Since this round will determine the championship and relegated teams, all La Liga games will start at the same time.
The chaos outside Camp Nou did not delay the game.
"Beep!..."
At seven o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game!
The Malaga TV commentator loudly said: "The game has begun! Cesc Fabregas moved the football to the backcourt! The Malaga midfielder and frontcourt did not step forward to press!"
The commentator of Barcelona TV Sports Channel loudly said: "The championship battle has begun! Barcelona quickly moved the football to the frontcourt and launched an attack! Malaga has made it clear that it will launch a defensive counterattack!"
Some people say that the championship depends on defense, and Pellegrini wisely chose defensive counterattack tactics.
Two rounds ago, Malaga relied on defensive counterattack tactics to defeat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu and achieved a crucial victory.
That game solidified his defensive counterattack tactics.
Facing Malaga's intensive defense, Barcelona seemed very patient and kept moving quickly in order to find the weak points of Malaga's defense.
In the fourth minute of the first half, Iniesta suddenly accelerated with the ball!
Li Chuanqi followed him closely!
Barcelona's passing football relies on two points to break through and disrupt the opponent's defense.
One is Messi and the other is Iniesta.
Iniesta appeared in the midfield position in this game.
The defender is Li Chuanqi.
Iniesta can never get rid of Li Chuanqi!
"Pa!..."
Iniesta suddenly passed the ball to Cesc Fabregas in the middle, and then quickly moved forward!
This is a one-two with Cesc Fabregas!
"Pa!..."
Fabregas made a direct cross!
The football flies towards Iniesta!
Li Chuanqi's right shoulder suddenly leaned towards Iniesta's left shoulder, causing Iniesta's center of gravity to become unstable!
Malaga center back Willigton immediately stepped forward to press!
Iniesta is strong, and even with an unstable center of gravity, he still controls the football!
But he was no longer able to break through freely.
Li Chuanqi and Willigton immediately double-teamed!
Iniesta's difficult back-heel pass, Tulalan controlled the ball before Fabregas and stifled Barcelona's attack!
"coax!……"
There was a huge cry of regret at Camp Nou.
The Malaga TV commentator loudly said: "Without Messi, Barcelona can only rely on Iniesta to break through!
Pellegrini had already judged this, so he asked Lee to defend Iniesta!
This time he and Willigton guarded Iniesta and stifled Barcelona's offense!"
Malaga did not rush to launch an attack, but dropped the ball in the midfield and backcourt to give the offensive players time to get into position.
But Barcelona did not give them this opportunity and immediately pressed forward!
Xavi relied on his own prediction to steal the football in front of Isco, and then passed it diagonally!
The football flew towards the right side of the penalty area!
Villa flew forward like a sharp arrow!
The next moment, he controlled the football in the penalty area!
Willigton quickly defended and blocked the inside line!
Villa's center of gravity suddenly moved forward, and Willigton's instinctive center of gravity moved forward!
Villa suddenly buckled with his right foot!
The football rolls towards Willigton's right!
Willigton instinctively stretched out his right foot to intercept the football!
The next moment his right foot blocked the football!
"ah!……"
Villa, who was about to regain control of the football, touched the football with his right foot and suddenly fell forward!
"Beep!..."
The referee blew his whistle and pointed with his left hand to the penalty spot!
Penalty kick!
The Malaga TV commentator shouted: "Penalty kick?! Did Willigton commit a foul?"
The Barcelona Sports Channel commentator shouted: "Beautiful! Villa helped Barcelona win the penalty!"
The penalty for this goal was protested by Malaga players!
Willigton was the most excited. He went to the referee and showed that his right foot did not touch Villa. Villa tripped on his own!
This is definitely a misjudgment!
There was chaos on the field.
Caballero was so angry that he spoke harshly to Villa who was lying on the turf: "Damn it, liar! You are a liar! Do you think you tripped on your own?"
After watching the replay, the Malaga TV commentator said angrily: "Willigton's defensive action was so clean that the referee actually awarded a penalty kick!
What is this for?"
Pellegrini angrily approached the match supervisor: "What are you doing? If you don't want us to win the championship, you can tell us clearly!"
The match supervisor's face turned gloomy and he warned: "You'd better take back what you said!"
Pellegrini said angrily: "Did I say something wrong? Such a clean defense, but a penalty kick was awarded!"
Seeing that things were about to escalate, Pellegrini's assistant quickly pulled him away.
"Shh!..."
Malaga fans in the stands booed loudly, and Barcelona fans fell silent.
The referee gave a yellow card to the excited Willigton, and only then did order return to the field.
Li Chuanqi had no time to be angry, he hoped that his super premonition would appear!
Iniesta carried the football to the penalty spot and gently put it down.
Camp Nou is quiet.
Li Chuanqi suddenly shouted at Caballero: "Caballero!"
Admiral Caballero turned his attention to Li Chuanqi, and Li Chuanqi glanced to his right!
Caballero nodded towards him understandingly.
Xavi noticed the little movement between the two of them and quickly came to Iniesta and whispered a few words in his ear.
Nima, what are you doing?
Psychological warfare?
Fans felt strange about the behavior of the players on the field.
"referee!"
Isco shouted to the referee: "What are they doing?"
The referee yelled at Harvey, signaling him to leave the penalty area immediately.
Harvey exited the penalty area and came to the right side of the penalty area arc.
"Beep!..."
The referee blew the whistle!
Iniesta slowly runs towards the football!
Li Chuanqi suddenly had a strong premonition that Iniesta would not shoot directly, but would pass the ball to the right!
In fact, he didn't have a super premonition just now, it was just to disturb Iniesta.
Li Chuanqi quickly turned to look at Harvey and found that he was already preparing to rush into the penalty area.
He was even more sure of the correctness of his super strong hunch!
"Pa!..."
Iniesta ran in front of the football and suddenly moved the football to his right!
Caballero, who was about to pounce to his right, looked confused. What was Iniesta doing?
Xavi is flying towards the football like an arrow!
There is a faster figure beside him!
That's Li Chuanqi!
Three steps later, Li Chuanqi had Harvey stuck behind him!
After Iniesta was surprised, he immediately responded. He judged that Li Chuanqi would directly destroy it, so he was ready to block it.
The Camp Nou stadium was filled with a strange atmosphere. Barcelona fans roared in their hearts, Damn, why don't you just shoot?
Malaga fans shouted in their hearts: Li! Quick! Quick!
No one thought that Barcelona would take a penalty kick like this, and Li Chuanqi found out.
Li Chuanqi made a move with his right foot, and the football rolled between Xavi and Iniesta!
He didn't destroy it directly!
Xavi and Iniesta immediately press!
"Pa!..."
Li Chuanqi made a long pass and at the same time shouted at Isco who was standing on the arc of the penalty area: "Isco!"
The football flew towards the center circle, and Santa Cruz stood there with a face filled with surprise!
Ready to catch the ball!
Isco finally knew why Li Chuanqi called him and quickly started the game at high speed!
