Barcelona were surprised by Real Zaragoza last night and even though they won the match 3-1, Montoya believes that their opponents made La Blaugrana work hard for the win.
Barcelona faced Real Zaragoza in the Spanish La Liga over the weekend and even though the home side won the match 3-1, the score-line does not do justice the Zaragoza’s performance.
The away team was able to play phenomenally, even though they were to play at the Nou Camp, which is considered to be a fortress for La Blaugrana.
Barcelona took the lead with the help of Lionel Messi, but Real Zaragoza were able to equalize.
After four minutes, the Argentinean maestro, Lionel Messi, was able to impress on the left-hand-side of the penalty area and after getting past two Zaragoza players, he was able to pass the ball on to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-Song-c4804, who slotted the ball into the bottom right
corner to score his first goal for La Blaugrana.
Barcelona kept on trying to penetrate Real Zaragoza, but the opponents were able to impress defensively and only leaked in one more goal which came with the help of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296.
The Argentinean star received the ball right outside the box and curled it brilliantly to find the back of the net, giving the keeper absolutely no chance to stop the ball from going in.
Even though http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 won the match 3-1, Real Zaragoza were still the side who managed to impress many with their display.
The Catalan right-back, Martin Montoya, later hailed the performance of the away team and stated how it was difficult for La Blaugrana to penetrate through their defence.
“Today was a really tough game. We really had to work hard to win the game because Real Zaragoza put us in a difficult position.”
“In fact they really surprised us.”
“They played very well and had players in the middle of the pitch who moved the ball around very well.”
After winning their Spanish La Liga fixture, Barcelona have assured their eight-point lead over their arch-rivals, Real Madrid, who also won their respective fixture against Athletic Bilbao.
