"Strange, where did Guardiola go?"

More than one commentator has raised this question, and five minutes into the second half, the manager is still not present in the dugout of the visiting Barcelona team.

At this point, the score on the field was three to one.

Just two minutes into the second half, Barcelona pulled a goal back.

It was a well-placed free-kick from Barcelona up front, and Messi's free-kick was of high quality and flew into the corner.

After pulling a goal back, Barcelona saw a glimmer of hope and launched a fierce attack.

"Critical interception!" John. "Clement, he's always able to be in the most critical position at the most critical moments. ”

Andres Iniesta burst into the box and delivered a cross-cross that Clement slid down to get the ball out.

'Counter-attack, Aston Villa's counter-attacking chance.'

Milner saved the ball before it went off the touchline and then went straight to Modric.

Modric did not choose to carry the ball himself, but went straight to attack with a long pass.

Bale made a nice stop on the wing, got rid of it, did it in one go, and then began to accelerate the dribble.

He was about to go down, but he passed the football to Suarez, who came to pick it up.

Suarez picked up the ball in the ribs and Bale cut in at high speed from behind him to attract Alves' attention.

Suarez took the opportunity to suddenly cut inside and tea into the (not a typo) exclusion zone!

Alves was shocked and rushed back to defend.

Suarez immediately stabbed the ball to Bale in time.

Bale swiped the ball and ran along the bottom line into the penalty area!

……

"Breakthrough! Nice fit! ”

After seeing Bale break through, there was chaos in front of Barcelona's goal.

Klose was jockeying with Mascherano for a spot, and the German veteran squeezed forward desperately to grab the spot.

The Barcelona defenders pounced on Bale in a panic, intending to stop him before he could pass or shoot, using their bodies to block the ball off the line.

Bale didn't give them a chance to form an encirclement and before the encirclement was complete, the Welshman swept the ball in front of goal with a left-footed sweep!

Klose threw his body out and tackled.

However, Klose was not able to throw his body out completely under Mascherano's close defence, and he was not able to touch the football.

In the middle, Mane cut in and fired directly at the football.

The football flew into Barcelona's goal without any suspense......

Valdés didn't have time to react, he could only watch as the ball flew into the net."

"Four to one! Aston Villa quickly stretched the score to three goals again, Mane, it was a very crucial goal! ”

Mane was so excited after the goal that he turned to run to Bale, who had passed the ball to him, and the two men hugged each other tightly.

Off the field, Fang Jue was applauding? Cheers for the goal.

Meantime? Fang Jue turned his head to look at the away team's coach's box, and Guardiola still did not appear.

……

A minute later? Pep Guardiola is back in the dugout.

The face is ugly.

He yelled in the bathroom and cut his throat? Finally, a staff member found out about the situation here.

But what is it that devastated Guardiola? The staff told him that the spare toilet paper in the bathroom was wet with water for some reason.

Can Guardiola only have to wait a few more minutes? It was not until the staff brought toilet paper that he was rescued.

"I want to complain!" Pep Guardiola said angrily.

"Whatever." The staff ignored him? UEFA also doesn't explicitly stipulate that toilets must be flushed with toilet paper at all times.

"It was deliberate, and I asked for monitoring after the game to see who did it." Does Pep Guardiola think it's no accident that toilet paper gets wet? It must be Diao Min who wants to harm him.

"Do you have surveillance cameras in the bathroom?" Guardiola, who was scolded by the staff, was speechless.

That's why he's belatedly pale with a bad complexion.

'One to four? 'Guardiola looked up at the scoreboard? I asked the assistant and learned about the situation, and my face became even more ugly.

Although 1-4 is better than 0-3, although they are both chasing two balls, but? In a 0-3 situation, 2-3 is just an equalizer on aggregate? Three to four is to eliminate Aston Villa, but-

Barcelona just pulled a goal back? Aston Villa quickly put the score ahead again, which shows that Aston Villa's strong attacking ability continues to exert its power? Barcelona want to chase two more goals without conceding any more? It's just too hard.

……

Five minutes later? Fifty-nine minutes into the game, Guardiola couldn't sit still and made substitutions.

Xavi was substituted and Thiago came off the bench.

Xavi was the brainchild of Barcelona's midfield, however, he was closely guarded by Clement in today's game.

His performance today can only be described as quite average.

Perhaps this has something to do with Xavi's injury, given the crucial nature of the game, Barcelona's midfield brain was on the pitch today.

In addition, there is also a point that Xavi has a yellow card, and in the case of Busquets being sent off with a red card, Xavi also has to take on certain defensive tasks, which makes Xavi's yellow card very dangerous, and once he is sent off again, Barcelona will be completely out of play.

Barcelona made adjustments, and Fang Jue immediately followed.

De Bruyne finished his warm-up, and Fang Jue called the little guy nicknamed 'Tintin' over.

'It's four to one now, there's nothing stopping us from qualifying, so don't be pressured.'

"I know, boss." Hearing Fang Jue speak to himself in a rookie tone, De Bruyne was unhappy, "It's not my first time playing. ”

Fang Jue laughed when he heard him say this, "That's right, you're not a rookie, you're a veteran with two assists in the Champions League." ”

De Bruyne scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

'Xavi was substituted, Cesc Fabregas was still on the pitch, he had cards on him, to tell everybody to take advantage of that.' Fang Jue said.

De Bruyne nodded, indicating that he understood.

Kevin De Bruyne came off the bench to replace veteran Klose.

Sadio Mane's position was moved up front, with Kevin De Bruyne playing in Mane's position.

Pep Guardiola saw the substitution in the dugout and whispered a foul word.

Fang Jue was too cunning.

Replacing the veteran with a relatively large physical exertion and replacing it with a young man with a fast speed is to see that Barcelona must press out in order to fight Barcelona's counterattack.

Pep Guardiola looked very impatient......

From time to time, he got up from the dugout and paced to the sidelines.

From time to time, I would look up at the score on the big screen, look at the time on my watch, or turn my head to communicate with my assistant.

……

"Pep, have you noticed that the referee is (back) to normal."

Pep Guardiola snorted, and of course he noticed that after the start of the second half, the referee no longer seemed to be biased in favour of Aston Villa or deliberately targeting Barcelona.

The current law enforcement scale can be said to be relatively fair.

However, Pep Guardiola will not be grateful to Dade, in his opinion, it is more like the referee 'completed the task in the first half' and thinks that Aston Villa has been able to promote, so the so-called justice has been restored.

In Guardiola's view, Aston Villa's second and third goals were problematic, especially the third goal and the penalty, which was simply out of nowhere, and he couldn't imagine that Lang Lang Qiankun would have such a shameful decision.

In my impression, it can be said that it is 'comparable' to the 2002 World Cup.

……

As the clock ticked by, Barcelona's attack still didn't pay off.

On the contrary, it was Aston Villa's counterattack that was impressive.

Sixty-ninth minute of the game.

Aston Villa hit a quick counter-attack.

Mane picked up the ball on the flank and suddenly cut inside laterally and fired a shot at goal.

Valdés' pounced ball hit Mascherano's head, bounced off the crossbar and went off the line.

Aston Villa's corner.

Pep Guardiola was taken aback, if this goal was scored again, Barcelona would be four goals behind, and it would be basically finished.

At the same time, Pep Guardiola was also a little helpless, he felt that the team's luck today was simply terrible, Mane's shot was not too threatening, and Valdés obviously had a problem with his hand when he pounced.

Of course, he managed to save the football, but he was almost hit by Mascherano with a header.

……

Gareth. Bale stood at the corner, ready to take the spot.

This made Valdés a little nervous.

As everyone knows. Barcelona players are generally not tall, in the past they mainly relied on Pique and Busquets to defend their defense, and now, Busquets has been sent off with a red card, only Pique has a high point, and the air defense capability has been further weakened.

Bale takes the corner.

Suarez grabbed the spot, and Pique followed him closely.

This is one of Aston Villa's corner kick tactics.

Peake was lured away.

The ball went to the back post, where Papastathopoulos smashed a direct header into the goal.

Defending him was Puyol, the experienced Barcelona captain who spotted the landing and almost as Papastathopoulos jumped, Puyol followed suit.

However, after all, he is a veteran who is about to turn thirty-four, and he was directly pressed by Papastathopoulos and completed the header.

Valdés felt his right hand touch the football, but, to his despair, he did not have the strength to stop the ball from moving forward.

The soccer ball flew into the net, rolling up the snow-white net aaaaal! ”

"Papastathopoulos! The Greeks scored their first Champions League goal of the season five to one, with Aston Villa four goals ahead of Barcelona and all but sealed their ticket to promotion. ”
