When Swiss referee Bussaka blew the whistle for the end of the match, the entire Camp Nou erupted in deafening cheers.

The more than 95,000 fans in the stadium were all chanting Messi's name.

The Argentine superstar celebrated his team's victory with his hands held high above his head as he clapped vigorously after the whistle blew.

3-1, Barcelona reversed Arsenal at home and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League with an aggregate score of 4-3.

In addition to scoring a brilliant goal in the final moments of stoppage time in the first half, Messi also relied on his own ability to create a penalty in the second half and scored the third goal for Barcelona, and then helped the team beat the opponent 3-1 on aggregate.

With a brace, Messi's Champions League tally this season has increased to eight, the most in a single season in the history of his career, and he is confident that he can exceed ten, if not more.

Champions League goals in double figures, which no one but Yang Yang has been able to do in the past three or four years.

Including Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo.

Messi high-fived, hugged his teammates, and walked off the pitch with his shoulders hooked.

Messi was able to defeat Arsenal 3-1 at home, especially when the two central defenders Puyol and Pique were both absent at the same time, Messi's leadership role is even more obvious.

On the sidelines, the Barcelona coaching staff and staff were also happy and excitedly celebrating.

In the first leg, a 2-1 defeat away to Arsenal, followed by draws with Sporting Gijón and Sevilla, Barcelona was also under heavy pressure, and it was only at this moment that it was a little more relaxed.

With the strength of Barcelona, it is well deserved to break into the quarterfinals, but playing Arsenal is full of twists and turns.

"Is the result of the other stadium out?" Messi asked with concern.

Assistant coach Villanova took over with a smile this time, "Come out, Real Madrid performed well, won Lyon 3-0, and the total score was 5-1 to advance, and the gap between Lyon and Real Madrid's strength is still quite large." ”

Messi was stunned when he heard this, "How many Yang Yang entered?" There was concern in his eyes.

Villanova smiled, "Don't worry, he'll get one." ”

Messi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said in his heart: Fortunately, only one entered.

Due to his absence from the group stage, Yang Yang only played two legs of the round of 16 knockout rounds, scoring one in one game, a total of two, and there is still a gap of six goals from Messi's eight goals.

Of course, with the current situation of both sides, it is difficult to say what will happen next, but Barcelona also reached the quarterfinals.

In other words, even if Real Madrid really played in the Champions League final, it would only be five games, and it would be almost impossible for Yang Yang to recover six goals in the remaining five games.

Everyone knows how difficult it is to score goals in the knockout rounds of the Champions League.

What's more, Barcelona also reached the quarterfinals, as long as Messi continues to perform well and wins both legs, it will not be difficult to maintain the lead.

"Don't worry, in the Champions League, it is impossible for Yang Yang to catch up with you." Vilanova patted Messi on the shoulder and said confidently.

"yes, no matter how good that guy is, when he reaches the quarterfinals of the Champions League, he can still keep scoring goals like La Liga?"

"Don't think too much, Leo, as long as we concentrate on playing a good game, successfully pass the quarterfinals, enter the semifinals, and even enter the finals, then why do you have to worry about being overtaken by Yang Yang?"

"However, I think Real Madrid have also been very solid this season, and I'm afraid they are also bent on making a difference in the Champions League and the Copa del Rey, after all, they have always thought that the league is hopeless."

"Champions League? Do you really think they have a chance? ”

"Isn't it? In the nearly 20 years since the Champions League was restructured, no team has been able to successfully defend the title, and neither is Real Madrid. ”

"I heard that Benitez is going to leave class, Real Madrid has already started to look for a new coach, in this case, how much fighting power can Real Madrid have to hold on to the end?"

……

Teammates, you and I discussed word by word, and every word they said brought confidence to Messi.

There is no doubt that Messi is the banner of Barcelona and the number one superstar in the Barcelona team, all Barcelona players regard Messi as the pride of the team, and as long as Messi defeats Yang Yang, it is not only Messi's personal glory, but also the glory of everyone in Barcelona.

Messi listened to his teammates, he just maintained a humble and kind smile, and did not participate in it, but as long as anyone who is familiar with Messi, it is not difficult to detect his inner desire from his eyes.

He is eager to defeat Yang Yang, even if it is only once, even if it is just one event.

In the past few years, Yang Yang has swept almost the entire European football scene, and after joining Real Madrid last season, Yang Yang won the top scorer and assist king in the Champions League and La Liga, and won major awards.

In rough terms, not to mention meat, there is no soup left for Messi.

In that case, Messi will have to rely on himself.

If he can win the top scorer in the Champions League in front of Yang Yang this season, it will undoubtedly be a big blow to Yang Yang, at least let Yang Yang know that he is not invincible.

Messi will also gain confidence from this victory.

Everything is like this, as long as there is a first time, there is a beginning, then it will come one after another.

Real Madrid beat Lyon 3-0 at home, with goals from Yang Yang, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Arjen Robben.

The outburst of the front trident helped the team beat the Ligue 1 team completely, and then eliminated the opponent with an aggregate score of 5-1 and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, which made Real Madrid feel full of confidence.

Looking at the knockout rounds of the Champions League round of 16 this season, the biggest upset was Tottenham Hotspur from the Premier League, which defeated AC Milan 1-0 on aggregate and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

It was a real surprise that the Rossoneri were in the round of 16 and fell to Tottenham Hotspur, a Premier League upstart.

What's even more interesting is that Yang Yang's friends Van der Vaart and Pienaar, as well as Liverpool's best partner Crouch are all in the current Tottenham Hotspur team, and they are all doing very well.

The most highly regarded midfielder for Tottenham Hotspur, Croatian star Luka Modric, a 25-year-old midfielder who has already attracted the attention of several Premier League giants, including Chelsea, and Real Madrid are also interested in him.

The main reason is that Real Madrid is not satisfied with Gago's performance.

At present, Real Madrid's bench thickness is still quite strong, but in the position of organizing the midfield, especially in the midfield, there is only Xavi Alonso, and Gago has not shown reassuring strength.

At times, Benitez has even preferred to let Granero, or even play as a lone midfielder, without Gago.

In addition to Tottenham Hotspur, Shakhtar Donetsk's 6-2 aggregate elimination of Red Wolves Roma was also a rather surprising result, and no one expected that the Serie A powerhouse would lose to the Ukrainian team.

After the call, Inter Milan dominated Serie A and Roma also rose to the rise, but Roma have not shown convincing results over the years.

Related to Real Madrid, Schalke of the Bundesliga eliminated Valencia 4-2 on aggregate over four legs, with Raul scoring a goal for his third Champions League goal of the season.

After Yang Yang got the news, he specially sent a congratulatory text message to Raul.

Even after Raul left the team, the two of them still maintained frequent contact, and every time Raul returned to Madrid, he would visit Yang Yang's home.

After the draw, Real Madrid drew Tottenham Hotspur from the Premier League in the quarterfinals.

These two teams just met in the group stage, but they didn't expect to meet again in the quarterfinals of the Champions League in the blink of an eye.

Chelsea and Manchester United are in the same half as Real Madrid, which has created a situation in which three Premier League teams encircle Real Madrid in the whole half, which has also sparked heated discussions in the British and Spanish media.

As for Barcelona, they faced Shakhtar Donetsk in the quarterfinals, the other two teams were Schalke 04 and Inter Milan.

Overall, there are still upsets in this season's Champions League, but there are also strong matchups.

March 19, the twenty-ninth round of La Liga.

Real Madrid ushered in the Madrid derby and visited the Calderón Stadium to challenge Atletico Madrid.

Before the game, the Spanish media ridiculed that Real Madrid lost to Atletico Madrid last time, and Spain was still using the peseta, which was Spain's former currency, until the beginning of this century, when it switched to the euro.

Real Madrid have not lost to Atletico in more than a decade, and the clash between the two teams looks more like a ninety-minute duel in which Real Madrid have three points.

So much so that before the game, some media ridiculed that Calderón Stadium has become Real Madrid's stable three-point granary.

Affected by the Champions League in midweek, Yang Yang's form in this game has dropped and he did not show his best form, but Ibrahimovic was very active after the opening, frequently dribbling the ball into the Atletico penalty area.

In the 11th minute, Xavi Alonso passed, Kaka picked up the pass with the instep of his foot for the first time, and Ibrahimovic blocked two Atletico defenders with his body, then turned to catch up with the ball to form a single goal, 1-0.

Then in the 32nd minute, Ibrahimovic pulled to the side to receive the ball and passed it to Yang Yang.

Yang Yang dribbled the ball to attract the attention of defenders, and then passed to Marcelo, the Brazilian burst into the left side of the penalty area and returned the pass, and the unguarded Kaka followed up with a push.

De Gea reacted and saved the ball with one hand, but it eventually landed on the goal line and Real Madrid doubled their lead.

After leading by two goals, Real Madrid continued to maintain the advantage on the field, but in the end failed to break through Atletico Madrid's goal, but in the 86th minute of the second half, Atletico Madrid played a counterattack, Aguero and Coke combined with Koke, and pushed the goal into the penalty area.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid 2-1 away to beat the Sheets twice this season.

At the other stadium, Barcelona beat Getafe 2-1 at home, winning three points without danger and maintaining a five-point advantage over Real Madrid.

Messi has failed to score in three consecutive rounds.
