The huge stadium was enveloped in the sunset glow. Just ten minutes into the game, Barcelona felt like they were in an ice cellar.

Barcelona lost two goals in a row. The Barcelona fans at the scene could no longer hold back and booed goalkeeper Bravo with dissatisfaction.

The on-site commentator was also confused:

"As an experienced goalkeeper, why didn't he remind his teammates to come to help defend? Regardless of whether Lukaku's shot was real or fake, Bravo's save could only block one side, shouldn't he call on his teammates to help defend the other side?

Of course, Barcelona's defenders also have responsibilities. Regardless of whether Bravo calls for support or not, they should form a supporting role with the goalkeeper. This is common sense!
But overall, Bravo has a heavier responsibility.”

The commentator said worriedly, "I really hope this is just an aftereffect of the World Cup and the players are just not excited enough. If not, I'm afraid we will get nothing this season."

Not only are the fans unhappy with this start, but even the Barcelona players themselves are not happy with it either.

When the game resumed, Barcelona's offense miraculously improved.

Iniesta dribbled the ball through the midfield like a snake, and after being pressed, he passed it to Rakitic through the middle.
Then he received the ball again about 30 meters in front of Manchester City's penalty area. He swung his leg and pretended to take a long shot, but in an instant he faked a shot and passed the ball to Messi.

After receiving the ball, Messi took two steps forward, and on the left side of the penalty area, which he was most familiar with, he locked his eyes on Hart and kicked him! - He saw Hart kick! (Football Truth)

It was a world-shattering wave.
The football flew straight into the blind corner of the goal like an arrow.

It hit Hart's soft spot.
Barcelona TV immediately seized this opportunity and pushed a close-up shot, originally wanting to capture Joe Hart's poignant moment to highlight Messi's greatness.

But what appeared in the camera was not helplessness and regret, but a mocking expression!

Why is this?

Facing this wonderful ball, what is he mocking since he is not good at saving long shots?
As a result... football is really
With a "bang", it hit the doorpost and was ruthlessly blocked!

Oh my god! Did Joe already know the outcome when Messi shot?

so amazing!

There was a roar of applause from the few Manchester City supporters.

"Jo!"

"Joe is awesome!"

These cheers made Joe Hart a little dazed. He himself had never thought that he would become the hero of the team by not struggling.

Messi, the god of Barcelona, ​​was humiliated like this! Stimulated by this, the game instantly swept away the previous lazy state and entered a fierce and intense state.

In the 17th minute, Barcelona made a comeback.

Messi made a wall pass with Suarez in the frontcourt.

In Liverpool, Suarez rarely retreats to pass the ball, but in Barcelona, ​​Suarez often sacrifices himself.

Life is like this. Sometimes you take a step back just to help others, but unintentionally, you also help fulfill your own blue sea and blue sky.

Suarez, who frequently served as a fulcrum for his teammates, scored the most goals in his career at Barcelona, ​​and also brought his own value to its peak.

Returning our attention to the court,

After Messi hit the wall, he received the ball on the right side and suddenly made a great move by passing it diagonally from the right side to the left side.

After receiving the ball, Neymar, the left winger, began his performance. After passing two players on the wing, he quickly changed direction, created a shooting space, and pushed the ball.
Joe Hart dived sideways at high speed and held the ball firmly in his arms.

The applause and sighs of Barcelona fans on the sidelines rose and fell, surging like waves.

De Bruyne reached for the ball near midfield.

Joe Hart got the hint and got up, before Barcelona MSN could react, he threw the ball in a Popeye-style throw.
The football streaked towards De Bruyne like a meteor.

De Bruyne turned sideways, without stopping the ball, swung his leg, and the ball flew up again before it hit the ground.

The last second, Xia Qi was still walking back and forth under the double defense of Rakitic and Iniesta.

The next second, Xia Qi rushed out like an arrow.

Iniesta and Rakitic reacted in unison, sliding down and shoveling at the same time.

But Xia Qi reacted very quickly and pushed the ball forward. The two players not only missed the tackle, but also hit their teammates. Xia Qi caught up with the ball and faced Busquets' defense. He turned around and pretended to pass the ball backwards, successfully tricking Busquets into rushing past him.
Then turn around and move forward.

Although this fake move was beautiful and effective, Manchester City's fast break was ultimately unsuccessful.

Messi chased back and blocked Xia Qi's way.

The whole stadium erupted in cheers instantly, and the fans gave warm applause to Messi for his timely defense.

For a moment, the cheers of Messi, Messi, Messi reached the sky!
Amid the cheers, Messi couldn't hide his glare of wanting to kill someone. Facing Xia Qi who was rushing towards him with the ball, he squatted slightly to lower his center of gravity, ready to fight.

Xia Qi rushed to within two meters of Messi, pushed the ball to the left, and changed direction to make a diagonal cut.

Messi immediately intercepted to the right.

But after Xia Qi caught up with the football in one step, he suddenly turned the football in the opposite direction and changed direction to the right.

Messi's reaction is also very fast!

He saw Xia Qi dribbling the ball with his left foot and immediately turned around and rushed back.

This time pounce!

Messi felt that he had a sure win, because he turned at the moment Xia Qi dribbled the ball, not when Xia Qi changed direction.

Extremely cunningly took the lead by half a beat.

If he was half a beat faster, when he and Xia Qi were in the same direction, he could stretch his legs and steal the ball calmly.
Messi’s calculations are very clear!
But his outstretched leg did not touch the football. It turned out that when Xia Qi's left foot dribbled the ball to his right foot, the football was pushed back by his right foot.

At the same time, Xia Qi slammed on the brakes!
Messi missed the shot!
Xia Qi started again, passed Messi and headed towards the penalty area.

“Nice bad beat!”

"Pique and Alves are both defending Xia Qi."

After passing the opponent, Xia Qi did not continue to move forward, but passed the ball to Silva.

Passed a lead pass to Silva.

When Xia Qi was sprinting with the ball, Silva had been following Xia Qi on the flank. Seeing Xia Qi pass the ball,

Silva suddenly accelerated while running and caught the ball before the defender.

After receiving the ball, Silva did not break forward, but dribbled the ball horizontally in front of the penalty area, looking for a passing space or a shooting opportunity.

The Barcelona defense, led by Pique, focused all their attention on Silva, lowered their center of gravity and moved sideways with Silva, leaving no space.

However, Silva still kicked while running.

He raised his left leg and swung it backwards very high. Pique, Alves and others thought he was going to shoot, so they made corresponding defensive moves.

But the football did not fly towards the goal, but rolled on the ground and landed behind Alves.

This kick caught Alves off guard.

The fans behind the Barcelona goal screamed in unison: "Xia Qi!"

"careful!"

Amid the fans' exclamations, Xia Qi got behind Alves like a cheetah.

Kick the knife down!
"Hit the door!"

Amid the commentator's shouts, Xia Qi caught up with the football but did not stop the ball, but instead pushed it forward!

The football stuck to the grass and jumped like a naughty little rabbit on the lawn and went straight into the net.

"The ball is in!"

"Xia Qi played like crazy and scored three goals in twenty minutes, beating Barcelona. Is he in a hurry to get off work? So cruel?" (End of this chapter)
