After the referee decisively awarded Barcelona a penalty kick, some Lazio players still gathered around to complain to the referee. However, they also knew that this was of no use, so they just went up and complained a few words in a symbolic sense before retreating.
It's open.
Even so, it doesn't mean they will feel at ease.
In fact they are quite nervous.
Two penalty kicks were awarded in one game. We didn't miss the first penalty kick. We were lucky.
What about this second penalty kick?
Many people do not think Handanovic can save two penalty kicks in a row.
They retreated outside the penalty area, but stared at the football, as if they wanted to instill their own curse on the football.
※※※
"Barcelona got another penalty kick. They are so lucky! As long as they can score this penalty kick, they can equalize the total score and have an away goal!"
The neutral commentator said so.
There is nothing wrong with this penalty kick. They cannot say that Tello dived.
But what does it mean to give Barcelona two consecutive penalty kicks in one game? I believe everyone can see clearly.
UEFA will never give up until Lazio is killed!
※※※
At this moment, Lazio fans stopped praying to God.
They all looked at goalkeeper Handanovic standing in front of the goal.
Handanovic successfully saved Barcelona's penalty kick in the first half.
What about this time?
Handanovic stood in front of the goal early.
He wants to see who will take the penalty kick this time!
After successfully saving Neymar's penalty kick in the first half, Handanovic is now full of confidence and feels very good about himself.
Even if it's a penalty kick, he has the confidence to save it!
Then he saw Neymar walking up with a football in his arms.
Seeing Neymar appear in front of him, Handanovic couldn't help but smile!
※※※
Neymar clearly saw Handanovic's smile, because Handanovic didn't hide it at all, he smiled very brightly.
Neymar certainly knew why the opponent was laughing, because he thought of the penalty kick in the first half.
You must be laughing at yourself.
Oh shit!
Neymar clenched his fists.
In fact, when deciding who would take the penalty kick, Neymar was a little hesitant because he had already missed a penalty kick before.
Don't think that penalty kicks only put pressure on Lazio, they also put great pressure on Barcelona.
Because Barcelona only needs to score one goal to gain an advantage. But the opportunity in the first half was wasted by Neymar.
Barcelona missed a great opportunity.
So Neymar is under tremendous pressure.
He also hesitated whether he should take the second penalty kick himself.
Neymar is the number one penalty taker in the Barcelona team.
Unless Neymar refuses, he will definitely be the one to play.
Neymar hesitated for a while, but finally decided to play on his own.
He believed that since he missed a penalty kick, he had the responsibility to make up for his mistake.
The debt you owe can only be paid by yourself!
So he bravely came up holding the football.
But after seeing Handanovich's smile, his bravery turned into anger.
He thinks that he must kick the football into your goal so that you will never laugh again!
When he placed the football, he stood up again.
Handanovic stood on the goal line, already ready to pounce on the ball, but he still had a smile on his face.
When Neymar saw his smile, he was angry at first, but now he felt guilty - why is this man so confident? By the way, he saved my penalty last time, how did he do it?
Did he see any flaws in me?
When there are more and more thoughts like this, the brain is like a flood that has opened and cannot be stopped anymore.
He began to think about the penalty kick he missed.
If his penalty kick in the first half had gone in, Lazio would have given up on this penalty kick now. But he did not kick it in, so this did not happen. Barcelona still had to work hard to equalize the total score.
This penalty kick is a good opportunity but...···
but……
When the word "but" appeared in Neymar's mind, the situation was already not good.
But what if he misses this penalty kick again?
If this penalty kick is missed...will Barcelona still have a chance?
To be honest, Neymar doesn’t think Barcelona can get a third penalty...
Unknowingly, Neymar has used "penalty kicks" as the only offensive method that can break Lazio's goal.
Neymar realized that he was thinking too much. Now is not the time to think about things. He first needs to kick the penalty kick.
So he forced himself to calm down and step away to prepare for a run-up.
When the referee blew the whistle, Neymar started to run.
After taking a walk and running up, he kicked the football with his feet.
But while he was playing, another thought suddenly popped into his mind: What if the goal didn't go in?
Then he played football...
The football flew to the right side of the goal!
※※※
At the same time, Handanovic made a save. He rushed to the left side of his body, which is the right side of the goal!
The football flew over with a half-high ball and went straight to the direction he was throwing it!
This is the goalkeeper’s favorite ball!! Danovic gathered his hands to catch the football kicked by Neymar!!
Didn't take a shot, didn't even give Barcelona the chance to take a corner kick or a supplementary shot!
"Wow! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing Handanovic! He saved again! He saved Neymar's penalty! This is his second penalty save in this game! Today's Handanovic
Danovich is simply... amazing!"
"Samir Handanovic - Handanovic!! He is Lazio's hero! He saved Lazio for the second time!!"
The Italian commentator was almost crazy when explaining.
He did have reason to be so excited.
Barcelona won two penalty kicks in the first half of the game. According to general circumstances, Barcelona should now lead Lazio by 2 at home, with a total score of 32 to complete the lead.
But in fact the score is still 0:0! The total score is still 21, Lazio leads!
This is all because of Handanovic's outstanding performance!
"Saved two penalty kicks in a row in one game! Handanovic showed us the remnants of his former power as the world's top goalkeeper! Ter Stegen can rest in peace and recuperate!"
After Handanovic caught the football with both hands, he quickly curled up and bent his elbows, holding the football firmly in his arms to avoid problems such as losing his hands.
This is the safest approach.
When he landed, he was hit, but the football was still held firmly in his arms!
Next, Handanovic did not lie on the ground and enjoy the cheers, but quickly got up from the ground. He knew that this was Lazio's opportunity to counterattack!
While Neymar was still annoyed and in disbelief, Handanovic had already jumped up from the ground, and then quickly threw the ball to launch an attack!
Barcelona's players didn't care about regretting that the penalty kick was not scored, and turned around to chase after it!
※※※
"The situation was reversed in an instant! Lazio's counterattack!"
"Handanovic's hand throw is very accurate! He accurately found Messi on the wing!"
"Messi stopped the ball very well and very steadily!"
The commentators all exclaimed.
Every fan watching TV can feel the tense and exciting atmosphere.
Messi turned around and took the ball, running all the way towards Barcelona's goal!
Barcelona's players are facing a tough enemy.
They know very well how much Messi hates Barcelona, just like Eto'o hates Real Madrid.
"Stop him—!"
Barcelona's goalkeeper also retreated quickly - when Neymar took a penalty kick, he almost rushed to the center circle to watch the excitement... At the same time, he pointed at Messi and shouted to his teammates.
Behind Messi, in front of Messi, on Messi's side... From multiple directions, Barcelona players ran over, chasing and intercepting Messi.
The Barcelona fans in the stands had mixed emotions when they saw this scene, but they did not boo.
Messi was once the king of Barcelona and the undisputed king of Camp Nou.
He brought countless joy and glory to the fans.
Everyone thinks that Messi is a priceless treasure for Barcelona, and such a player should always play for Barcelona until he retires.
But it is a pity that when he was thirty years old, he was abandoned by the club.
After going to Lazio, he transformed into a messenger of revenge and helped Lazio defeat Barcelona in the Champions League final.
That scene made many Barcelona fans feel heartbroken.
They know that the former King of Camp Nou will never come back...
Now they see Messi running wildly with the ball at Camp Nou again.
This scene was once very familiar to them. For a moment, they thought Messi was back.
But when they saw the dazzling sky blue on Messi, they woke up again.
Messi is now a Lazio player, and he is running wildly with the ball, aiming for the Barcelona goal!
then······
Barcelona is in danger!
※※※
Messi is surrounded by Barcelona players, some of whom have played in the team with Messi.
Now everyone is their own master.
At this moment, they have no camaraderie at all. They only want to cut off Messi's ball!
Messi is trapped in a tight siege. If he were ten years younger, he could easily break through this siege.
But now, his speed, strength, and agility have all dropped too much.
Despite this, he still had a way to break through.
Because he still has rich experience!
Others may not pass by, but the football must be given away!
He rushed to pass the football when the encirclement closed!
Cross the middle!
※※※
Looking at the stadium from the stands, on the left wing where Messi is, almost all people are there, himself and other Barcelona players.
What about the middle lane?
The center and right are completely blank!
The football appeared in the middle, Cavani came in from behind, received the ball, and then calmly faced Barcelona's attacking goalkeeper...
"Oh, no -" the Catalan commentator couldn't help but wailed when he saw this scene.
Cavani did not enter the penalty area. When he saw Barcelona's goalkeeper leaving the goal and attacking, he slowed down and shot an effortless shot!
The football flew over the desperate Barcelona goalkeeper and finally fell into an empty goal...
