The peak battle at Anfield Stadium in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals is still gripping.
Liverpool's three-goal lead did not last long before the gap was narrowed by Barcelona.
Situ Yunbing kept making gestures on the sidelines to calm the team's mindset and not be affected by the loss of the ball.
In the 58th minute of the game, Liverpool made a quick break in the frontcourt. Gareth Bale retreated from the left to receive Eriksen's pass. Seeing Alves coming up to press, Gareth Bale quickly cooperated with Lewandowski, who was actively running to meet the response. He stepped forward and then dribbled the ball and cut in!
Alves chased back and was able to chase after a beat, but could not complete the pressing and stealing.
Gareth Bale knocked the ball back diagonally back to the right side of the penalty area when facing Pique.
Erikson quickly stepped forward and hit the ball directly!
The football flew straight to the near corner of the goal. Bravo was a little hesitant to save this time, but the football flew out of the baseline against the outside of the right post.
call!
The Liverpool fans felt extremely regretful.
"Erikson's shot slipped past! The difference is slight!
Liverpool's offense on both wings today was very effective. Barcelona's defense line was not invincible. There is nothing unexpected. In the past years, Barcelona has been better at using attack instead of defense. If they were allowed to resist the opponent's offense head-on, their defense would not be so safe."
Barcelona regrouped and quickly organized the offensive. After 60 minutes of the game, Barcelona had to speed up again!
They are racing against time, but whenever they speed up, Liverpool's powerful sniper will disrupt their pace.
In the 64th minute of the game, when Neymar was knocked to the ground by Azpilicueta on the side, Neymar rolled around while howling in pain.
Azpilicueta's expression was a little helpless, and even laughed and shook her head.
He did knock Neymar to the ground, but he knew whether he had exerted force or hit the opponent's weakness.
Although Neymar's rolling all over the ground really made Liverpool fans sneer, his performance could give Barcelona an advantage in terms of punishment.
The referee showed Azpilicueta a yellow card.
Barcelona set-piece attack.
Iniesta's ball that was crouched into the penalty area was cleared by Van Dijk's header!
Gareth Bale sent the ball to Robertson outside the penalty area, who passed the ball diagonally to the center zone on the side.
Lewandowski was pressed by Mascherano when he was in possession of the ball. He dribbled back and opened the distance from the opponent, then turned around and passed the ball to the right side of the frontcourt.
Everyone saw Mbappe reaching Barcelona's halftime with lightning speed. Alba quickly returned to defense, but everyone was surprised to find that Mbappe was gradually shortening the distance with Alba!
When Alba was less than two meters away from the football, Mbappe suddenly broke out from his side and cut into the track in front of him and grabbed the ball first!
He stopped and swung the inside and rushed to Barcelona's penalty area.
Just kill!
When Barcelona goalkeeper Bravo attacked outside the penalty area, Mbappe calmly shot a lob!
The football began to fall after it crossed Bravo's head!
Before the football flew into Barcelona's goal, Mbappe turned around and ran to the sidelines to celebrate the goal!
The football bounced into the ground in the small penalty area and flew into Barcelona's goal!
The deafening cheers of Reds fans echoed in the Anfield Stadium!
Situ Yunbing opened his arms and laughed at the sky!
"Mbappe scored a single shot! What a wonderful shot!
This is the second gorgeous rainbow that appeared in Anfield Stadium today’s game!
Liverpool led Barcelona 4:1 at home and led Barcelona 7:5 with a total score!
Judging from the timing of this goal, there should be no hope for Barcelona to turn the tables!
Liverpool will eliminate Barcelona at home and advance to the Champions League semi-finals!"
Enrique lowered his head slightly, hiding his gloomy look, and his face was full of determination when he raised his head again.
In his player age, he was the toughest representative of Camp Nou. As the head coach, he deserves to show this side.
He knew he had lost!
If he was immersed in huge setbacks and was numbed by pain after the defeat in the Champions League final last year, and ignored the connotation of the match, then he could more calmly and objectively examine the gap between himself and Situ Yunbing in these two matches this season.
In other words, whether it is the first round or the second round, can he command on the spot like Situ Yunbing under the same circumstances?
Even if I think about it, I probably don’t have the courage to do it.
Just as Situ Yunbing told him a week ago that Barcelona must find the right way.
This is not a puzzle, we know the answers to each other.
But Enrique can't do it, Barcelona can't do it.
But he had a feeling that if it were Situ Yunbing, he could do it for victory!
Just like in the first leg, he could allow Liverpool to play a traditional British style offense to turn the situation around, and he could use two substitutions in the first half today!
Situ Yunbing is really a lunatic!
Enrique sighed so much in his heart.
If most of his energy is devoted to Situ Yunbing's most common traits, he may not think he is different.
But at the critical moment, Situ Yunbing is the real choice of one in a thousand.
Situ Yunbing made a gesture to the team before Barcelona kicked off again, asking them all to retreat, and then began to slow down, slow down the pace of the game, and switched to control.
Liverpool has already played enough to switch to position defense now.
Barcelona are eager to attack. If they can score two goals before the end of the regular time game, they can drag the game into overtime!
But this premise is that Liverpool will no longer score goals!
When the Tridents ran to the front to respond, Iniesta encountered difficulties in the midfield. After Liverpool's midfielder retreated, the midfielder siege against Barcelona became even more crazy, which made it difficult for them to pass the ball to the front players smoothly.
After the return pass, Alba made a long pass in the backcourt, but the football was headed by Koulibaly at the front of the penalty area.
After Lewandowski took the ball, he immediately passed the ball to Casemiro, who was running out of the open position, and Liverpool began to pass the ball slowly to control the rhythm of the game.
Barcelona's forwards frantically counterattacked, which caused their physical fitness to decline very quickly.
You should know that Neymar and Messi have never had a rest in the past many games!
Moreover, including today's game, the two men's retreat and response were very large, which further aggravated the physical energy consumption.
In the 70th minute of the game, Liverpool attacked the frontcourt, only Lewandowski and Mbappe attacked in the front, but failed to make a shot. Mbappe's pass was cut off by Mascherano.
Even though Barcelona successfully defended, they had no chance to counterattack.
The positional warfare organized defense. When Neymar retreated again to respond, his rapid advance was changing direction and getting rid of it. Due to the lack of successors, he failed to continue to control the ball. When the football was out of control, he fell to the ground and scared the surrounding Liverpool players.
I don't know why he suddenly fell!
"Nemar performed a standard diving move and fell to the ground without confrontation. He seemed to be complaining to the referee about the foul of Liverpool players, but Kante didn't touch him at all. How could he foul?"
Liverpool fans in the stands couldn't help laughing at Neymar.
Enrique naturally realized that Neymar and Messi were unable to rush!
In the 74th minute of the game, Barcelona made a substitution.
Tulan replaced Rakitic, who performed poorly today, and Roberto replaced Alves.
Even if Neymar and Messi's impact power decreases, Enrique will not be able to replace them, because even if the attackers on the bench are physically strong, they may have a greater possibility of creating miracles than the exhausted Neymar and Messi.
Roberto's appearance is to provide fresh momentum on the right and try to share some pressure for Messi.
As for Tulan's appearance, we also hope that there will be some unexpected changes.
But the initiative of the game is now completely in the hands of Liverpool. Liverpool does not want to give Barcelona a chance. Barcelona has to pay a huge price to fight, rob, and plunder to have a chance!
But the risk is too great!
Liverpool continues to slow down the pace of the game, which is also further consuming Barcelona.
In the 78th minute of the game, Roberto rushed forward and counterattacked, but Gareth Bale seized the opportunity to complete the forward insertion. After receiving Eriksen's pass, Gareth Bale played an offensive depth advantage in front of the bottom line on the left, but only Lewandowski responded in the middle. When Gareth Bale dribbled into the penalty area, Pique returned to defense, and Gareth Bale made a cross and was blocked by Pique with his body out of the base line.
Liverpool did not take advantage of such a good opportunity to create threats.
They are now starting to seek stability.
The tactical corner kick was taken, Eriksen passed the ball back to the midfield, and Barcelona's overall formation retreated to his own half and then pushed forward, which was obviously consumed a lot.
Situ Yunbing looked calmly at the changes in the situation on the field.
When Messi tried to make a quick breakthrough on the right side of the frontcourt in the 84th minute of the game, Robertson used tactical rules to break the rules and once again interrupted Barcelona's offense.
Robertson also received a yellow card.
Barcelona's set-piece attack was taken, and Van Dijk cleared the ball from the penalty area.
Barcelona control the ball in the midfield, and Liverpool retreated.
The Barcelona generals looked at Liverpool's tight defense line, and many people felt desperate and powerless.
How to break through Liverpool's impregnable defense line?
Neymar was successfully attacked and snatched by Azpilicueta during the wing. This time he fell to the ground again, but the referee ignored him.
This aroused dissatisfaction from Barcelona fans, but the Liverpool players saw Neymar not getting up for a long time and took the initiative to kick the ball out of bounds.
After Neymar got up, he started arguing with the referee, probably thinking that the referee did not call Azpilicueta for a foul, which was a misjudgment.
Chapter completed!
