Xavi's arrival, Barcelona reorganized the iron triangle of possession in the midfield.

This should be the last performance of Barcelona's golden three, because at the end of the season, Xavi will officially leave Barcelona to play in the Middle East, and the golden possession triangle will also fall apart.

Even, by this season, Rakitic has basically replaced Xavi as the team's main midfielder.

But at this time, Luis Enrique brought Xavi on the side, clearly wanting to strengthen the team's midfield possession.

For Barcelona, possession is the safest way to control the game, more reliable than defense, because their defense is not solid, and it can even be described as bad.

As soon as Xavi came on, Real Madrid began to find themselves in a dilemma.

They want to press out to attack, but they are worried about being counterattacked by the opponent, and Barcelona's front trident has always been in front of Real Madrid's defense, sharpening their knives and looking at the posture, as long as there is a chance, they can create goals again.

But if they continue to defend steadily, Barcelona will certainly be happy because they can slowly burn off time.

2-1, Barcelona has grabbed the key node of the Champions League final.

Real Madrid organized a counter-attack, but was hit by Barcelona on a counter-attack, first Neymar's long-range shot from outside the penalty area, after being saved by Courtois, Ramos cleared the ball and did not kick far, Cristiano Ronaldo headed the ball directly to the top of the net when he hit the goal on the right side of the goal, and failed to create a goal, but it was scary enough.

……

On the pitch, Barcelona controlled the ball, controlled the tempo, and controlled the situation, while Real Madrid was in a dilemma, which made all Barcelona fans satisfied, even excited.

Carlo Ancelotti made his first substitution of the game, bringing on Angel Di Maria for David Silva.

The substitution also saw a change in the team's midfield, with Mascherano and Toni Kroos forming a double midfield, with Angel Di Maria coming on the right and James Rodriguez returning to the middle to play in a midfield position.

Real Madrid's formation has changed into a four-two-three-one formation.

Clearly, Carlo Ancelotti wants his team to create more attacking chances.

But no matter how the opponent changes, Barcelona has a goal in hand, and it still responds to all changes with the same.

After Xavi came on the pitch, both the passing and control of the ball in the midfield and the overall control of the game were obviously better than before.

Although this kind of stable situation is calm and a little dull, it is also reassuring.

Especially the Barça fans sitting in the stands.

……

Barça President Bartomeu sat in the stand, rubbing his hands constantly, but the expression on his face became more and more excited.

In this race, his mood felt like a roller coaster.

Just three minutes into the game, Barcelona's sudden goal made him ecstatic, and he was even so excited that he shouted like other ordinary fans, looking very different and eye-catching in the chairman's stand where political and business celebrities gathered.

But then, Real Madrid quickly stabilized their position and began to find their rhythm steadily, making Barcelona unable to create a threat again, which worried Bartomeu and sometimes gave him a heartbeat.

Especially in the second half, Yang Yang's goal made his heart rise to the door, and he even began to panic.

Equalised!

If you follow the script of the original derby of the century, is Real Madrid going to reverse next?

But that drama didn't happen tonight.

At the critical moment, Messi finally played the strength of his top superstar in the face of Real Madrid, used a sudden back insertion, relied on his personal ability to force the ball, and after shaking off Mascherano, he suddenly shot a cold arrow from a distance, causing Courtois to get out of his hands, and then Cristiano Ronaldo, who has a keen sense of smell, picked up a miss in front of the goal.

Two to one!

Bartomeu's heart is stable again!

Xavi's appearance further appeased Bartomeu, because all Barcelona fans have an inexplicable trust and even dependence on the golden triangle of midfield that year.

When they saw the three midfielders Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets reappear on the pitch, they really felt as if they were back in the peak of Barca and the year when they swept the Europa League.

What's more, Xavi's appearance represents Luis Enrique's confidence.

He wants to keep the score 2-1 until the end!

"After winning this game, we have to put on a huge farewell ceremony for Xavi, and then we can resign en masse with peace of mind." Bartomeu laughed.

The vice-president and the Barcelona management were all smiles and were clearly very happy with the result.

As a famous legend of Barcelona, Xavi is leaving the team, and it is not surprising that a huge farewell ceremony will be held for him, but with tonight's Champions League, Xavi's farewell ceremony will add a bit more weight and meaning.

As for the subsequent collective resignation of the president and management, this is also a consistent tradition at Barça.

This summer, Barça will hold a general election for the presidency, and it is customary for Bartomeu and his management to resign en masse and then run for the presidency, and if elected, he will be able to rebuild his management team.

If there is tonight's Champions League, then Bartomeu will have a better chance of winning the race.

Today's Real Madrid is undoubtedly strong, and it can even be said that it is the strongest team in European football, there is no one, and Barcelona can snatch the Champions League they want most in front of such Real Madrid, and crush their dream of defending the treble, which is undoubtedly a great achievement.

With this achievement, Bartomeu is full of confidence in the upcoming presidential election.

Thinking of this, the president of Barcelona looked at the field again, Barcelona was still in the middle and back of the field, he exhaled heavily, looked at the time, and entered the eighty minutes.

"For the last ten minutes, grit your teeth again and hold on."

It was at this time that Real Madrid made their second substitution.

Suarez is on!

……

Luis Enrique has been waiting for Real Madrid's substitution.

He is most worried about two players, one is Di Maria and the other is Suarez.

Luka Modric failed to play, and there was no suspense in Real Madrid's midfield, but it was different up front, Di Maria was able to give Real Madrid a strong one-on-one breakthrough ability on the wing, and his speed was very advantageous.

Di Maria's form this season is not very good, and he was vaguely suppressed by James Rodriguez, but this is a slight drop after the peak, and the strength of the Argentine winger is still undoubted.

Suarez's substitution was somewhat surprising, and many people originally speculated that Real Madrid would adopt a two-striker style of play, but as a result, Ancelotti hid Suarez and adopted a more controlling four-three-three formation, allowing Yang Yang to play as a single striker.

As it turned out, this set of plays failed!

So when and in what way will Suarez be on?

Ancelotti didn't let Suarez play in the 1-1 equaliser, proving that he doesn't want to break the boat too early.

As a result, the Uruguayan striker was left for the final stage of the game.

Strictly in the 79th minute, Suarez stood on the sidelines, and a minute later, he replaced Mascherano.

Real Madrid is finally starting to attack!

Changing the formation of 442, Hazard on the left, Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez in the middle, and Di Maria on the right, but due to the attack, James Rodriguez's position was pressed forward, so that Real Madrid's formation became 4132 again.

It's a lethal tactic!

In the last ten minutes, Real Madrid has done whatever it takes!

……

After Suarez came on the pitch, Real Madrid began to put pressure on Barcelona like crazy.

Luis Enrique immediately instructed the Barcelona players to keep their formation tight and actively prepare for defensive counter-attacking tactics, but at the same time continued to maintain control of the ball and control the ball at every opportunity.

The battle between the two sides is concentrated near the halfway line, and neither side is willing to give up their defensive zone easily.

Real Madrid have made two substitutions, but Barcelona have only made one.

It was clear that Luis Enrique was happy with the way the game went and had no intention of changing the situation.

Barring any surprises, the last two substitutions should have been in stoppage time to burn time.

Real Madrid began to launch a counterattack, pressing in front of the field, pressing in the midfield, especially the pressing of the three midfielders of Barcelona, which made the pace of the game very fast, and the smell of gunpowder on both sides of the field became stronger and stronger.

In the 85th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo fell to the ground in a scramble, lying on the ground and refusing to get up, Ramos was angry and tried to pull him up from the ground, but was pushed away by Neymar who rushed quickly.

The Real Madrid captain was also angry, rushed over and pushed Neymar away, pointing at Cristiano Ronaldo for a burst of anger, thinking that the Portuguese was deliberately delaying time.

The referee could only reassure the players on both sides and said that he would give stoppage time appropriately, but because Cristiano Ronaldo looked really miserable, he had to let the team doctor in.

The Real Madrid players are anxious, but the Barcelona players are deliberately trying to waste time.

No way, now Real Madrid's opponent is not only Barcelona, but also this damn time.

Finally, after Cristiano Ronaldo got back on his feet, Real Madrid immediately kicked off for the game.

But time is running out.

The Barcelona fans in the stands are already ready to celebrate.

They sang the Barcelona team song in unison, waved the Barcelona team flag happily, and even began to have fans who couldn't help but throw their own celebratory confetti that they had prepared for a long time.

In a few minutes, the title will belong to Barcelona!

It's a Champions League title, but more importantly, it's a title that Barcelona snatched from Real Madrid!

This is a championship in which Barcelona completely shattered Real Madrid's dream of defending the treble!

All of them are ready.

As soon as the end whistle blows, they begin their celebration in the stands.

In the 88th minute, after Real Madrid's midfielder successfully broke the ball, Di Maria on the right side launched an attack with the ball.

But at this time, Barcelona's defense had retreated into the penalty area in time, and all the Barcelona players were also on standby.

They held on to the 2-1 score until the whistle blew.
