It could have happened and it has ended up happening: the hot notes of Atlético de Madrid - Barça (and III)

BarcelonaIt couldn't be. Here are some hot takes.

Even if it hurts. It's incredible that Barça is trying to make history with six Catalans, one Valencian, one Canarian, one Andalusian, one Frenchman, and one Portuguese in the lineup. Let's focus. Of the eleven players who went out to eat the grass of the Metropolitano, five were trained at La Masia and only three were paid a significant transfer fee. Only Cancelo, brought back this winter at 31 years old, increases the average age of the youngest team Barça has fielded in a Champions League tie in history, according to data from journalist Oriol Jové. A group led by the most fearless and uninhibited: Lamine Yamal. He was already the best in the world without question before a tie that re-enthrones him. Chin up, lads. There will be more.

Lenglet's gifts. Present in Barça's toughest European defeats against Liverpool and Bayern, the French defender compensated his former team, which paid for him to leave last summer, with two poor actions in the two Barça goals, which were insufficient. Lamine Yamal took advantage of a terrible pass from him on the break to beat Musso for 0-1 and Ferran left him behind with great ease before scoring 0-2. In the same way that Cubarsí's red card conditioned the tie in the first leg, Pubill's yellow and Hancko's injury detracted from the Mattress team's solidity. Something's up with Lenglet's downgrade in recent times. Where has that elegant center-back with the ball and strong in tackles gone?

The team's best defender. from Lenglet in recent times. Where has that elegant center-back with the ball and decisive in tackles gone?
