Barcelona (B2B) - Barcelona gagal menyalip Madrid di puncak klasemen yang hanya terpaut satu poin setelah Barcelona dipermalukan Malaga 0-1 di Camp Nou dalam lanjutan Liga Spanyol. Dengan kekalahan ini Barcelona tetap mengoleksi 56 poin, sedangkan Malaga 38 poin.
Barcelona menguasai 73 persen pertandingan, sedangkan Malaga 27 persen. Barca melakukan lima kali tendangan ke arah gawang, sedangkan Malaga tiga kali.
Malaga mencuri angka menit keenam. Berawal dari kesalahan pemain belakang Barca yang kehilangan bola, membuat Juami mengambil bola sebelum melesakkannya ke gawang. Barcelona 0-1 Malaga.
Meskipun Barca menciptakan cukup banyak peluang, Blaugrana tidak bisa membalas satu gol Malaga. Seperti menit 85 Neymar bekerja sama dengan Pedro, tetapi tendangan Pedro melebar.
Menit 90+3 Suarez melepaskan tendangan voli setelah menerima bola, tetapi bisa ditepis Kameni. Messi melakukan percobaan terakhirnya dengan memberikan bola kepada Pique. Meskipun demikian, Pique tak bisa menjebol gawang Kameni, seperti dilansir ESPN FC.
Barcelona - Barcelona were shockingly defeated by Malaga 1-0 at the Camp Nou on matchday 24 of La Liga. The Blaugrana failed to achieve a positive result despite enjoying 71 percent of possession, creating 11 goal-scoring chances and attempting nine shots, five of them on target.
Despite their impressive recent streak of positive results, Luis Enrique´s men failed to recover from the visitors´ early goal, and struggled to break Malaga´s robust defensive line time and time again.
While Malaga´s goal came after a clumsy mistake by Dani Alves after just seven minutes, the inexcusable truth is that Barca should have done more to bounce back considering the huge amount of time still left in the clock.
This upsetting home defeat is definitely not the best way to prepare for the many challenges ahead, starting with the decisive clash against Manchester City in Manchester on Tuesday.
The Blaugranas´ fourth defeat won´t help them climb up the La Liga table either, leaving Cules with little more to do than cross their fingers and hope for Real Madrid to blow their chance of extending their lead when they face Elche on Sunday.
