Adama Traore sets tone as Barcelona look to sustain La Liga momentum
Adama Traore will look to cement his status as the new darling of Barcelona this weekend after an impressive start to his Nou Camp career. Last weekend, he delighted fans in the 4-2 win over Atletico Madrid. One particular moment stood out when he nipped past Mario Hermoso, tumbled to the ground and a roar surged around the ground. Some stood to applaud, others yelled and pumped their firsts, convinced a free-kick earned a few metres into Atletico Madrid's half, with only two minutes gone, would set the tone for what was to come. For Traore, it was the opening note of an hour-long recital, the winger terrorising and harrying the Atletico defence, Hermoso in particular, until finally he began to fade. In the 61st minute, he was replaced and the Barcelona fans stood again, this time to give him a standing ovation. By then, Traore had set up a goal for Gavi, his drive to the line furnished with a perfectly lifted cross for the smallest player on the pitch to head in.
