"Barring the final ten minutes of the game, when they were under some pressure, it was a rather routine win for Barcelona, with them dominating the possession as usual, controlling the tempo of the game and creating threats from both flanks. Lamine Yamal opened the scoring in the first half while Ronald Araujo doubled the lead from a set-piece after the break. The hosts then threatened to mount a comeback, but Barcelona managed to hold on and get through."
"After the win over Elche, where Barcelona created 13 big chances but could take only three, last night they created eight big chances and took just two. To put into perspective, they converted one in 4.3 chances at the weekend and one in four chances last night. The ratio simply isn't good enough or sustainable, especially when one considers how clear and straightforward some of the chances created were."
Barcelona edged Albacete 2-1 at the same venue where Real Madrid and Celta Vigo previously faced Copa del Rey elimination. Barcelona dominated possession, controlled tempo and created multiple threats from both flanks. Lamine Yamal opened the scoring in the first half and Ronald Araujo extended the lead from a set-piece after halftime. The hosts pressed during the final ten minutes and threatened a comeback, but Barcelona held on. The team continues to struggle with finishing, creating numerous big chances yet converting at a low rate, leaving reliance on defensive solidity and luck.
