Ibrahimovic smacked the soccer ball lightly, and the soccer ball came to Messi's feet. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But before Messi could make a move, he felt a huge force coming from behind him and was directly knocked to the ground.

Although the referee's whistle also sounded at this time, Messi still sat on the grass in a daze.

In the enthusiastic cheers of the Blackburn fans, the short-haired Blackburn banner Frank Lampard stood in front of Messi, he gently patted the jersey on his body, and glared at Messi fiercely, "Little guy, be careful!" ”

Frank Lampard's foul was not carded by the referee because it was not a hurtful move at all, it was just a dismount for Messi!

Both sides took the game very seriously, so the players were cautious on the pitch, and although the competition between the two sides was as fierce as ever, the defensive caution and attack were hardly threatening.

There was no good game in the tournament, and neither Barcelona nor Blackburn wanted to concede the first goal, so both players started the game on the defensive foot, and although it is likely that they will be able to take the initiative in a big attack, if they make a mistake, they are very likely to be passive in the crucial game on the field.

Both sides were cautious in their opening kick-offs, and they were careful not to make mistakes. So in the first ten minutes after the opening, both sides were attacking tentatively, and there was no sign of rash pressing.

In the twelfth minute of the game, Blackburn, who had gradually found the rhythm of the game, finally began to cooperate effectively and tried the first real threatening attack of the game.

Ashley Cole has been in excellent form after returning from injury, and this time he suddenly stepped in to provide the assist when Barcelona were yet to put together a dangerous attack, getting rid of a defence on the left and sending a cross that Torres had flown away from Puyol's mark from 12 yards before leaping high to head home.

Unfortunately, this time Torres' header was on target, and Valdés confiscated his header.

In the 17th minute, Ibrahimovic combined with Messi to break through Thiago Silva comfortably, but his shot from the right side of the box slid wide.

In the 20th minute, Alonso received a corner from the left and crossed for Lampard to find a volley from outside the box that hit Valdés and missed another chance to open the scoring.

In the 25th minute, Messi easily broke through on the right side again and crossed, Xavi turned on the edge of the penalty area to get rid of Kompany and fired a left-footed lob shot, but unfortunately the weak shot was easily confiscated by Cech.

Three minutes into Blackburn's comeback, Torres received a long pass from Alonso's midfielder and then stopped the ball with his chest and volleyed it up, Drogba stopped the ball on his chest and turned and volleyed with his right foot, which was saved by Valdés bravely.

For a while, the exclamations at the Bernabeu Stadium came and went, and Blackburn gradually seized the initiative on the field and formed an effective threat to Barcelona's goal.

Blackburn Rovers gradually took control of the situation, and although they were not able to score for a while, their morale also became high and they became more and more lethal in attack.

In football, the strength of the players on both sides can determine the final trend of a game very well, but when the difference between the strength of the two teams is not large, then it is the performance of the players on the field.

Sometimes a flash of inspiration from a star can change the situation on the pitch, and there aren't too many stars of this caliber in Blackburn Rovers and Barcelona.

Now everyone can see that Blackburn Rovers have the initiative on the pitch, they dominate the midfield and their attacks are pouring towards Barcelona's goal.

Barcelona's situation on the pitch became increasingly dangerous, and while they fielded a dangerous 4-3-3 formation, which had considerable attacking prowess, in midfield, Barcelona without Andres Iniesta were cut off by a powerful midfield combination of Marcos Alonso, Cambiasso and Frank Lampard.

However, although Blackburn Rovers took some initiative, Barcelona still took advantage of Blackburn's big attack to complete several more threatening attacks, and even in terms of the number of shots on goal, Barcelona was better than Blackburn.

In the 32nd minute of the game, Torres received a long pass from Lampard and a long-range shot from outside the box was cleared by Pique's big foot, and Barcelona midfielder Xavi grabbed the football and counterattacked, quickly throwing off Lampard and killing directly into the front.

But before Barcelona could launch a counter-attack, Cambiaso sent Xavi to the ground with a sliding tackle. Although the referee showed no mercy and showed Cambiaso the first yellow card of the game, Barcelona's more threatening counter-attack was nipped in the bud.

That's one of the differences between the Premier League and La Liga, and while La Liga isn't a soft defence, the Premier League, which is more accustomed to attacking and defending at a faster pace, is more direct with this kind of quick counter-attack – a direct foul interrupt is fine.

However, the counter-attack seemed to be a clarion call for Barcelona to get off the ground, and then they were attacking more violently, but they were slightly lacking in their ability to take chances: three minutes later, Xavi's through ball was met by Pedro from a tight angle near the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area, and the ball slid past the goal.

Although Ibrahimovic, who is Mr. Ballon d'Or in this life, is definitely stronger than Eto'o, but after having Ibrahimovic and Messi, two Ballon d'Or strikers, Barcelona's offensive strength has not risen but fallen.

In the 36th minute, it was Xavi's precise through ball again, Messi successfully won a half-one-on-one goal against offside, but he shot the ball wide in the face of the attacking Blackburn goalkeeper Petr Cech under the interference of Thiago Silva, who was chasing back.

Seeing the missed football, Messi knelt on the grass with his head in frustration, even the always gentle Guardiola couldn't stand it - this game is too important, if Messi's goal just now can be scored, then Barcelona's hope of winning is very great!

In the face of an opponent like Blackburn, any wasted opportunity is equivalent to suicide!

Barcelona's aggressive attack horn made Blackburn players even more nervous, although they had a certain advantage in the previous games, but no team can underestimate the attack of this Spanish giant, and now that Barcelona is ready to attack with all their might, Blackburn Rovers naturally have to be careful.

The game came to the 40th minute, and the two sides were still tied 0-0.

At this time, Barcelona launched a counterattack, and Messi, who was surrounded by the Blue Devils in this game, received a pass from Busquets and rushed directly to the midfielder who was gathering heavy troops near the center circle.

Messi is a bold artist, and in the face of Alonso and Ashley Cole, who want to trap him, Messi still rushes over without hesitation.

And at this time, there was a scene that surprised Blackburn fans - because they wanted to step forward to defend Messi, so Alonso and Ashley Cole were accelerating, who knew that Messi suddenly used a "croquette" to get rid of the two of them, and was caught off guard Alonso and Ashley Cole collided together, and more importantly, Alonso was injured in the midfield and fell to the ground after colliding with Ashley Cole.

At this point, Blackburn's players are all stopped, and once a player is injured on the field, then basically the attacking team will definitely kick the ball off the sideline.

Who knew that the next scene filled the Blackburn fans in the stadium with anger, after Alonso fell to the ground, after the Blackburn players were stunned, Barcelona continued to play, and they suddenly launched a surprise attack.

Messi crossed to Keita, who crossed from the left side of the box and Pedro at the far post easily slotted the ball into the empty net.

1:0！ Blackburn is behind!

In the 41st minute, Pedro's goal gave his side the lead, and it was also Pedro's first Champions League goal of the season.

After scoring the goal from Blackburn, Pedro cheered and rushed to Keita, who provided him with the assist, and the Barcelona players in front of him hugged each other in ecstasy - except for Ibrahimovic, who was a head taller than him.

But just because Barcelona are happy doesn't mean Blackburn will give up!

There was a brief silence at the Bernabeu Stadium, followed by a tsunami of boos as angry Blackburn fans yelled at the Barcelona players.

The Blackburn Rovers players on the pitch were also furious, and under the leadership of Frank Lampard, they rushed excitedly towards the celebrating Messi and others.

On the bench on the sidelines, the always elegant Blackburn Rovers coach and the always kind Guardiola also rushed together, and the two coaches, who usually show themselves as good old men, are also arguing with red faces and thick necks at the moment.

"Didn't you see my teammates hurt? Don't you have the simplest work ethic? Can you feel comfortable scoring a goal at a time like this? Frank Lampard's temper has always been fiery and he angrily pointed at Messi and yelled loudly.

"I didn't see it." Messi defended that the Argentine, who was so focused on the breakthrough that he saw Ashley Cole and Alonso collide together, but then the image of the two falling to the ground was already in the back of his mind, so naturally he could not see it.

Messi is still ready to defend himself, but the experienced Puyol has pulled his young players away, although Barcelona is doing something questionable, but it is completely in line with the rules of football and it is reasonable.

At this time, the players on the field of Barcelona were all good-tempered, and even except for Ibrahimovic, they could be said to be relatively soft, and they had no idea of arguing with Blackburn.

"Well, luck." After watching the video replay in the box, Arthur found that the Barcelona players really can't be blamed for this goal, and there is nothing to dispute.

While many Blackburn Rovers fans were still protesting, the game continued.

Barcelona, who already had a one-goal lead, began to retract under manager Pep Guardiola, and they already had a one-goal lead and they only needed to hold on to that goal to walk away with a win at the Bernabeu.

In front of the champions, Barcelona is not immune to the vulgar start of utilitarian football.

For Barcelona fans, the most thrilling moment of the first half came in the first minute of stoppage time, when Keita's cross was met by Ibrahimovic's powerful left-footed shot from 20 yards down the middle that was blocked by Vincent Kompany.

Ibrahimovic's powerful shot was blocked straight out of the box and the players of both teams were in a scramble at Blackburn's back.

At this time, Cambiaso took the lead in touching the football with his ferocious style, and he saw that he kicked the ball directly to the midfield without looking at the situation on the field.

It's a very old choice, first of all, at least it will allow Blackburn to reorganize the defence, and as for whether this kick can be picked up by his teammates, God knows.

But soon there was a cheer from the Bernabeu Stadium, Cambiaso's clearance kicked the ball to the left of the midfield, but at this time there was some emptiness in the Barcelona backfield that pressed the attack, and Pique, who has been the background emperor many times in this game, did not appear in the position where he should have appeared at this time!

Bale got the ball with ease, and the Barcelona backfield players didn't pay enough attention to it at this time. But the Barcelona players who were fast seemed to panic because Bale was too fast!

Bale's ultra-high-speed dribbling caused chaos among the Barcelona players, and although they wanted to establish a defence in time, Bale was very fast with the ball, and Puyol didn't have time to fill in for his central defender for a long time, watching Bale successfully burst into the left side of the penalty area.

Bale didn't choose to pass back to the middle, because this time Bale's counter-attack was so fast that the rest of Blackburn's teammates didn't catch up, and even Torres was still outside the box.

Valdés' well-timed effort denied Bale an angle of shot, and the Welsh winger fired from a tight angle near the bottom line on the left side of the box, but it hit the side-netting.

Although Blackburn had the upper hand in the first half, they were unable to take the lead in this Champions League final, and it was Barcelona who won it through a sneak attack, which everyone knows is difficult for Blackburn.

But it was only 0-1 down at half-time, which was not a big problem at all for Blackburn, who had staged the miracle of Istanbul.

At half-time, there was only the heavy gasping of the players in the Blackburn dressing room, and Torres was somewhat self-reproachful, perhaps the team accidentally conceded Torres did not need to take this responsibility, but he thought of his performance on the pitch in the first half and did not take the responsibility of the Blues' number one arrowhead.

Although Torres is a great threat to Barcelona in the attack, but no goal is no goal, and a striker who can threaten the opponent's goal but does not score is no better than a striker who can often score dribbling balls.

In Ancelotti's gentle second-half tactical arrangement, the Blackburn players expressed their determination to win the game, Torres also grabbed a towel and wiped it on his face indiscriminately, and said loudly: "Man, believe me, I will work hard, I will not let you down!" ”

Before leaving the locker room, Torres and his teammates gently bumped punches one by one and walked out of the locker room with a determined look on their faces.

The decisive battle has just begun! (To be continued.) )
