A boss Messi, a Suarez who continues, but also the difficulties of Cristiano Ronaldo and coaching Zidane in question: find the Tops and Flops of the editorial team after this match won by FC Barcelona against Real Madrid, at Bernabeu (0-3).
TOPS
Messi, as usualLionel Messi loves Bernabeu, it becomes a certainty. He also likes to face Real since he has now scored 25 goals against the rival, including 15 in Madrid. Still decisive with a goal on penalty and a decisive pass, the Argentinean was especially present in the second half when his Barça was in power. Author of nine key passes (passing shots), he was still the executioner of the Real by his movements always well felt and his choices right.
Suarez unlocked BarçaLess buoyant this season but back in shape in this month of December, Luis Suarez was the man who unlocked Barça in this Clasico. For a long time discreet, by missing a lot of relay in the first period, the Uruguayan was sharper after the break. After a first missed opportunity (53), he opened the scoring by showing coolness in the area against Navas (54th). Author of two big opportunities on the action leading the penalty, he was interesting by his incessant calls in the depth.
Sergi Roberto, interesting in his relaysStill aligned right side, the executioner of the PSG last March was interesting to rush into the spaces. Requiring Marcelo to be very vigilant on the wing, the Spaniard was able to take initiatives in the second half and gave a decisive pass to Suarez on the opening score. Finishing in the middle, he was good in the out ball.
FLOPS
Ronaldo, a day withoutThe Portuguese had a very complicated match in this Clasico. The fivefold Ballon d'Or started with a goal denied for offside (2nd), before missing the ball in the ideal position in the surface (10th). A big opportunity that followed another with a cross shot well repelled by Ter Stegen (31). But obviously blunt, the Real player disappeared from circulation after the break. Uncertain before the game, it did not seem 100%.
Zidane was not inspiredThe starting lineup delivered a nice surprise in this Real with the start of Kovacic in the middle, while Isco was expected. Zinedine Zidane thus wanted to strengthen her environment to face this untouchable Barca. It rather isolated the Ronaldo-Benzema duo, struggling to shake Barcelona's defense. Above all, Kovacic is at fault on opening the Blaugrana score by letting Rakitic go full axis at the start. The expulsion of Carvajal has finished completing this Real, which will now focus on the Champions League and the double-confrontation against PSG in February and March next.
Since
the beginning of the season, the Argentinian Barça, who moves to Madrid
this Saturday (13h), has touched 12 times the amounts of opponents. That's twice as much as any other player in the five major European leagues.
Sunday,
December 17, against Deportivo La Coruna, FC Barcelona scored four
times (4-0) thanks to the doubles of Luis Suárez and Paulinho. No
Lionel Messi on the horizon, yet top scorer in the Spanish league (14)
but the Argentinian was at the origin of the two goals of his midfielder
.... touching the poles. Each time Messi fired, hit a Ruben amount and then the ball came back in Paulinho's feet. A frustrating evening since the Argentinian struck again on the bar and was stopped a penalty. This
Saturday (kick off 13h) FC Barcelona moves on the grass of the Santiago
Bernabéu stadium of Real Madrid for the first official Clasico of the
season. A historical poster whose "Pulga" is the top scorer with 24 goals in all competitions.Almost an amount hit per hour of play
">
Messi brand but also often touches wood. Bad luck or vagueness? Still, this particularity does not date from last weekend. Since the beginning of the season, Lionel Messi has touched 12 times the posts (or bar) opponents. Twice
as much as Harry Kane (Tottenham), second best scorer in Premier League
(12) and any other player of the five major European leagues. Aubameyang (Borussia Dortmund), Ronaldo (Real Madrid) (5), Dzeko (AS Rome) and Immobile (Lazio Rome) (4) complete the picture.The singularity of Messi's statistics is found by comparing it with that of Kane. The
Englishman tried 100 shots, a figure similar to that of the Barcelona
(104), but the latter has hit twice the amounts (one every 8.6 shots for
Messi against one all 16.6 shots for Kane). Another significant fact: the Argentine touches a pole (or bar) every 67.5 minutes of the championship. In
comparison, Cristiano Ronaldo, whom he visits on Saturday (13h) for the
first official Clasico of the season, has hit five posts in eleven Liga
matches. The Madrilenian has the following averages: one amount every 2.2 matches and every 14.6 shots.
Emmanuel
Macron woke up early Friday with hundreds of French soldiers deployed
in Niger, assuring them that "the effort" will be "maintained" in 2018
to fight against jihadist groups in the Sahel. "It's a
great pride to be here with you tonight," said Emmanuel Macron, who had
been keen to respect the presidential tradition of visiting troops
abroad for the end-of-year festivities. .
"For
you, the truce (Christmas) is not allowed and that we do not forget,"
he told them in front of the home of this vast base installed at the end
of the airport of the Nigerian capital . "We have a thought for your families, they carry the weight of your absence. They deserve our recognition and our support, "he added, the serious tone.
After
the Marseillaise, the president took place, among the soldiers, for the
gala dinner specially prepared by the head of the Elysee, Guillaume
Gomez, arrived from Paris the day before. With products
wholly offered by the wholesalers of the Rungis wholesale market, near
Paris, the chef has prepared a high-flying menu: Elysée veal-foie gras
pie, roasted Hautes-Pyrénées poultry with morels and cheese platter from all French regions. The meal ended with a "Happy Birthday" sung by the audience after the 40 years of Emmanuel Macron. "I am very moved," said the latter, before cutting a big cake blue-white-red.
The head of
state has thus treated the army, five months after the disorder caused
by the shock resignation of the chief of staff, General Pierre de
Villiers, disagree on budget cuts. His successor, General François Lecointre, is present in Niamey. "I
trust you", especially to carry out the struggle in the Sahel, which
"is a priority" because "this is where our security, the future of part
of the African continent is at stake". "We must not leave
the Sahel to terrorist organizations (...) (we must not) that we give
them the least bit of territory," he added, accompanied by the Minister
of Armies, Florence Parly.
The 193
countries making up the UN General Assembly vote on Thursday a
resolution condemning Washington's recognition of Jerusalem as the
capital of Israel. Donald Trump has threatened the countries that would go in this direction on the eve of the poll.
This time, the United States will not be able to veto. The
UN General Assembly votes on Thursday for or against a resolution
condemning Washington's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of
Israel. Before the election, US President Donald Trump threatened countries that would support the resolution. "They
take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars and
then they vote against us," stormed the US president on the eve of the
vote. "Let them vote against us, we will save a lot, we do not care".
The United
States vetoed Monday during the Security Council vote, and US Ambassador
to the UN Nikki Haley called the vote "an insult we will not forget". The other 14 members of the Council, including France, China and the United Kingdom, voted in favor of this resolution.
But for Thursday's vote, no country has the right to veto. The 193 members will therefore vote to adopt or not this resolution, which is however not binding. The
text, proposed by Yemen and Turkey, states that any decision on the
status of Jerusalem "has no legal force, is null and void and must be
revoked". He recalled all the resolutions adopted
by the United Nations relating to the colonization of Palestinian
territories and stressed that the question of Jerusalem must be part of a
final peace agreement between Israelis and Palestinians.
Threats and pressure shots
The
double vote organized at the initiative of Palestinians, who have
observer status in the Organization, aims to maximize their weight in a
possible future peace plan, says a diplomat. Several ambassadors count on a score oscillating between 165 and 190 votes for. "If it's 130, it would be bad," says one of them.Like Donald Trump, Nikki Haley has increased threats and pressure in recent days. Thursday, "the United States will note the names," she said, for example, in a tweet.
These American warnings, from the president and his ambassador, have stunned many UN diplomats. "This is not how it works, we vote on principles," says an Asian ambassador on condition of anonymity. "You can not vote A for years and suddenly vote B," says a Latin American counterpart. Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki, who will attend the vote, denounced Washington's "threats" and "intimidation". United Allied with NATO, Turkey has also rebelled. "The world has changed. The logic of 'I am strong, so I am right' has changed. "No
nation that has the honor, no self-respecting state is bowing to this
kind of pressure," said Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Cavusoglu.
