Chapter 505 We Are the Champions
As time went by, Barcelona's players became more and more anxious, even the veterans of the team. Larson was steady at first and threatened Real Madrid's goal several times, but these threats were eventually resolved by Real Madrid.
Samuel was like a needle in the back line, Pavon, who came off the bench, disrupted Barcelona's offense everywhere like a crap stick, and Casillas used his performance to defend the position of Spain's first national goal.
It is no exaggeration to say that Pavon has proved for himself during this period that in the Champions League final, when his teammates were sent off with a red card, Pavon's performance was impeccable.
Samuel is as stable as ever. The title of "Rock" is not for nothing. The situation of Real Madrid's defense this season is obvious to all.
When the game came to the No.70 minute, Rijkaard made a second substitution, replacing right back Oleg with Belletti.
This is a substitution to strengthen the offense. As a Brazilian full-back, Belletti's offensive ability must be much better than that of Oleg, and this substitution is also Rijkaard's helpless substitution.
It was also proved later that Belletti is not the kind of player who can change the situation on the field by himself, so the Brazilian defender's playing did not bring anything different to Barcelona, and Barcelona's offense still did not improve.
In fact, it's not that Barcelona players' personal abilities are not good enough, they are confused. The score of 3:0 is like a boulder pressing on the chests of all Barcelona players, preventing them from showing their personal abilities.
Soon Rijkaard made another substitution, Van Bommel went off, and the teenager Messi appeared. Obviously, this was the last wave of Rijkaard, and Barcelona changed 423.
Facing Barcelona's final fight, Li Yi also chose to use up his last substitution spot. Gravesen came on the stage and replaced Zidane, who helped Real Madrid expand their lead with a penalty kick.
This is obviously a targeted substitution. Gravesen is omnipotent. He can not only organize the team's offense before, but also participate in defense when retreating. This is incomparable to Elguera. In addition, it is still an old problem. Elguera's state began to decline, but Gravesen remained at the peak.
Messi, who came off the bench, was very active. He completed a shot just 1 minute after his debut, and it was a wonderful manifestation of his personal ability.
Deco passed the ball to Messi, and the Barcelona teenager took the ball and immediately attacked Salgado's defense. Salgado, who had already fought for most of the game, was at a disadvantage in physical fitness, and there was a huge age gap between the two. It is normal for Messi to break through.
What was really exciting about Messi was his inward cut after the breakthrough. Gravesen had already received Li Yi's instructions, but even so, he still couldn't stop him. An accelerated change of direction didn't give Gravesen time to react at all.
"Gravesen is like a log in front of the Barcelona teenager." Messi, who rushed into the penalty area, did not hesitate, and shot the ball straight to the far corner.
"Iker Casillas Real Madrid's goalkeeper is an insurmountable wall for Barcelona in this game."
However, Barcelona's attack was not over yet, and then Iniesta took a tactical corner kick, and the ball came to Ronaldinho's feet, but in fact the Brazilian was just a cover.
"Long shotbeautifulnocrossbar Deco's long shot hit the crossbar." Seeing Deco's long shot finally flew out of the bottom line, the Barcelona fans in the stands couldn't help but shed tears of despair.
It turns out that after Messi's shot, the time has unknowingly reached 10 minutes, that is to say, there are only ten minutes left for Barcelona.
And the next wave of offensive balls belonged to Real Madrid. According to Li Yi's wretched character, this wave of offense would waste a few minutes at least.
Full-court press, facing Real Madrid's pass, Rijkaard can only use full-court press, but Rijkaard seems to have forgotten that the game time has reached more than 80 minutes, and most players have almost exhausted their physical fitness.
Therefore, Barcelona's full-court press is not very effective. Even if Barcelona's players are really desperate, in the end, Real Madrid's attack took a full 3 minutes before Owen grabbed a spot in the penalty area to complete the final shot.
It came from Ribery's breakthrough pass after receiving a pass from his teammate. Although Ribery did not score in this game, he did a very good job on the left. Before Edmilson often needed to be pulled to the left to help Oleg.
Ribery is not the most direct scoring hero, but he is a hidden hero, and Ribery actually created a lot of opportunities on the wing, but he and his teammates did not grasp it.
Barcelona's fast break is still Messi. Messi, who comes off the bench, does not need to worry about physical strength, coupled with excellent personal ability and a natural big heart.
But Real Madrid's defense never gave Messi a real chance. He was indeed very active and shot, but the real threat was not great.
In this case, the referee announced stoppage time, 4 minutes, this stoppage time is definitely not too small, of course, the two teams on the court will definitely not make a fair evaluation.
From the perspective of Real Madrid, 4 minutes is a bit too long. The Real Madrid people can't wait for the referee to blow the whistle immediately for the end of the game. In the eyes of the Barcelona people, 4 minutes is too short. If possible, they hope that 4 minutes will be divided into nine and 10 minutes.
But no matter what the two sides think, it is useless, because the referee is already making a decision, and the players on the court must play for the full 4 minutes, and the fans of both sides also need to wait for the 4 minutes to pass.
"Not surprisingly, this should be Barcelona's last attack in this game." In the second minute of stoppage time, the ball once again came to Barcelona's feet.
It was still Messi, but this time Messi did not choose to shoot, pass the ball, and passed the ball to Larson after breaking through, who sent another kick to Ronaldinho's feet.
"It's over The game is completely over." However, Ronaldinho's last shot sent the ball to Casillas's arms again.
"We are the champions" After seeing Ronaldinho's shot, the Real Madrid fans in the stands finally couldn't suppress their excitement and began to sing in unison.
Crying, unlike Real Madrid singing "We are the champions", the Barcelona people are crying, because not only did they lose in this final, but they also lost to their century-old enemy.
There were no accidents in the last 2 minutes. Amidst Real Madrid's indulgent singing, the Norwegian referee Hauge blew the whistle for the end of the game.
