From then they became so resistant and highly defensive is the time and we were able to secure that one goal without an equalization Real Madrid team tried to secure a goal but it was not possible.
As a result of the clever tactics used by Xavi, Madrid failed to make shots on target at home for the first time in the last 13 years. The second leg will be very beneficial for Barcelona, besides playing in front of his supporters, Barcelona has a capital of one goal at the Santiago Bernabeu.
To be honest, I would say Barcelona's victory in this match was a fortune. this match, did not present an interesting fight. especially Barcelona who play more defensively, Xavi applies more counter-attack strategies. which in the end, this fight was quite boring even though I'm happy that in the end Barcelona won the fight. but, for Barcelona's defense. I admit, that they played quite impressive and very disciplined. Xavi's strategy of rotating Araujo and Kounde worked out exactly what he expected, Barcelona's defense was stronger than ever. unfortunately, Barcelona did not display anything special in this fight. I know, without Lewandowski, Dembele, Pedri, Barcelona have lost their sharpness a bit.
On the other hand, Real Madrid's defense showed poor performance, which in the end Madrid had to suffer defeat in this match. Likewise with Vini Jr, he did not appear as usual. in the end, the Real Madrid players experienced frustration to break down the highly disciplined Barcelona defense. apart from all that, I hope in the second leg later. these two teams, will present a very interesting battle.
