With this goal, Arsenal successfully tied the score to 1-1.

In the total score, Arsenal leads Barcelona 3:2.

Because Arsenal's previous score against Barcelona at home was 2:1.

Because of the overall score deficit, Barcelona had no choice but to launch an all-out attack.

This is their home ground, and there are countless Barcelona fans here to support them. They are the most famous top club in Europe.

They have several times more Champions League titles than Arsenal.

They must not be beaten by Arsenal at home.

Arsenal will not be willing to give up their advantage.

A fierce fight broke out between the two teams.

De Jong received the pass from his teammate at the top of the arc.
Shoot with your left foot.

This shot made the football fly towards the goal with great force.

The Arsenal goalkeeper tried to save the ball with a side dive, and his fingertips slightly touched the ball.
This slightly changed the trajectory of the ball.
There was a muffled sound.

The football hit the right goal post.

The hearts of all the Barcelona fans in the stadium were tightened.

However, the football did not bounce directly into the net after hitting the post.

The ball bounced back to the Arsenal goalkeeper.

The goalkeeper was startled for a moment and quickly hugged the football.

Just two minutes later, Arsenal launched a counterattack.

Fang Cheng returned to the midfield to receive the ball, and he passed the ball to Saka with his heel in the crowd.

This was a superb pass.

Saka moved forward at the same time, and then passed the ball to the front of the goal as soon as possible.

Nketiah made a cross at the midpoint.
He saw this great opportunity.
A shovel shot can send the ball into the net.

However, just as Nketiah was about to touch the ball, his body was slightly slow.

This tiny time difference,
Nketiah missed the chance to shoot into the empty goal. The ball slipped past his feet, and Nketiah, who fell to the ground, could only watch helplessly as the ball rolled out of the baseline.

Teammates lamented the opportunity.

However, Barcelona was not affected and continued to attack.

Because if they want to advance now, they must equalize the score first.

In the second half,
The intensity on the field is still very fierce.

When Barcelona was attacking, they made more small moves, trying to take advantage of the opportunity to profit.

The referee did not control the scale in time.

This allowed Aubameyang to receive the ball snatched by his teammates in the frontcourt.

He created a one-on-one opportunity.

Dembele also responded quickly on the wing.

However, Aubameyang did not choose team spirit and shot selfishly.

He should have noticed that Dembele was in a better position.

Still kicking the ball directly,

The football flew straight into the goal.

All the Barcelona fans in the stadium exploded instantly, feeling that this would be a goal.

However, at this moment, the referee blew the whistle, indicating that the goal was invalid.

It turned out that at the moment Aubameyang received the ball,
He was already in an offside position.

This penalty made all the Barcelona fans in the stadium feel miserable.
This beautiful goal was blown off and the Barcelona players were very upset.

Their mentality was finally affected.

We can only bite the bullet and launch an attack in the next period of time.

Barcelona relied on their numerical advantage to launch a slow attack in Arsenal's half.

Seeing that the game was about to fall into a dull rhythm,
Suddenly, Dembele's exquisite pass finally made many people wake up.

Dembele shook off the defense, and then a passing line appeared, and he passed the ball to De Jong on the right side of the penalty area.

The moment De Jong received the ball, he noticed Fati's position.
So he sent a perfect oblique pass,

The ball was sent to the back of the penalty area.

Fati rushed over quickly.
Facing the double team of two Arsenal defenders,

He shot straight down low.

The football flies towards the goal,

However, the Arsenal goalkeeper has already moved over.
Just sit down and block the football.

Barcelona failed to overtake the score, the score of this game remains 1-1!

The mood of all the Barcelona fans was like riding a roller coaster.

They placed high hopes on Fati's shot this time.
But the result was disappointing.

Soon the game came to the most critical second half.

In the 70th minute, Barcelona was on the edge of the cliff. They had already chosen to push their formation across the half court.

Arsenal also chose to defend.

Now the competition is about who will not make mistakes.

Barcelona's De Jong took a corner kick from the right.

The football spun and flew towards the penalty area.

Lenglet grabbed a favorable position in the crowd.

He saw the flying football.

All the strength of the whole body is concentrated in the neck.

The moment the football flies into the penalty area,
Lenglet headed the ball towards the goal.
Trying to head the football into the net.

His movements were executed perfectly.

The Arsenal goalkeeper didn't react.

However, the football hit the crossbar and flew out of the field.
Barca were just a little bit away from scoring.

However, the Barcelona players on the field had no time to regret.

Only time is running out.

In the 73rd minute, Barcelona created another offensive opportunity.

Aubameyang received Barcelona's long pass in the penalty area and intended to stop the ball and shoot.

However, at the moment when Aubame raised his foot,

Gabriel quickly appeared in front of the goal.

He fell to the ground twice in a row to block Aubameyang's close-range shots.

Finally, the ball was held in the arms of the Arsenal goalkeeper.
Arsenal's dangerous situation in front of the goal surprised everyone.

Then,

Barcelona went on a completely crazy attack.

Arsenal's penalty area was flattened.

Then, Busquets shot from outside the penalty area.

Trying to score directly from long range.

However, this time it was Saliba who blocked Busquets' shot with his body.

The football was blocked from the baseline.

Arsenal's defense's two consecutive saves cheered up the Arsenal players.
Their defense was undoubtedly the biggest highlight of the game.

After a series of successful defenses, the teammates on the back line shook hands and hugged each other tightly.
This game means a lot to them, and every successful defense brings them one step closer to victory!
After Barcelona missed a series of chances, they fell into a brief period of frustration.
But the game isn’t over yet.
Busquets was quick to chide his downcast teammates.

He felt it was his responsibility to wake these people up.

Now is the time for him to prove himself. Players like Iniesta, Messi, Xavi and Guardiola are no longer in Barcelona. If he can lead the team into the Champions League final at this time.

Then he is truly the world's best midfielder.

And the ceremonial midfield of Real Madrid, Modric, Kroos and Fat Tiger are a team that deceives the world and steals their reputation.

So, Busquets was very active.
He received the ball that his teammates didn't dare to receive. He passed the ball that his teammates didn't dare to pass. After seeing the responsibility of Old Blanc, Dembele felt that he had finally found someone he could rely on.

Then, Dembele chose to give up.

That's right, Dembele's passive playing style is that he likes to find a comfortable environment and then start to play badly.
He likes to see the team's pillars stand out the most.

The last responsible teammate he found was an Argentine who liked to grow a beard.

Soon, one of Barcelona's most important flank attacks was paralyzed.

Even if the ball was passed to Dembele's feet, his performance was weak.

Soon in the 81st minute, there was not much time left in the game and Barcelona still failed to equalize the score.

The more intense the competition on the field, the more Dembele's calmness will be highlighted.

Aubameyang received the pass in the penalty area.

Facing Arsenal's double-team defense, Aubameyang was sweating profusely.

He really hopes that his teammates will come to support him.

However, there was no one else except Fati, and he saw Dembele seemed to be watching the show motionlessly outside the penalty area.

no solution anymore,

Aubameyang had no choice but to turn around and kick the ball.

Arsenal goalkeeper didn't make a quick save.
With a slow side dive, he caught the football firmly.

Because Aubameyang's shot missed the ball.

Dembélé sighed.
It seems like my teammates today are not good enough. They didn’t even score this goal? ?

But then, seeing Aubameyang turning his head as if looking at him, Dembele quickly spread his hands outside the penalty area.

It seems like he is complaining about why the ball was not passed to him?

No matter how Aubameyang reacts, Dembele feels that by complaining first, his teammates will not complain to him.

This is perfect active defense.

Sure enough, Aubameyang just rolled his eyes at Dembele.

Immediately afterwards, while Barcelona's formation did not retreat, Arsenal immediately launched an attack.

Fang Cheng was dribbling the ball forward, which scared the Barcelona players so much that they had to retreat while keeping a close eye on Fang Cheng's movements.

However, this time the equation dictates a quick resolution.

With a long pass, the ball was sent into Barcelona's penalty area.

Nketiah made a quick forward run and had a chance to head the ball into the goal in the penalty area.

He jumped high and was about to head the ball.

However, Barcelona's defensive players interfered, resulting in Nketiah failing to head the ball.

The football flew out of the baseline.

quickly,

The game is about to enter the overtime period.

In the 90th minute, the Barcelona players finally couldn't help being anxious anymore.

Directly choose to shoot from outside the penalty area.

If there is no space to shoot, then just shoot from long range.

So the ball hit the post without a doubt.
There was no goalkeeper posing a threat at all.

The Arsenal players immediately cleared the ball away.

After Barcelona got the ball in the midfield, they attacked again.

Busquets was in control of the ball. He felt like someone was avoiding the ball up to this point in the game, but he couldn't seem to find out who it was.

Seeing that the score was still behind, Arsenal still had a lot of people defending in the penalty area.

Busquets is angry.
I feel like this Arsenal is betraying their philosophy of beautiful football.
This is simply a crime on the football field.

Busquets angrily shot directly from outside the penalty area!

This time the football flew quickly across the penalty area and hit the goal post.

This time the Arsenal goalkeeper and defender failed to block the ball.

The football bounced back to the back of the goal.

Fati accurately judged where the ball would land.
He rushed forward quickly and scored with a follow-up shot.

All the Barcelona fans in the stadium went crazy as if they were high. It was definitely a perfect goal.

However, the referee's whistle sounded again.

The goal was disallowed.

It turned out that at the moment when Busquets shot from a distance,

Fati is in an offside position.

This decision made all the Barcelona fans angry.

Offside again!

Why does this referee always call them offside!

This is definitely targeted!

The Barcelona players on the field also became angry and surrounded the referee, protesting wildly.

The referee explained to the Barcelona players with an indifferent look on his face.
He felt there was no need to get emotional with these people.

Because it is impossible for football players to do anything to the referee.

And kindly reminded the Barcelona players that time is running out.

Seeing the referee being so shameless, the Barcelona players quickly became frustrated.
Soon the game entered injury time.

Barcelona is still attacking regardless of everything.

Arsenal looked badly outclassed.

But the Arsenal players did not panic and continued to guard the penalty area, aiming to advance to the Champions League final with a one-goal advantage.

The entire Barcelona team feels very uncomfortable.

When Busquets thinks about ugly football tactics being rampant all over Europe in the future, he feels that this is an insult to football.

But Arsenal doesn't care what others say, because history will only remember the championship. If you can't win the championship, everything is meaningless.

Dembele was also disappointed when he saw his teammates stand up.

Dembele felt very uncomfortable when he heard the audience outside the stadium bragging about him. He felt that he should not have joined Barcelona before.

Except for the old man with a beard, the people here are not friendly at all.

When his contract with Barcelona is up, where should he go? Home? Or Paris? It seems that the only club in Paris that is good is that one.

Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly, my teammate passed the ball to me.

Dembele didn't think much about it and dribbled the ball a few times in a formulaic manner.

Seeing that the Arsenal players were not dazzled, Dembele had no choice but to dribble the ball down the bottom and make a cross.

Barcelona teammates were rushing into the penalty area with murderous intent.
But who would have thought that Dembele's cross was so soft and weak that the ball couldn't even reach the goal.

Barcelona's attack was not threatening again.

Seeing this scene, Busquets was stunned.

He finally knew who had a problem in the team. Was this kid playing a game? He didn't take Arsenal's defense seriously at all. He was just playing by muscle memory. There was no change at all!

Busquets seems to know why Messi left Barcelona. Fk! With the performance of these people, they were not worthy of playing in Barcelona before.

But the next moment, after seeing De Jong's performance, Busquets felt that De Jong could still continue to play in Barcelona.

Because De Jong found an opportunity to pass the ball to the wall.

After breaking into the penalty area, he chose to fake a shot and dunked, getting past the frontal block of the Arsenal players.

The space for opening the door appeared instantly.

De Jong shot immediately!

The football flies toward the goal.

however,
The Arsenal goalkeeper was not distracted.
When he saw De Jong shoot, he quickly fell to the ground.

Successfully blocked the football out of the baseline!
At this moment, the Barcelona fans in the stands were almost crying.

Why is it so difficult for Barcelona to play now? Has God given up the last glory of the La Liga giants? (End of this chapter)
