Chapter 212: Cushion Race

For Atletico Madrid, the Spanish Super Cup is the first official match before the start of the new season and the first honour to compete for.

But their opponents, Barcelona, have an important game ahead of the Spanish Super Cup.

That's the UEFA Super Cup.

This is the first title Barcelona can compete for this season. The opponent is Sevilla, who won the Europa League last season.

Barcelona are determined to use the Spanish Super Cup to get the season off to a flying start.

However, at this time, Barcelona fans hate Atletico Madrid even more.

Because if Atletico Madrid hadn't snatched their league title last season, they would have been able to challenge for a six-time crown this year, just like Pep Guardiola did back then.

As a result, the only team in the world to achieve the achievement of six crowns twice will be Barcelona.

But now, it is not known how long that goal will be postponed.

So when I think of this, many Barcelona fans hate Atletico Madrid so much, and feel that Atletico Madrid and Gao Zheng have ruined their good deeds.

For this reason, they have already started to look forward to the next Spanish Super Cup, and they hope that Barcelona can get revenge on Atletico Madrid in these two Super Cup games, although it will not help them regain the league title they have lost, but at least it can breathe a bad breath.

Of course, first they have to win the UEFA Super Cup.

They are the second-most winning team in the history of the UEFA Super Cup, with a total of four. If they can beat Sevilla this year, they will equal AC Milan's record of five titles.

But Sevilla FC should not be underestimated, because Barcelona's biggest defeat in the UEFA Super Cup came from this opponent Sevilla - it was the 2006 UEFA Super Cup, just won the Champions League, and the Dream II team with Ronaldinho, Deco, Xavi, Eto'o and other famous players lost to the UEFA Cup champion Sevilla with a score of 0:3 in the UEFA Super Cup.

If Barcelona underestimate this team, then they will pay a heavy price.

Therefore, Barcelona coach Enrique also looked very serious before the game, and did not think that Barcelona should win the UEFA Super Cup.

Sure enough, just over two minutes into the game, Sevilla took advantage of a free-kick opportunity and Banega scored the ball directly into Barcelona's goal. Sevilla took a one-goal lead.

But then Barcelona quickly found their rhythm.

In the seventh and sixteenth minutes, Messi scored twice with direct free kicks to help Barcelona overtake the score.

Then, before the end of the first half, Raphinha received an assist from Suarez to extend the score to 3:1.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Suarez also scored as Barcelona made it 4-1 and it looked like Sevilla were completely out of play.

But Sevilla's Jedi counterattack began at this time, and in the 57th minute, Reyes scored with a flanking cushion from the front and back of the goal, 4:2.

In the 72nd minute, Mathieu pulled down a Sevilla player in the penalty area and was blown a penalty by the referee, and Sevilla made the score 4-3 with this penalty.

In the 81st minute, Sevilla player Konoprianca grabbed the point at the back point and equalized the score for Sevilla!

The game was dragged into extra time.

It wasn't until the 115th minute that Barcelona were helped Barcelona win the game with a hard-fought chance by substitute Pedro.

The score of 5:4 made people who had not watched the game think that this was a championship decided by penalty shootout.

But no matter what, it's enough to win the championship.

Barcelona won their third title of the year, joining AC Milan as the team with the most wins in the history of the UEFA Super Cup.

Next up for them is the Spanish Super Cup.

Even if the "six crowns" are doomed, they still want to win the "five crowns".

Messi's outstanding performance in the Spanish Super Cup also made him the headline of European sports media again.

He scored a brace with two free-kicks in this game, and the media and the Internet were full of praise for him.

After winning the Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup, everyone thought that this year's World Footballer of the Year Golden Ball Award should be him.

Although there is still half a season left, I am afraid that there will be no more suspense about this matter.

"Messi is already super-god!"

"He took a free-kick as a penalty!"

“…… Although Barcelona has encountered some difficulties in the Super Cup, it doesn't matter, with Messi here, all the difficulties will become the best foil for the radiant performance of the plum ball king! ”

"The media is really excessive, blowing without a bottom line and discipline. But Messi's state is really good......" Xiao Yingying sighed. "I don't know if there will be pressure on the handsome guy when he encounters Messi in this state......"

"Thinking about it too much, he is happy about it in his heart." Feng Shiyu replied.

Xiao Yingying looked up at Feng Shiyu, then nodded and said, "You're right, the handsome guy is an M." ”

Feng Shiyu raised her hand and patted Xiao Yingying: "What! ”

"Someone who can think of challenging the two superstars of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo at the same time, what is not masochism? Everyone else wants to avoid these two people, but it's good that he doesn't have the opportunity to create opportunities. I now understand why he had to go to Atletico Madrid in the first place. Xiao Yingying said.

It was only after Atletico Madrid successfully defended her title that she heard about Gao Zheng's ambition from Feng Shiyu, and her eyes widened at that time and she couldn't speak for a long time.

I didn't expect the handsome guy I admired to be such a strong man, and he had to pick two at the same time.

However, she thought of Gao Zheng's performances against Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi in her first La Liga season, and felt that Gao Zheng's ambition should not be an incredible goal......

This made her look forward to the Spanish Super Cup even more.

Because CCTV did not obtain the broadcast rights of the Spanish Super Cup, it may be difficult to see the live broadcast of this game on TV at that time. However, nowadays various video websites are novel, and the last thing these Internet companies lack is money.

Spending a lot of money on two Spanish Super Cups alone is nothing to them.

With Gao Zheng's influence, it is estimated that in the link of advertising, the video website that bought the copyright will be able to return to its original cost......
