Football Update: Spanish La Liga– Barcelona vs. Malaga– Second Half Report
(Part 2)
The Catalan Giants organized themselves at the back for the first time throughout the game. It was definitely the first real opportunity that fell for Malaga during the second half and Duda was the one who decided to take his shot on goal. Duda is known
for his stronger left foot and he is considered to be the second best left footed player in the Spanish La Liga – of course, the best being the Barcelona striker and the Ballon d’Or winner, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 who has scored 31 goals in the Spanish La Liga this season.
Duda stepped over the ball to take his shot on goal. The Malaga midfielder curled the ball over the La Blaugrana defensive wall and found the back of the net. The Barcelona number 1 was simply left screaming at his defenders who could not block the shot
taken by Duda. However, there was definitely no way for Malaga to get back into the game. Barcelona were dominating the game in terms of possession and shots on goal.
With the goal coming for the visitors, the crowd started to scream louder to give the team a wake-up call. The La Blaugrana did eventually wake up and it took them only 6 minutes to seal the deal. It was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Busquets-c33048 who did a fine job snatching the ball
in the opposition’s half as the Barcelona number 16 passed it towards Xavi Hernandez. The midfield maestro made a run forward and got past two Malaga players. Xavi then estimated the run of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Villa-c10629 on the left and delivered him with an inch perfect ball
which he easily took on his stronger right foot, got past the Malaga goalkeeper and scored the goal for his side.
It was a sensational goal by the home team who looked to be in total control of the game. They were dominating the play in all departments and it was definitely their night to be crowned as winter champions of the Spanish La Liga.
Chances kept on coming for the Spanish Champions as their coach decided to take off Andres Iniesta and Pedro Rodriguez and brought on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ibrahim-Afellay-c16547. The Dutch star replaced Andres Iniesta perfectly and made a good run on
the left flank as he passed the ball towards Lionel Messi who was still goal deprived during the game. The Argentinean simply misjudged the ball and couldn’t get at the end of it and a great chance was wasted by the La Blaugrana.
The match ended with the score line 4-1 as the La Blaugrana took all three points against the bottom half of the table side Malaga. With these three points Barcelona sit four points clear from Real Madrid who drew the game against Almeria. The Catalan Giants
have now managed to beat not one but two records. The Spanish Champions managed to score 61 goals in the first half during the first half of the season and this was for the first time that any team has achieved this. Moreover, they also equalized their own
highest number of unbeaten games – 27.
