'Tarzán' Migueli made his mark by beating D'Alessandro

Summarised by MatchPal
Migueli scored his first Barcelona goal on 27 October 1974 against Salamanca, a low finish after a Cruyff assist in a 3-1 win at Camp Nou.
Miguel Bernardo Bianquietti, known as 'Tarzán', joined Barcelona as a defender but scored 27 goals across sixteen seasons. His debut goal came on 27 October 1974 in the sixth round of La Liga, Barcelona's second season under Johan Cruyff. Playing at Camp Nou against Salamanca, Migueli received a perfectly weighted through ball from Cruyff in the 57th minute and finished low past Argentine goalkeeper Jorge D'Alessandro to make it 2-0, effectively settling the match in Barcelona's 3-1 victory.
Migueli started in the Barcelona XI that day but was substituted late by manager Rinus Michels, who explained the change was due to accumulated fatigue. The defender had been forced to cover a thirty-metre gap left by Cruyff's attacking runs, requiring constant repositioning. Cruyff was directly involved in all three Barcelona goals that afternoon, providing assists for the first two and heading in the third from a Rexach cross.
A month later, Migueli scored again in a visit to Espanyol, but that goal proved bittersweet as Barcelona suffered a surprising 5-2 defeat.
