Star card system.

This much-anticipated contest begins with the referee's whistle!

Barcelona took the lead and launched a fierce attack without hesitation!
The continuous cooperation of several players in the midfield and frontcourt, six one-kick passes, is very exquisite.

Finally the ball was handed to Suarez.

The Uruguayan striker took the ball with his back, turned around, and shot!

This shot from the penalty area is very threatening!
However, De Gea was already ready, made a decisive save, and held the ball firmly.

Barcelona's first attack came to nothing.

However, through this attack, Barcelona sent a firm signal.

This game is going to be a blast!
To win!
Next, their offense was like a wave, taking the initiative in the opening stage.

In the 5th minute of the game, the ball came to the left wing.

This time Barcelona did not continue to pass and control the football just now, but suddenly accelerated!

After left forward Dembele received the ball, he sprinted decisively with the ball!
Manchester United's defense is in turmoil!
You must know that in the current Barcelona formation, Dembele's dribbling ability definitely ranks among the top three!

Right back Valencia made a move, but Dembele changed direction and accelerated, passing Valencia!
This time the pass was purely based on his young body and he completely left Valencia behind!
Phil Jones quickly stepped forward, but still couldn't keep up with Dembele's speed!

Make a decisive tackle on the edge of the penalty area!
Dembele forced his foot to shoot and stumbled out of the way!

The ball missed and hit the stands.

Although Phil Jones's tackle did not prevent the shot, it still interfered with Dembele, causing Barcelona's another shot to go in vain.

But De Gea broke into a cold sweat.

He yelled at Phil Jones.

"Hey!"

No further words were said.

Phil Jones looked over and De Gea's eyes spoke again.

Dude, are you really going to give them a penalty kick?

Phil Jones quickly waved his hand.

My, my, I'll pay attention next time.

Time continues and Barcelona's offense continues.

Although Barcelona deployed a 4-3-3 formation this time, Paulinho's position was slightly further back and he was considered a shadow forward.

This little-known Brazilian midfielder did not have a particularly dazzling resume before joining Barcelona.

Coming to Tottenham from South America, he can only be regarded as a second-rate player in the Premier League.

After that, he joined the Chinese Super League team, became the core of the team, and helped the team win the AFC Champions League.

But even such an honor is not enough in front of European giants.

An AFC Champions League is not even as valuable as a Europa League in the eyes of European clubs.

That's the level of the European Union.

But last summer, Barcelona actually spent 4000 million euros to introduce Paulinho.

This surprised many fans.

However, from the beginning of the league, Paulinho has shown a high level of competitiveness.

And firmly established his position as Barcelona's main force.

So far this season, he has scored 6 goals and provided [-] assists.

In addition, his usefulness in the team's tactical coordination is even more obvious.

Barcelona, ​​which has always been technical and lacks physical confrontation, has added a lot of hardness to the team with the addition of Paulinho.

The same is true today.

In the 10th minute of the game, Barcelona's frontcourt coordination suddenly had problems.

Pogba intercepted the ball and Umtiti's through ball was intercepted!

Just when Matic rushed towards the ball, Paulinho also rushed forward!
He was faster and got the ball first!
But Matic also arrived, and the two collided hard!
Paulinho didn't fall to the ground, he still had the ball!

Taking advantage of the force of the collision, Paulinho accelerated with the ball and rushed towards the Manchester United goal!

About 30 meters away from the goal, Paulinho suddenly kicked off!

One shot!
The once famous "Violent Bird" of Huachao has reappeared!
De Gea was well prepared, and when he saw the ball coming quickly, he did not choose to save it, but punched it out with both fists!
The ball fell to Valencia!
This time he made no mistake!
A long pass to find Xia Xing in midfield!In the 10th minute of the game, Manchester United finally launched its first attack!
Xia Xing, who had just retreated to defend in the midfield, received the ball accurately!

Facing Rakitic's advance, he turned around, pulled the ball, dodged the defense, and moved forward quickly!
With two consecutive movements, he passed the opponent directly!
Butzquez grabs!

Xia Xing changed directions continuously and suddenly accelerated to the left front!

Butzquez was also passed!
Xia Xing rushed near the Barcelona penalty area!
At this time, Umtiti rushed up quickly and blocked Xia Xing's shooting route!

You must know that this position is Xia Xing's golden shooting angle!

Barcelona defensive players know it all!

However, Xia Xing did not choose to shoot, but directly passed the ball diagonally to the far end!
Sanchez sprinted quickly, received the ball near the baseline and passed!
Lukaku leaps for a header!
This time he got the ball before Pique!
Header hit the goal!

The ball went straight to the corner!

Ter Stegen bounced quickly and poked the ball out of the sideline with his fingertips!
Barcelona escaped!
The German goalkeeper made a wonderful save to keep the goal!

However, this shot caused Barcelona's defense to break out in a cold sweat.

The Barcelona fans in the stands also exclaimed.

Now, they realize that this opponent is difficult to deal with.

After a burst of exclamations from Barcelona fans, the visiting team fans burst into applause!

After being suppressed continuously at the beginning, they suddenly launched a fierce attack and almost scored!

Listening to the applause from the stands, Lukaku felt a little regretful.

"It's a shame that we almost scored."

Sanchez next to him patted him on the shoulder.

Although he didn't say anything, he took this as comfort.

Lukaku also understands that this is quite an expression of goodwill for this teammate who is not good at talking.

Ashley Young ran towards the corner flag area, preparing to take the penalty.

At this time Smalling, Phil Jones and other defensive players came up.

Matic, Pogba and other high points are also in the penalty area.

Barcelona's Pique, Umtiti, Busquets and other high-level players are ready.

Xia Xing was not in the penalty area, he was waiting for the second point outside the penalty area.

Ashley Young takes a penalty kick!

High-altitude ball, straight to the center of the penalty area!

The ball was hit by Pogba!

Work hard!

The ball slides out!

It was only a little short again!

There was another exclamation in the stands.

Barcelona fans were completely unable to sit still.

Mourinho applauded vigorously on the sidelines, with joy on his face.

Before this game, it seemed that the whole world was optimistic that Barcelona could win.

In the odds list, Barcelona's promotion seems to be deserved.

But Mourinho just doesn’t believe in evil!
At Camp Nou, we are not without offensive strength!
As long as you dare to press hard, we can play such an effective fast break!
Once we get an away goal, then our Manchester United will have one foot on the threshold of the Champions League!

Thinking of this, Mourinho was even more excited.

He came to the sidelines, applauded vigorously, and cheered for his players!

lads!

Come on!

Kill these guys!

Manchester United must win! (End of chapter)
