkeeper reacted without extending his arms and let the ball stroll between the neck and chest, as if instead of a Brazilian international were the kid condemned to the goal In the school patio. Not to stretch your arms … What would happen to you? When a goalkeeper rejects with the trunk, the ball goes where he wants and in the case at hand it went to Brahim Díaz’s feet. Double to two gifted and the vital collapse of the big cities. The invader already knows that there will be no resistance and has a hurry to finish.
Ederson’s birds sentenced the City and remind us that the goalkeepers, sometimes decide the titles
Drawn the Copa del Rey, profiled the round of 16 of the Champions League and adjusted the head of the League, a more relevant finding of what it seems (and if it is not relevant, let’s think of the nocita de Ederson and the condemnation that inflicted To the team): Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid have goalkeepers, FC Barcelona, no.
The goalkeeper has always been a Martian in a sport that is played with his feet. Rational animal of cold blood, the value and its insurance policy function is taken for granted. It is not expected to get fires but that they turn them off and if they are of dreadful magnitude – all the fires in the Spanish press were dreadful – it is expected to call insurance.

The imbalance in the position presented by FC Barcelona with respect to the two competitors – Curtois and Oblak – has gone unnoticed. The good Barca game has mitigated the adaptation of the Polish Wojciech Szczesny, Cat Viejo, who made the life of a retired professor this summer. What happens from now on, qualifying time and errors, will be a scale about the importance of the goalkeeper in modern times.
