Press reports revealed the player who scolded Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski after the chances he wasted against Atletico Madrid in the last round of La Liga.
The match ended with a dramatic victory for Atletico Madrid, who came from behind, having been one goal down to score two goals at the “Montjuic” stadium in the 18th round of La Liga.
According to information from the Catalan newspaper “Sport,” which indicated that in the final minutes of the first half, with Barcelona leading 1-0, the team retreated slightly and gave Atletico the opportunity to attack more consistently. Although Barça was the better team, it aimed to maintain its lead until the end of the first half, waiting for any mistakes from the opponent to exploit on the counterattack.
During the minutes from 35 to 45, Lewandowski, who was responsible for initiating the pressure, positioned himself near midfield, which allowed Clement Lenglet to advance with the ball and play as though he were an additional midfielder. This caused problems for Barcelona’s midfield.
Gavi saw this as a clear flaw and did not hesitate to raise his hands, asking the Polish striker from a distance not to allow Lenglet to advance so easily. This situation was repeated several times, which led to Gavi’s frustration.
