Cheng Hai retreated to midfield to receive the ball, but Lewandowski did not.

As a centre-forward, Lewandowski has to be up front most of the time.

If Lewandowski's running position is good enough, with Cheng Hai's perfect long pass ability in the air, it is possible to send the ball to his head and allow him to form a great header opportunity.

In this counter-attack, Lewandowski was in a very good position, with only one defender Seydoux Keita by his side.

As a central defender, Keita's height is not bad, but he is 1cm shorter than Lewandowski, and Lewandowski may overtake Keita in the aerial battle.

Seeing such a situation, Cheng Hai did not hesitate, and hurriedly dodged a gap by smashing the ball, and then hoisted the ball to the front court on the right side of the midfield, landing at the top of the arc of the big penalty area.

Although he is also young, Lewandowski's movement is still very thief.

Originally, he was behind Keita, slightly half a body behind, and there was no offside.

But after seeing Cheng Hai's long pass, he suddenly accelerated, rushed out from behind Keita, and rushed to the landing point at the top of the arc of the big penalty area.

Although Keita also judged the right landing point and rushed up together, he had to observe Lewandowski's running position while observing the ball in the air at the same time, so the jump was not as full as Lewandowski's, and the two weighed about the same, and the physical collision was not advantageous.

So, the ball was finally grabbed by Lewandowski for the first point, and a flick of his head on the line of the penalty area hit the goal, and the ball was hoisted to the left foot of the goal.

Of course, the speed of the header is not as fast as the shot made with a foot volley, but Barcelona goalkeeper Valdés just now stood a little forward because the ball was still at the feet of midfielder Cheng Hai.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Hai suddenly made a long pass, and the ball reached the top of the arc of the big penalty area in just two or three seconds, and was forced by Lewandowski to grab Keita and shake his head to attack the goal.

Although Valdés was desperately trying to get back and returned to the six-yard box before the ball fell into goal, jumping up to try to lift the ball over the crossbar.

But Lewandowski's header was unlucky and unexpectedly topped out an excellent route.

The ball slipped just past Valdés' fingertips as he took off and then slid into the net against the underside of the crossbar.

This is pretty much the only route.

If you go any higher, you have to fly off the beam or hit it and pop off the beam. If you go any lower, you'll have to be pounced on by Valdés.

So Lewandowski was lucky.

Because of Barrios's injury, Lewandowski is trying to perform well and secure the position of the first center forward, even if Barrios returns from injury, he can't be shaken!

The result was the opening goal in the world-renowned European Super Cup.

Therefore, Lewandowski is also very excited.

Despite stumbling in the air when he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground, he immediately steadied himself and excitedly rushed to the stands where Dortmund fans had gathered, and celebrated.

Cheng Hai and other teammates also rushed to the front court excitedly, hugged and high-fived Lewandowski.

To be able to take the lead in the first goal against Cosmos Barcelona is undoubtedly something to celebrate.

On the commentary seat, commentators from various countries also watched the excitement and said as if it was not a big deal:

"The ball is in!" 'Borussia Dortmund opened the scoring and scored first.'

"It was Lewandowski who scored the goal, but the assist came from Cheng Hai!"

"Cheng Hai sent a long pass in the air in the midfield, found the top of Lewandowski's head like a precision-guided missile, and assisted Lewandowski to score the first goal of the game with a header."

"There is no doubt that in this face-to-face game and competition, Cheng Hai took the lead and temporarily led Messi."

"If Barcelona loses to Borussia Dortmund and Messi loses to Cheng Hai in this battle of European kings, it is really unknown what the result of the Ballon d'Or voting at the end of the year will be!"

"Let's see what Messi can do next!"

However, there was too little time left in the first half, Messi didn't show anything, Barcelona didn't even complete a shot on goal, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

Because of Cheng Hai's deterrence, Barcelona controlled the ball at their feet for a long time, and the overall possession rate in the first half was as high as 67%, but there were few shots on goal.

In the entire first half, Messi only had two shots on goal, and Barcelona only had four shots on goal as a whole, and no goal was scored.

Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, had too little possession and too few chances to attack and shoot, with only three shots on goal in total.

Fortunately, Lewandowski grasped Cheng Hai's long pass assist and helped Dortmund take a 1-0 lead.

The two sides entered the break with a score of 1-0, and Cheng Hai's Dortmund temporarily led Messi's Barcelona by one goal.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

At half-time, perhaps because of the poor performance of striker Villa, Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola replaced him with Cesc Fabregas, who was born in Barcelona's academy La Masia Football Academy, became famous at Arsenal and only bought back this summer.

After the start of the second half, Barcelona continued to control the initiative on the field with their passing advantage, but because of the score behind, they were finally forced to strengthen the attack.

Messi's breakthroughs have also increased.

Messi has a nickname called Little Flea, which not only proves his small stature, but also vividly proves his flexibility and explosiveness in a small space.

In terms of the ability to break through near the penalty area with the ball, because of Cheng Hai's insufficient number of skills and easy to be guessed by the opponent, his breakthrough ability may not be as good as Messi.

Therefore, after Messi strengthened the breakthrough, coupled with the passing and cutting cooperation of other Barcelona teammates such as Xavi, Iniesta, and Fabregas, Barcelona's pass-and-control football finally played its due power.

Cesc Fabregas, in particular, was in his first competitive game since returning to Barcelona from Arsenal and was very keen to show himself.

And he himself came from the La Masia Academy, so he has no discomfort playing Barcelona pass-and-control football.

As a result, just after the start of the second half, in the 53rd minute, Cesc Fabregas, Iniesta, and Messi played a delicate team play in the front.

First, it was Messi who broke through Sebastian Kyle, causing panic among defenders near the Dortmund penalty area.

Messi then did not continue to break through, but sent the ball to Iniesta's feet.

Iniesta made a gesture to pass to Messi, causing Dortmund's defenders Hummels, Subotic and others to nervously block the passing route between him and Messi, as well as Messi's possible shooting route.

However, Iniesta flicked his ankle and sent the ball to the feet of Cesc Fabregas, who was cut in on the other side of the penalty area.

Cesc Fabregas received the ball from Andres Iniesta unguarded and made a shot on goal.

This time caused all the Dortmund defenders to be shocked.

The nearest defender rushed over to block Cesc Fabregas' shot.

Goalkeeper Weidenfeller was equally flustered and pounced on Cesc Fabregas's side, trying to save Fabregas's shot with all his might.

As a result, Fabregas did not shoot at such a good opportunity, and the falling foot actually deducted the ball, not only shaking down goalkeeper Weidenfeller, but also deducting full-back Piszczek who flew to block the gun's eye.

Then, before anyone else could react, Cesc Fabregas crossed the ball to the other side of the six-yard box.

A small man in a Barcelona shirt burst out of the crowd and stabbed the ball from Cesc Fabregas to the other side of the six-yard box into the Borussia Dortmund empty net after Weidenfeller fell to the ground.

It was Messi who scored.

The commentator of the Spanish TV station in the commentary booth suddenly roared excitedly, singing praises for Messi's goal, and the Barcelona fans in the stands also applauded and cheered excitedly one by one to celebrate Messi's goal.

Messi equalised for Barcelona.

Moreover, he has a direct goal, which is a little better than Cheng Hai's assist. In terms of data, there is no doubt that Messi has the advantage.

Cesc Fabregas's assist and Messi's goal boosted Barcelona's morale, which not only proves the seamless connection between Cesc Fabregas and Barcelona, but also proves that Messi's form in this game is no worse than Cheng Hai.

Next, Barcelona, who were immersed in the joy of scoring goals, began to attack continuously, as if they wanted to build on their efforts and immediately reversed the score.

However, they didn't notice that as they kept attacking, once a shot was formed, the Mets changed hands and gave the ball to Borussia Dortmund.

Borussia Dortmund got more possession.

As a result, less than 10 minutes after Messi scored the goal, in the 61st minute, Dortmund seized the opportunity of Barcelona's shot to complete a high-quality counterattack.

This time it was also from Messi's breakthrough shot, but he didn't completely break through Dortmund's entire defence, only breaking through two people, and then shot from the right side of the penalty area.

As a result, a flying tackle from the side by central defender Subotic blocked the ball from the gun's eye.

The ball hit Subotic's upper and bounced off full-back Schmelzer.

Schmelzer did not stop the ball, and directly passed the ball without stopping the ball, and sent the ball to the feet of forward Gundogan.

At this time, Cheng Hai had already used his speed to rush to the position of the middle line, and was about to form an anti-offside position on Barcelona's back line.

Gundogan, who got the ball, stopped and wiped off Xavi, who was stealing, and then stuffed the ball straight to the ground and stuffed the ball behind Barcelona defender Abidal.

And at the moment of Gundogan's pass, Cheng Hai squeezed through the gap between Abidal and Seydoux Keita, forming an anti-offside position.
