Rodriguez, debut and injury

—Antonio 

Candela is the starting line-up in Valladolid, on loan from Venezia and the only Italian currently in La Liga. Among Barça's second lines there is also room for a debutant: Dani Rodriguez, a boy born in August 2005 discovered by Real Sociedad and brought to La Masia 5 years ago. He is a winger who loves to target the man and who will remember yesterday evening for a long time since his debut lasted less than half an hour: in a tackle he fell on his shoulder, hurt himself, was bandaged and replaced by Lamine Yamal.

Valladolid, Ronaldo contested

— 

In Valladolid, the air is unbreathable. The team is already in Segunda and the fans show sincere hatred for the owner, the usually beloved Ronaldo Nazario, the Phenomenon. The relationship that began amidst general enthusiasm is ending badly: yesterday in the 12th minute the fans threw thousands of 500 euro tickets onto the pitch with Ronaldo's face, which he can't wait to sell.

Barça down by surprise

— 

At that point Valladolid were already ahead: at the end of the fifth minute a corner after a couple of rebounds ended up at the feet of Ivan Sanchez who looked for the goal from the right, finding Araujo's deflection that deceived Ter Stegen, who was returning to goal for the first time since his injury on September 22. Szczesny will be at San Siro because to re-enroll the German in the Champions League list, Barça must remove the Pole. Barça surprised and unable to react, with the Portuguese Ferreira forced to make only one good save on Pau Victor until the break.

Barcelona's comeback

— 

After the break, De Jong for Pedri (a change planned and maintained despite the result) and Raphinha for the off Ansu Fati. The Brazilian equalized in the 54th minute, goal number 31 of the season, with 22 assists. The Brazilian has scored as many goals this year as in the previous 3 combined. And in the 60th minute the game was overturned by a left-footed shot by Fermin who only received Gerard Martin's assist from the left in the middle of the area, returning to the goal after 15 games without a goal. For Barça 160 goals in 55 games.

Barcelona, mission accomplished

— 

Then the post by Hector Fort, Barça's 35th woodwork of the season, 26 in La Liga, and a good save by Ter Stegen on Latasa, the first of the evening. The excellent Candela saved a safe shot from Lamine Yamal on the line, Ferreira blocked a free-kick from Dani Olmo, who came on for Pau Victor, and the game remained open until the end.
