The replay of the 2021 final had a very different outcome. Barça got the thorn out against Sporting de Portugal and won the title. In Riga (Latvia) a 2-0 was not allowed to be traced, but increased the score shortly after the break, and was able to head into the final minutes with some calm to exact revenge against the Portuguese team for the defeat in Zadar (Croatia). Sweet revenge, with an incontestable win in which he collaborated until Dídac from your area.
The fourth Barça Champions (in a decade) places the section one behind Inter Movistar (5), the almost unbeatable team he built Jesus Velasco since Barça conquered the first (2012). Ten years later, he has directed the Catalans since last summer. “No coach can promise titles,” said the coach in his presentation. He doesn’t promise them, but he earns them. For now, he has already returned Barça to European glory, in addition to having won the Spanish Cup and the Super Cup this season. The team is also a leader in the League.
Ferrao He reappeared on Friday after his injury and in the final he was already a starter. His valuable goal against Benfica (3-2) and his category of being the best player in the world (for the third time) invited Velasco to lay the foundations so that the team could command. The anguish of the semi-final was an experience that could not be repeated.
Lozano’s 300th goal
Of course, Ferrao scored. The third goal, as beautiful as the heel of the injury. He punctured a precise long ball from Ortiz with his left and nailed the ball into the top corner with his right 26 seconds after the restart. The honor of the first goal went to the legend of the team.
It was signed by Sergio Lozano, four-time European champion as the section –the only one to have won four Champions League titles–, with a delicate left-footed shot, a semi-Vaseline over Guitta, sealing goal number 300 dressed as a Barça player. There was no better for the event.
It was the fourth time that the final had been reissued and the third consecutive in which Barça was present, having played six. The poise of the team was noted after the turmoil experienced on Friday. Velasco, the coach with the most appearances in the competition, emphasized conveying the necessary serenity. The same patient remained Sporting, who last year raised an adverse 0-2.
Ferrao’s lace
He looked the same as then, in the same situation and kept the game plan, without speeding up, in the best Barça phase, in the epilogue of the first half, after Pito struck the second blow, in a ball that he stole in the dividing line and could run alone until facing Guitta. Ferrao’s goal that widened the disadvantage discouraged the Lisbon team. They came to the conclusion that history would not repeat itself and began to leave gaps behind that made Barça’s attacks easier.
