Barcelona –
Barcelona closed the first half of the match Liga Champions 2023/2024 against Shakhtar Donetsk steadily. The Blaugrana lead 2-0.
In the match at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, Wednesday (25/10/2023) evening WIB, Barcelona, which was still hit by a player crisis, fielded Marcos Alonso, Ronald Araujo and Yamine Lamal, who had just recovered.
Fermin Lopez, who started, was able to trouble the Shakhtar defense with several actions from the start. In the seventh minute, Lopez outwitted two players before shooting at goal, but was blocked by Dmytro Riznky.
Barcelona continues to attack Shakhtar but is still having difficulty scoring goals. Before the deadlock broke in the 28th minute through Ferran Torres.
Starting from Ilkay Guendogan’s cross into the penalty box, Fermin responded with a volley that hit the post. Torres quickly grabbed the ball and scored a goal.
VAR reviewed the goal because it was considered offside before it was approved. This goal made Barcelona even more enthusiastic about looking for additional goals.
The result was that Fermin doubled the score in the 36th minute. Receiving the ball in front of the penalty box, Fermin outwits one player before firing a hard kick into the left corner of the Shakhtar goal.
No more goals were scored until the first half was over.
