Like many games this season against inferior rivals on paper, also yesterday (Wednesday) Barcelona had to sweat against Rayo Vallecano from the second division, but ended up with a makeover, 1: 2 and a ticket to the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey. Leo Messi, who returned from a distance to the squad, found the net and reached 15 goals this season, an achievement he has recorded in each of the last 15 seasons – definitely an impressive milestone.
The Argentine reached another not bad achievement at all, when he passed the legendary Joseph Smithier on the list of players who played the most in the Cup for the team. The star has 76 appearances, one more than a former player, when he also found the net in 54 cases – only 10 less than Smithier himself. The number 10 has won 6 trophies and is only one win away from the record holder Augustin Guinea, an Athletic Bilbao player in the 40s and 50s.
Messi raised his balance against Rayo Vallecano to 11 wins in 11 games, scoring 18 goals. He is now just one goal away from his 650 in Barcelona in 754 games, and already has 527 victories. At the end of the match, the star was photographed with the ball carriers, a picture they will never forget.
In Spain, they praised Barça for the victory, when the Mundo Deportivo wrote: “Response – after 3 beams, the entry of Jordi Alba changed the game.” In ‘Sport’ they were more restrained: “A reversal and a quarter – Barça was gray, but Koman’s substitutions woke her up.” Among the possible rivals in the lottery to be held tomorrow – Betis, Sevilla, Villarreal, Levante, Almeria. Two more teams will be added after completing the eighth tonight.
Alongside the good ability of the flea, the Catalans coach Ronald Coman He actually complimented Frankie de Jong, who has conceded four goals in his last 7 appearances for the team, more than he did in his previous 62 appearances together (3): “We are getting better and we must continue like this. “Frankie de Jong is a more complete player than he was at Ajax, and he can give us more things on offense and we need him.”
The Dutchman added: “I think we played well, we played our game even though the opponent pressed us well. We created a lot of valley conditions. After falling behind we responded excellently and won in a quality way. We should have scored more, but the team is working well. The most important thing is that we are in the next stage, I am satisfied with our character, it was a difficult month with a lot of away games. ”
Frankie de Jong Who scored the winning goal and raised his tally to 5 goals this season (4 of them in January) said at the end: “I have more goals because I enter the field more, we are happy with the victory and should continue like this, we want to fight for this title.” Ronald Araujo Continued on the same line: “The trophy is important to us and we will fight for it.”
