At that moment, the cheers of Monaco fans were deafening, and the entire stadium seemed to be overturned by this enthusiasm.
Looking back on this attack, it seems that we can see the whole essence and fighting spirit of Monaco, the dark horse team.
After the game started, Monaco quickly launched an offensive. Midfielder Armand Baxter received a pass from his teammate near the center circle, cleverly dribbled past Barcelona's defenders, and quickly passed the ball to Victor da Silva on the wing.

At this time, Mbappe had already keenly sensed the opportunity to attack. He quickly inserted from the right and shook off the defense of Barcelona's defender.
At the moment when Da Silva passed the ball, Mbappe had already entered the penalty area. He grabbed the first point at lightning speed and shot the ball directly at the goal.
Barcelona's goalkeeper Ter Stegen reacted quickly and tried his best to save the ball, but Mbappe's shot was powerful and the angle was tricky. Although Ter Stegen touched the ball, he still couldn't stop the ball from entering the net.
The ball went in! The cheers of Monaco fans resounded through the sky, and the whole stadium fell into a sea of carnival.
Monaco's players quickly gathered together to celebrate this important goal.
Mbappe was lifted high by his teammates, with a confident smile on his face, as if telling the world that their dark horse team would never give up easily.
In the 17th minute, Monaco scored again, pushing the atmosphere of the game to a climax. The starting point of this attack was Monaco's left wing.
Midfielder Youri Tielemans took the ball near the center circle. He observed the situation on the field and saw that Thomas Lemar on the left had begun to insert.
He made a beautiful long pass and accurately found Lemar. After receiving the ball, Lemar quickly advanced along the left wing. Facing the defense of the Barcelona defender, he cleverly knocked the ball with his heel and won a valuable offensive space.
Lemar continued to dribble forward and observed the situation in the penalty area.
He saw that his teammate Radamel Falcao had found a gap in the penalty area.
Lemar decisively kicked the ball to the middle, and the ball drew a beautiful arc and landed accurately on Falcao's head.
Falcao jumped high, and with almost no one defending him, he headed the ball hard.
The ball went straight to the lower right corner of the goal, and Ter Stegen made another save, but this time he was still powerless.
The ball went into the net! Monaco extended the score to 2-0, and the total score was 4-3.
The cheers from the audience in the stadium rang out again, and the Monaco players hugged and celebrated.
Falcao was surrounded by his teammates, and a relieved smile appeared on his face. At this moment, they were one step closer to making history.
At the same time, the Barcelona players looked a little frustrated, and they knew that if they didn't take action, the balance of the game would completely lean towards Monaco.
In the 48th minute, Neymar received a pass from Busquets on the right and began his breakthrough journey.
He quickly dribbled forward, facing the defense of the Monaco defender, Neymar made a clever change of direction, quickly shook off the defender, then he looked up at the situation in the penalty area and decisively passed the ball to the middle.
Messi had already seen through Neymar's intention. He quickly entered the penalty area and accurately received Neymar's cross before the defensive players could react.
Messi did not make any more adjustments and directly pushed the ball with his left foot. The ball flew to the lower left corner of the goal like a missile.
Monaco's goalkeeper tried his best to save the ball, but he could not stop Messi's shot. The ball went in! Barcelona pulled one back, the score became 2-1, and the total score was 4-4.
This goal rekindled Barcelona's hope and made the game more tense and intense.
Monaco players quickly adjusted their mentality, knowing that the game was far from over.
In the 81st minute, Monaco's coach decided to make a substitution.
Valermain came on as a substitute. His task was to strengthen the offense and secure the victory for the team.
Incredibly, Valermain scored for Monaco just 22 seconds after he came on the court.Naco scored a crucial goal.
The attack started from Monaco's backcourt. Tielemans received the ball near the midfield and quickly passed it to Lemar on the left.
Lemar dribbled forward and faced the defense of Barcelona's defender. He faked his opponent and then quickly cut inside and passed the ball to Falcao in the middle.
Falcao took the ball with his back and cleverly knocked the ball to Valerman, who had just come on as a substitute, with his heel.
Valerman started quickly and dribbled into the penalty area.
Facing Ter Stegen's attack, he calmly pushed the ball into the far corner and the ball went into the net.
The stadium instantly erupted with deafening cheers, and Monaco fans shouted loudly to celebrate this crucial goal.
Valerman was hugged crazily by his teammates. Everyone knew that this goal almost locked the victory.
Monaco established an advantage early in the game, and goals from Mbappe and Falcao showed their efficiency on the offensive end.
The attacking combination of Mbappe, Lemar and Falcao cooperated well and broke through Dortmund's defense many times.
Although Dortmund created a certain offensive threat, Monaco's defensive performance was relatively stable, especially goalkeeper Subasic made many key saves.
Monaco relied on its ability to quickly counterattack and repeatedly took advantage of the loopholes in Barcelona's defense to launch efficient counterattacks, especially Valerman's goal was a successful quick counterattack.
