Hoy se cumplen 45 años de la conquista de la Recopa de Europa, primer torneo internacional que ganó el Barcelona.

BARCELONA — A la hora en la que este jueves el Barcelona de Xavi juegue en Almería un partido que le puede casi asegurar la segunda plaza closing en LaLiga se cumplirán 45 años de la conquista de la Recopa, primer gran título internacional que celebró el 16 de mayo de 1979.

El Barcelona había ganado dos veces la Copa Latina (1949 y 1952) y tres la Copa de Ferias (1958, 1960 y 1966), ambas ya desaparecidas en la década de los 70 del pasado siglo y cuya trascendencia e importancia quedaban muy por debajo de la Recopa, la Copa de la UEFA o, por supuesto, la Copa de Europa. Y no tenía ni uno de esos trofeos en su palmarés.

Muy distinto a un presente en que suma 22 títulos internacionales. Y que los nueve años que acumula sin lograr uno (en 2015 enlazó Champions, Supercopa de Europa y Mundial de Clubes) parecen una eternidad… Y si entonces, en aquel tiempo, celebrar un campeonato period casi una excepción, conquistar uno en Europa period una ilusión nunca vista.

Semifinalista primero en la Copa de Europa de 1975 (eliminado por el Leeds United) y después en la Copa de la UEFA (eliminado por el Liverpool en 1976 y el PSV Eindhoven en 1978), el Barça tomó parte en la Recopa de la temporada 1978-79 como campeón de Copa del Rey el curso anterior, habiendo derrotado en la closing al Las Palmas en el que fue segundo y último trofeo ganado por Johan Cruyff como futbolista.

Cayó el Shakhtar Donetsk ucraniano (entonces desconocido) en la primera ronda y en los octavos de closing se vivió el primer gran duelo contra el Anderlecht, al que le remontó el Barça el 3-0 recibido en Bruselas, igualando resultado en el Camp Nou y clasificándose por penalties. En cuartos de closing eliminó al Ipswich City inglés gracias al doble valor de los goles en campo contrario (ganó 1-0 en la vuelta tras perder 2-1 en Inglaterra) y en la semifinal superó al Beveren belga, ganando ambos encuentros por 1-0.

Se plantó de esta manera en la closing a jugar en Basilea el 16 de mayo de 1979 ante el Fortuna Düsseldorf, hoy en la segunda división alemana (jugará el play-off de ascenso) y en aquel tiempo uno de los clubes más fuertes de su país. Y aquella closing de la que se cumplen 45 años provocó la primera gran caravana de aficionados del membership acompañando a su equipo a una closing, cifrándose en cerca de 30 mil los que se desplazaron hasta la ciudad suiza de la que, curiosamente, period originario Hans Gamper, el fundador del Barça en 1899.

La closing respondió a la expectación y cumplió con los nervios que se adivinaban puesto que no se decidió hasta la prórroga, después de que el Fortuna empatara en la primera mitad, casi de inmediato, las dos veces que se había avanzado el Barça por medio de Sánchez y Asensi.

Incluso Rexach (especialista consumado) falló un penalti antes de que en el tiempo añadido marcara el tercer gol, previo al cuarto de Krankl que ya fue demasiado para un Fortuna que acortó por medio de Seel pero se quedó en el 4-3.

El Barça ganó aquella primera Recopa y celebró el éxito con una pasión desbordada que hizo olvidar una Liga en la que quedó relegado a la quinta posición closing (la peor clasificación desde 1965) y que fue el primero de los éxitos continentales que llegarían después.

Todo es muy distinto hoy en el membership azulgrana, donde se impone la necesidad de ganar cualquier competición en la que tome parte y las eliminaciones continentales son recibidas como sonoros fracasos. Tiempos tan distintos como es el entorno de un Barcelona cuya memoria le traslada hoy a aquel lejano 1979, cuando disfrutó de aquel título con todo el júbilo.

OKLAHOMA CITY – The Mavericks’ potential to regulate on the fly and their refusal to let one disappointing sport turn out to be two or extra is changing into greater than only a pattern.

It’s who they’re.

Coach Jason Kidd’s group continues to be as resilient as anyone within the NBA as they bounced again from Monday’s heart-wrenching loss to submit a dominant 104-92 victory over the Oklahoma Metropolis Thunder Wednesday on the Paycom Heart.

Luka Dončić, exhibiting a really centered facet that included a powerful resistance to chattering with the officiating crew, was the catalyst as he had maybe his finest sport of this playoff run with a 31-point, 10-rebound, 11-assist triple-double.

“Our mentality, we all know the final sport we performed in opposition to them at house, we let it go,” Dončić stated. “It was our errors they usually hit pictures. Within the playoffs, it’s the primary to 4, you bought to win earlier than they do. So you bought to go sport by sport.

“The entire crew stepped up. I couldn’t do it with out my teammates. Everyone that got here on the ground gave one hundred pc power. We play as a crew. We win as a crew. We lose as a crew. I’ve been having plenty of enjoyable with this crew.”

The Mavericks took a 3-2 lead within the best-of-seven Western Convention semifinals that they will shut out Saturday night time at American Airways Heart. Yet one more win will ship them to the Western Convention finals for the second time in three seasons. Their opponent would both be Denver or Minnesota. The Nuggets lead that sequence 3-2.

Groups that lead a best-of-seven sequence 3-2 go on to win the sequence 84 % of the time, so each the Mavericks and Nuggets are in a commanding place.

The Mavericks owe it to a sensational night time from Dončić, a protection that stifled the Thunder and a resolve that by no means allowed OKC to make any kind of stress-inducing run on the Mavericks within the fourth quarter.

Dončić’s efficiency got here after he scored simply 18 within the 100-96 Recreation 4 loss in Dallas. He recovered by main the Mavericks, who have been determined to get their second win in OKC this sequence.

It was a peaceful, diplomatic Dončić, too. He hardly ever had any phrases or arm gestures for the refs.

“The playoffs are laborious, mentally and bodily,” coach Jason Kidd stated. “And also you perceive that you simply’re not going to get any calls on the street. You bought to play by way of it.”

Stated Luka: “I simply tried to deal with basketball. We performed nice protection. A number of the little stuff we didn’t do final sport, we did as we speak. I don’t know what number of offensive rebounds they’d however they’d, like, 4 within the first 4 minutes and we cleaned that up.”

And as for the referees?

“Simply centered on basketball,” he stated. “Keep in mind the factor I like to do and simply play basketball.”

He additionally didn’t permit the followers to rattle him. Many have been hurling insults his approach and some wore T-shirts with Luka and a photoshopped pacifier in his mouth.

“I adore it,” he stated. “In the event that they wish to chant “Luka sucks.” It will get me going.”

Dončić had loads of assist. Derrick Jones Jr. stepped up with a scorching offensive night time, hitting seven-of-nine pictures for 19 factors. He performed his standard serving to protection on the different finish, too, because the Mavericks restricted OKC to only 25 % capturing from three-point vary (10-of-40) and outrebounded the Thunder 46-33.

Apart from the 2 throwaway video games on the finish of the common season, the Mavericks haven’t misplaced consecutive video games since they misplaced three in a row from March 1 by way of 5.

“I attribute that to our crew atmosphere we’ve created from the highest of our hierarchy, our president, our governors, all the best way right down to the tradition we’re creating as gamers,” Irving stated. “The teaching employees with J-Kidd main his guys, everyone has a selected function and we do our greatest to collaborate.

“We’re simply feeling like we’re within the trenches collectively, within the foxhole collectively. And after we reply that approach and are sincere with one another, these issues go a great distance.”

So does being sincere about what went flawed in Recreation 4, when the Mavericks had a wholesome lead solely to lose it down the stretch.

“(It’s necessary) understanding the distinction after we’re very a lot well-connected and likewise after we’re sort of splintered and the sport is flowing in a distinct route and we’re not being there for one another,” Irving stated. “We all know the distinction. And we confirmed one another tonight how to answer robust losses.”

Kidd and his employees made some changes, however Dereck Full of life II stated it was extra a case of the Mavericks merely doing what they’re speculated to do, and doing it higher than they did in Recreation 4.

“In fact there are going to be little tweaks right here and there, however on the finish, it comes right down to us being the aggressor, us going out and ensuring we cease the offensive rebounds and play collectively, have enjoyable and attempt to transfer on,” he stated.

When the Thunder reduce an 18-point lead down and obtained inside 90-83 on a Chet Holmgren slam with 5:15 to go, the Mavericks had their solely take a look at of the fourth quarter. P.J. Washington’s nook three-pointer on the subsequent Mavericks’ possession pushed the margin again to 10 and the Thunder obtained no nearer than eight the remainder of the best way.

Washington had fought foul hassle early on earlier than developing with 10 factors within the second half and likewise ending with 10 rebounds.

Throughout these closing minutes, the Mavericks seemed just like the poised veteran crew and the Thunder hoisted a number of ill-advised three-pointers that weren’t in peril of discovering the web. In brief, they seemed extra just like the youngest crew within the playoffs, which they’re.

However in addition they have performed each bit as laborious because the Mavericks on this sequence.

“If you miss of a tricky atmosphere like OKC with a win, you bought to have a good time that,” Irving stated. “We’re going in opposition to the No. 1 crew within the West they usually’re enjoying prefer it. They’re going to carry it Recreation 6 and we’ll be ready.

“This is likely one of the hardest sequence I’ve ever performed, so simply the main target stage needs to be at a stage that displays that. We’ve what it takes to win. But additionally, we perceive we’re not going to get there with out guys feeling like their finest selves.”

THE MODERATOR: Tiger Woods is becoming a member of us, again on the 106th PGA Championship.

Q. Tiger, it seemed such as you have been transferring fairly effectively bodily. Do you’re feeling like — I do know day-after-day is totally different for you, however do you’re feeling like zooming out you are getting stronger?

TIGER WOODS: I get stronger for certain. It is simply that I simply do not play an entire lot of aggressive rounds. I have never performed for the reason that Masters. So it is somewhat bit totally different than being at residence and taking part in a flat Florida course.

Q. You spoke about what occurred Saturday at Augusta. Is {that a} factor you know the way your physique — are you able to inform the evening earlier than? Do you not know till the morning of or once you begin swinging the membership?

TIGER WOODS: Every day is somewhat bit totally different. Some days, it is higher than others. It is simply the best way it’s. My physique is simply that method. Some days, it feels nice, and different days, a little bit of a wrestle.

Q. Do you’ve gotten a goal ball pace in thoughts or a quantity the place you’ll be able to say, I am quick or gradual at this time?

TIGER WOODS: No, I do not even know what my ball pace is. I could not inform you. I do at residence on the vary, however once I’m out right here at a match, I do not have a look at any of that. I am simply making an attempt to hit photographs and hit the ball on my numbers greater than anything.

Q. How a lot of the primary inexperienced may you see on your second shot on the primary?

TIGER WOODS: I may see the entire inexperienced. I may see it beneath the timber. I simply needed to go round a number of timber. Hit a pleasant little draw 8-iron in there. I used to be anticipating to hit it simply left of the inexperienced and chip again up, nevertheless it dug in and landed smooth and dug in and had a 25-footer.

Q. How would you price that shot by way of issue?

TIGER WOODS: (Laughing). You have seen me play. I’ve hit a number of photographs out of the timber.

Q. You stated the opposite day you would like you have been somewhat sharper. Wherein areas did you suppose you have been higher than you thought you could be or possibly have been you not — have been you form of the place you thought you have been at this time?

TIGER WOODS: It is simply the aggressive circulate. It took me most likely three holes to get again into aggressive circulate once more and get a really feel for hitting the ball on the market in competitors, adrenaline, temperatures, inexperienced speeds. These are all issues that usually I modify to in a short time, and it simply took me a number of holes to get into it.

Made that putt on 12 and bought me going and made one other putt on 13.

Q. Up to now few years, even in the event you’ve needed to withdraw from majors, you have nonetheless made the reduce. You have nonetheless succeeded in doing so. I am questioning in the event you suppose there’s an artwork to taking part in a sure method and grinding out a made reduce that you just appear to know higher than others?

TIGER WOODS: Effectively, you’ll be able to’t win a match except you make the reduce. That is the entire concept is get to the weekend so to take part and have an opportunity to win.

I have been on the reduce quantity and have gained tournaments, or I have been forward and main tournaments and I’ve gained tournaments. However you must get to the weekend so as to win a golf match.

Q. I believed the tough was tougher than what I used to be anticipating after watching apply rounds. Might you discuss that? And I do know the three-putt on 9 was irritating, however I believed you —

TIGER WOODS: And eight.

Q. You had greater than 90 toes in putts at this time. Might you deal with these two.

TIGER WOODS: Effectively, I three-whipped the final two holes. Wasn’t superb. Unhealthy pace on 8; whipped it previous the outlet.

And 9, hit it quick. Hit it off the heel of the putt and blocked the second. So wasn’t superb on the final two holes.

However what was the primary a part of the query?

Q. The tough.

TIGER WOODS: Yeah, the tough is dense. It is simply very dense. With the rain we bought and simply the moisture on it, I do know they’ve topped it off, nevertheless it’s simply actually lush.

You will get lies the place it sits up. You will get a 3-wood on it. And there are different lies — a pair occasions I needed to pitch out sideways. I laid up at 13 and 14 — sorry, 15.

Relies on the lie, and you do not have to fret about that in the event you drive it within the fairway, and I simply must do a greater job of that.

Q. Clearly most of you guys, you do not win most weeks. You must be very resilient. What is the second in your profession or the stretch of golf that you have had in your profession the place you are proudest of the resilience that you just confirmed?

TIGER WOODS: Effectively, I believe that I’ve made a number of cuts in a row, what was it, 140-some odd.

So you must simply grind it out. It is a marathon. Main championships are a protracted grind. It is simply plotting alongside. It isn’t a dash. It is only a grind.

I had a number of years the place I used to be capable of take part for a really very long time.
