Chapter 366: The Invisible Dividing Line

Despite the improvement of Barcelona's performance in the second half, Messi also stepped up in the 63rd minute to pull a goal back for his team, narrowing the deficit from two goals to one.

But then Barcelona couldn't score another goal.

The gap between this one ball suddenly became like a moat, which was insurmountable.

Looking at Barcelona's various sieges of Valencia's goal at the last moment, people including Messi, Suarez and Neymar tried their best, but they couldn't do anything about Valencia's goal.

Many Barcelona fans have a sense of sadness - if this is replaced by the previous Barcelona, what is the difference of just one goal? Whoever in the MSN group has a flash of inspiration is enough to end the game.

But now, the whole Barcelona team is like a walking dead who have lost their souls, just attacking mechanically, but without any aura.

Why is this happening?

The world seems to have a dividing line that is invisible to the naked eye.

Everything is normal in the world before this dividing line, it is the world that Barcelona fans are familiar with, Barcelona can call the wind and rain, do whatever they want, and they are never the only ones who bully others, and no one else can bully them.

After this dividing line, there is indeed a world that Barcelona fans are incredibly alien and uncomfortable with, a world in which they were able to win by three goals in the first leg and be reversed by four goals in the second leg. In this world, they were able to lead the league by two goals in the first half by 12th-placed Valencia, and they couldn't even equalize......

Where is this dividing line?

Maybe it's the 0:4 Champions League quarter-final......

Anyway, after that game, Barcelona fans felt that the world had changed drastically.

In fact, even if Barcelona equalized and drew 2:2 with Valencia, it would not be good for them.

Because they are two points behind Atletico Madrid in the league standings.

With Atletico Madrid already victorious, even if they draw this game, the difference will be stretched to four points, which is no different from losing the game.

What Barcelona need is a win.

But now they can't even ask for a draw.

What a sad thing to see in the eyes of every Barcelona fan......

Are we going to lose the league title after losing the Champions League?

Losing two titles in a row in one week, there's no darker week than this!

In the final moments of the game, after Neymar's breakthrough was broken, he turned back and kicked down the Valencia player in retaliation.

But Neymar didn't think he was a foul, and he didn't let go of it and yelled at the Valencia player Mustafi who fell to the ground, thinking that he had faked the fall.

In addition to earning him a yellow card for himself, it also allowed more Valencia players to come around and ask for explanations for their team-mates, while taking the opportunity to stall for time in an open way.

But no Barcelona players came up to persuade Neymar to stay calm and seize the time to let the game go on so they could have a chance to score.

The rest of the Barcelona players either gathered around to help Neymar tear up, just like the Valencia players, or they stood far away, oblivious to what was happening in front of them, as if anything on the pitch had nothing to do with them.

Maybe they were right and sensible to do so, because by this time the game was already 87 minutes old, and the rest of the time, including injury time, was not enough for them to score two goals in a row......

If you can't win the game by scoring two goals in a row, you can only score one goal to equalize, so why rush it?

A draw won't help anyway and won't help keep the pressure on Atletico Madrid.

Both the Catalan commentators and the Barcelona fans in the stands can see that Barcelona is on its way.

Whether it's this game, or the next entire league title race, Barcelona is on the way.

After losing this game, there is a five-point difference to Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid heard the good news, the whole team is united, the state is long, even if they lose one of the remaining five league rounds, Barcelona will be at most two points away.

It will still be difficult to shake Atletico Madrid's position at the top of the league.

And judging from Atletico Madrid's more and more stable performance in the end, maybe people won't even give Barcelona a chance to lose.

It's hard to imagine that Barcelona will be robbed of the league title by Atletico Madrid for three consecutive seasons......

Catalan narrator sighs: "What a dark week......

Manuel Blanco wanted to smash the phone in his hand, but he held back, what about the latest Samsung phone...... He was still a little reluctant.

Although he can't smash his phone, the emotions in his heart need to be vented.

He yelled in the press box: "Damn it! What kind of is this?! It's only one ball missing, why can't it go in? We have piled up so many good attackers in the front court, why are they all collectively dumb? So far, I can only rely on one Messi...... But Messi can save you once, twice, three times, but he can't save you countless times! Can't you just think of a way? Bastard! Shameful! ”

He scolded as if no one was in the media seat, but no one expressed surprise or sideways, because there were some people scolding, and some people didn't scold it in their mouths, but it was probably because they scolded more harshly and dirty in their hearts, and they were embarrassed to scold directly......

The ordinary Barcelona fans in the stands held their heads in their hands and stared blankly at the farce on the field, and they did not boo, because at this time the boos were meaningless no matter who they were given to.

The game ended after six minutes of stoppage time, and although the referee gave six minutes of stoppage time, Barcelona didn't catch it at all.

Still failed to score.

The score was fixed at 1:2, and Barcelona lost at home.

Gao Zheng saw the results of the game on his mobile phone, and as soon as he returned home, he received the real-time news that popped up on his mobile phone.

Then he immediately posted a tweet, just one word, and also posted Weibo at the same time.

Whether it's Twitter or Weibo, they all mean the same thing: "It's stable!" ”

And the fans on the Internet obviously knew the results of the game over there, and rushed in one by one to celebrate under Gao Zheng's Twitter or Weibo.

As Atletico Madrid fans or Gao Zheng fans, they envision a lot of scenarios for this season's league title race.

None of them expected the end of the suspense not because of Atletico Madrid, but because Barcelona themselves dropped the chain......

After being eliminated from the Champions League, some of them expressed concern that Barcelona's withdrawal from the Champions League and putting all their energy into the competition for the league title would put huge pressure on Atletico Madrid.

In the end, it is possible that Atletico Madrid reached the last four of the Champions League but lost the league title.

It's hard to say whether the Champions League will be won, but it can already be seen whether the league championship is still alive or not.

There is also a feeling that the league title battle between the two teams may continue until the final round of the league, as it was last season. After all, Atletico Madrid is only ahead of Barcelona, if both sides do not make mistakes and get the final round, if Atletico Madrid loses the game and Barcelona wins, they can reverse the counterattack. Just like Atletico Madrid did against Barcelona in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Now it seems that the situation is so optimistic, Barcelona have just lost the Champions League and have fallen behind in the league...... Are they scared out of Atletico Madrid?!
