In the 35th minute of the game, Barcelona once again played a wonderful pass and control cooperation.

This time it was Messi who initiated the attack again.

He dribbled the ball on the right side and faced Xia Xing directly.

During this period, Xia Xing basically did not rush forward, but participated in the defense on the left and middle.

Kante, who was defending on the right and middle, each guarded half of the court.

Now, he faced Messi.

In fact, the two faced each other many times throughout the game.

But Messi rarely chose to force a breakthrough under normal circumstances.

On the one hand, his teammates had a better position, so there was no need for personal heroism.

On the other hand, Xia Xing's defensive ability was obvious to all. A few days ago, Barcelona conducted a careful analysis of Xia Xing's technical characteristics.

Especially defensive ability.

So until now, it was the first 1VS1 duel between the two.

Xia Xing stood in front of Messi, blocking Messi's direction.

At this time, Messi had just dribbled the ball through the midfield. If he could pass Xia Xing, he could play in the middle or on the side, and there would be more possibilities.

This time, Messi decided to go it alone!

The speed of his feet did not decrease, and the frequency of his steps increased!

Xia Xing on the opposite side also stabilized his center of gravity and followed Messi closely.

Messi pulled the ball inwards, and then quickly moved to the right!

Xia Xing followed closely without being thrown off by Messi!

Messi failed to pass Xia Xing after two consecutive fake moves and changes of direction.

At this time, Leicester City's lineup was tighter. If the ball was not handled well, Barcelona's offensive opportunity would be lost this time.

Thinking of this, Messi accelerated to the right front!

He made a preparation to cut in with his left foot, but he did not cut in!

The fake move was super real!

He directly dribbled the ball forward along the sideline!

He used his speed to get rid of Xia Xing!

Even Xia Xing, who had extremely strong speed and explosive power, was not as good as Messi in these two attributes!

Messi passed him!

But at the moment he passed Xia Xing, Xia Xing suddenly exerted force to the right!

His speed was not good, but my strength was top-notch!

Xia Xing collided and directly knocked Messi out of the sideline!

Messi immediately got into the arms of the cameraman on the side of the court!

The referee blew the whistle!

Xia Xing committed a foul!

This was a foul, no doubt about it.

But fortunately it was not a card-getting action.

Xia Xing quickly walked to the sidelines and helped Messi up in a friendly manner: "Dude, are you okay?"

Messi: "Xia, you are too cruel, aren't you? You knocked me flying..."

Xia Xing: "I saw a cameraman on the sidelines, and I thought you were okay, so I felt relieved and bold enough to knock you."

(The cameraman next to him had a death smile on his face...)

Messi: "When you are defending, you still have the energy to look at the sidelines? Really?"

Xia Xing: "Not true, I'm just being polite to you!"

Messi: "I knew it!"

Messi was speechless, and he pinched Xia Xing's shoulder: "I really didn't realize that your core strength is so strong."

Xia Xing: "No, if Puyol is still in Barcelona, ​​I probably can't knock him."

Messi: "I see you are getting excited..."

Although the two met for the first time, the chat was quite interesting.

It seemed like they were friends who had known each other for a long time.

The referee gave Barcelona a set piece in the front court, but it was fruitless.

Now there is only one high point in front of Barcelona, ​​Suarez, and the Uruguayan is not very good at heading.

Alan Shearer nodded in the live broadcast room.

"Although Messi passed Xia just now,

"But Xia blocked Messi's progress with a foul,

"Even if it was a free kick, it's nothing,

"It's much better than letting Messi rush over.

"So, in the confrontation between Xia and Messi,

"Xia still won. ”

Carragher next to him glanced at him.

Alan Shearer: "What do you want to say?"

Carragher: "Until Barcelona equalizes the score, I will not comment for the time being."

Alan Shearer: "Is it inconvenient to criticize Leicester City? "

Carragher: "..."

The game between the two sides continued on the field.

In the 43rd minute of the game, Barcelona made a very casual pass in the middle.

It seems that there are not many opportunities to attack, and there is no need for continuous passing.

But in an instant, Iniesta passed the ball!

The ball went straight to the left front!

Neymar quickly moved forward and stopped the ball in the penalty area!

Leicester City captain Morgan was very close to him, but still failed to interfere with Neymar's stop!

After stopping the ball, Neymar directly chose to shoot!

The ball was suspended into the far post!

Absolute dead corner!

"The ball went in!

"Barcelona actually scored a goal?

"Isn't this too sudden?

"Messi, who had been active just now, attracted most of Leicester City's defensive attention,

"And Iniesta's pass went straight to the left, Neymar's running and stopping were world-class!

"The last shot was also wonderful!

"Morgan didn't have time to make any interference!

"Schmeichel didn't even have time to jump!

"This is the power of a world-class star!

"1 to 2!"

"Barcelona scored a goal!"

Excitedly, the Barcelona players ran back to their own half holding the ball.

It seemed that they were unwilling to end the first half with this score.

There is still time, at least to equalize!

It is now the 44th minute of the game, with two minutes of injury time.

Leicester City's midfielder controlled the ball and was ready to use up the remaining time.

However, Mahrez and Drinkwater's passes were suddenly intercepted!

It was Busquets!

As Barcelona's midfield metronome, his defensive ability is unquestionable!

Being able to fill in the gaps for any midfield partner is one of his characteristics!

This defense was very accurate!

Mahrez's pass had almost no loopholes, but he still intercepted it!

Decisive diagonal pass, the ball went straight to the right front!

This time Barcelona did not go on the ground, but made a long pass!

Busquets usually has few long pass opportunities, but it does not prove that he is not good!

This pass directly penetrated Leicester City's midfield line!

Barcelona players who have been on the ground throughout the game actually made a long pass this time!

Leicester City players did not expect that their defense line was in a panic and chased back!

Messi received the ball in the corner of the penalty area!

At this time, Suarez was in the center of the penalty area, but Messi did not seem to intend to pass the ball!

He pulled the ball horizontally and dodged the angle!

Huth quickly moved forward, and left-back De Laet also blocked the near corner!

But Messi still found a gap in the crowd!

A sudden shot!

It was actually a pass!

In the opposite direction of Leicester City's defensive center of gravity, the ball was easily stuffed into the penalty area!

Suarez just ran in the opposite direction and is not offside now!

Quickly move forward and shoot the ball!

"The ball hit the near corner of the goal!

"This cooperation is wonderful!

"Busquets' pass was a sudden shot, which was an unexpected change in the whole game!

"Messi's fake shot after receiving the ball broke through Leicester City's defense with one shot!

"Suarez's shot was fatal and completely tied the score!

"2 to 2!

"Barcelona is finally back to the same starting line as Leicester City!"
