About to win the League of the little horses
While Lamine Yamal, Fermín and all the children were celebrating the victory, I thought that Johan would have been very happy watching them, because this new generation, who have not seen or heard much of him, play football according to Johan Cruyff, who said: "You will score one goal more than the opposite and you prefer to win 5-4" than.
That's how these kids play, out of desperation for those of us who would have liked a little more doctrinal certainty. Despite the disappointment of the Champions League and the exhaustion of extra time in Milan, we hadn't even finished lamenting "we can't start every game losing 0-2" before another joyful comeback had begun, with a second goal from Lamine Yamal against Courtois that heralded what was to come. The Barça players knew it, Madrid knew it, and the fans knew it, all riding on the craziest and most fun horses seen at Can Barça since those spectacular yet fragile matches with which the Dream Team won their first European Cup and four consecutive league titles.
Yes, to beat Barça, they must overcome their errors, which are notable, especially when defending, and they must overcome the opponents' successes and the referees' mistakes. Tchouaméni should have been sent off midway through the first half when he brought down Ferran Torres, who was going free. And Hernández Hernández's failure to award a penalty for the player's own handball was scandalous.
This La Liga, which was supposed to be Mbappé's in a sea of Real Madrid titles, will end up being Barça's, with a 16-7 record in the four wins over Real Madrid in the four matches this season. Within a week, Barça will be champions of the La Liga.
