Kua whakamahia te Croatian puta noa i te pokapū mai i Sevilla i te raumati o te tau kua hipa, ana ka whakamahia pea i te turanga o te hanganga o Barcelona i nga wiki e haere ake nei. I whara a Sergio Busquets i te wiki kua hipa, kotahi noa iho te tono a Javier Mascherano mai i te whakatārewatanga, i te mea kua whakaae a Andres Iniesta kua kore ia me Xavi e mahi pai i roto i te kapa kotahi.

Ko Barcelona, me te whetu a Lionel Messi, e anga ana ki nga ra tino nui tekau me nga keemu ki a Manchester City me Real Madrid. Kei te whakangungu a Neymar i Barcelona i mua i etahi ra tino nui mo te karapu Catalan i roto i nga whakataetae e rua. Ko te tikanga ka noho pea a Rakitic ki te tūranga matua ki a Eibar i tenei wa, a ka taea e ia te hanga i te tuunga ki a ia ano i te wa e ora ana a Busquets. 'Ehara i te mea hou ki ahau te tākaro i taua tūranga,' ka mea ia. 'I tākaro au ki reira mō taku whenua i te tau whakamutunga. 'He tūranga rerekē tēnei, ā, he rerekē ngā pūkenga e hiahiatia ana, engari e tino mōhio ana ahau ki te tūranga. Ko Luis Enrique (i runga ake nei) ka whakarerekē pea i tana pokapū pokapū hei tiaki i a Javier Mascherano mai i te whakatārewatanga. I mahue a Barca i muri i ngā whakangungu a Jordi Alba i te Rāhoroi i te wā e whakarite ana te kapa Paniora ki te wikitōria ki a Eibar. Ko te kaitiaki Gerard Pique, ka honoa pea ki muri e Jeremy Mathieu, ka patu i te poi.

'Me āwhina koe i te kapa ahakoa he aha te tūranga e tākaro ana koe. Ko te mea nui ko te haere ki waho i runga i te papa, e hiahia ana ahau ki te takaro i nga kēmu katoa. ' I muri i te haerenga ki Eibar, ka arahi a Barca ki te 2-1 ki to raatau Champions League whakamutunga 16, te tukinga tuarua ki Manchester City i te Wenerei ka manaaki i a Real i La Liga i te Ratapu e whai ake nei.
