Falling behind, Barcelona rose to the occasion and tried to equalise as soon as possible. In the 53rd minute, Busquets passed, and Messi's left-footed cold shot from 18 meters away from the goal on the right side was blocked by Cesar. In the 55th minute, Pedro took a corner kick from the left, and Busquets' header from 4 meters in front of the goal was bravely defused by Cesar!

This is also Barcelona's last resistance, their physical problems have been exposed obviously, Li Chengfeng chose to make a substitution, replacing Klose with Robben, pushing Eto'o to the front, increasing the impact of the front, so that the tired Barcelona can not relax.

In the 61st minute, Inter Milan extended their advantage, Mascherano successfully passed in front of the counter-attack, Robben rubbed the right side of the penalty area to the back point, Sneijder pushed the ball to the right side, and Eto'o, who followed up in time, headed into the goal from 2 meters in front of the goal, 3-1!!

Guardiola conceded defeat, although he was not reconciled, but the team's physical crisis made him unable to counterattack if he wanted to, so he could only find a way not to concede goals again and leave some opportunities for the next leg. He replaced Ibrahimovic with Abidal to increase the number of defensive players, and the team's formation was also recycled to the vicinity of the penalty area, and Barcelona rarely gave up attacking and began to defend with all their might.

Facing Barcelona with all their might, Ribery and others lost the space to break through, and the threat was reduced a lot, and Lee Seung-peak replaced Milito and Modric one after another, trying to continue to strive for goals, but failed to do so. In the end, Inter Milan defeated Barcelona 3-1 at home, laying a solid foundation for advancing to the Champions League final. In addition, Barcelona defender Puyol received another yellow card for this game and will be suspended for the second leg, which is another good news.

Although the Barcelona people were not convinced after the game, they found all kinds of reasons to justify their defeat, such as referee problems, such as physical problems, such as away problems, but not their own problems anyway. They are looking to turn the tables at home, the difference between two goals is not a pang, last year's six crowns gave them confidence, and they have a dominant record in four games against Inter Milan in the past two seasons, with two wins, one draw and one defeat. "We are confident of qualifying", is the voice of all Catalonia.

Li Chengfeng didn't say much, it's better to say it well than to do it well, he prefers to fall into the well after eliminating Barcelona. The two-goal lead in the round gave him the confidence to make targeted arrangements, while Barcelona had no choice but to attack. Li Chengfeng carefully studied the video of Bayern beating Barcelona into a sieve and knocking them out of the competition. Especially in the second leg of the game between the two teams, Barcelona fell behind in the second round, and the second leg of the attack was defeated by Bayern's wings, how similar is the situation of the two teams now, especially now Inter Milan's two wings of Ribery and Robben, which was the invincible wing combination of Bayern at that time.

Inter Milan, who are back in the league, flew to Barcelona for the second leg of the knockout round after a comfortable 3-1 home win over relegated Atalanta side. I have to say that Inter Milan has had a good season this season, and the route that was suspended due to Icelandic volcanic ash returned to normal a few days ago, and Inter Milan avoided the same fatigue as Barcelona before and was able to challenge Barcelona in a better state.

Barcelona had to attack in this game, and Lee Seung-bong chose to defend and counterattack, focusing on Ribery and Robben on both flanks. Luka Modric, who is good at running up front, and Eto'o, who is determined to be revenge, actively interfered with Barcelona's ball at the back, forcing them to compress more closely and give Inter Milan enough space to counter-attack.

At the beginning of the game, Barcelona methodically tried to tear apart Inter Milan's defense with constant passing, but Inter Milan's players followed Li Chengfeng's pre-game arrangement, stubbornly guarding the front of the big penalty area, allowing Barcelona to fall in the outer circle, but as long as they tried to enter the danger area, they were forcefully blocked.

The Barcelona were uncomfortable, and with the active interference of Luka Modric and Samuel Eto'o, they had to choose Xavi to drop back or risk being beaten back to push the formation down if they wanted to be successful. The 3-1 defeat left Barcelona with no way out, and they had to choose the second option.

Barcelona went back and forth, but could not create any threat, they chose to take the risk, trying to use Messi's breakthrough ability to tear apart the Inter Milan defense, but when Messi received the ball, there were 3 people in front of him to block the line he broke through, and Modric and others behind him also surrounded, and 5 people surrounded him in the middle, making it difficult for him to even find the line of passing. Messi tried to barely break through, but was tackled by Mascherano.

Mascherano got the ball out of the way and distributed it to the wing, which was Barcelona's weakness. Robben on the right side took the ball to dodge Milito's defense, and in the face of Valdés, he curled the ball into the far corner with his left foot from 11 meters in front of the goal, 1-o!

Barcelona are in danger and they will need to score at least three goals to keep their hopes alive, but they can't do anything with Inter's defence. Pep Guardiola put too much emphasis on possession and they have lost other means. Barcelona had 65 per cent possession in the first half, but only two chances actually entered the box under Inter's pressing and defending. As for set-pieces, with the short height of Barcelona players, facing Inter Milan, who are a head taller on average, it is really difficult for them to open the gap through set-pieces. This is also something that can't be helped, if you want to pursue ball control, the player's body can't be too tall, the ball control skills of tall players are not very good, even if it is considered to be the technical flow of Ibrahimovic, his so-called good technique is also relative to his height, compared to Xavi's little white Messi and the like, the gap is actually a bit big, and his header is not good. Inter, on the other hand, used their physical advantage to create frequent threats.

In the 72nd minute, Toure made a steal and split the ball to the left side, Ribery quickly dribbled to the left side of the penalty area and crossed, and the follow-up Eto'o headed the ball into the net from a small angle on the edge of the back post, 2:o!!

The big picture has been decided, and Barcelona need to score five goals in the remaining 2o minutes to advance, even if Messi is possessed. Li Chengfeng was so excited that he rushed out of the bench and rushed into the court with a slippery knee. Barcelona fans looked at Li Chengfeng, who was on his knees in the field, clenched his hands into fists, and roared in the sky, and suddenly quieted down, and they also knew that Barcelona had no way to return to the sky.

Li Chengfeng ended the celebration, stood up and walked out of the stadium, he bent down and patted the grass clippings on his pants, feeling very refreshing, to be able to make the 100,000-person Camp Nou Stadium quiet, Li Chengfeng felt that it was enough to make himself proud.

After the restart, Barcelona's players also looked a little listless, only a few people, including Messi, are still working hard, trying to score goals to save a dignity, but they can't beat this Inter Milan team alone.

In the final moments, Arjen Robben headed in a corner, Toure nodded the ball and Samuel Eto'o volleyed home to make it 3:o.

A shocking victory, six-time champion Barcelona was blown up 6:1 by Inter Milan in two legs, so that the media who were optimistic about them before the game did not know how to express their feelings.

They thought that Barcelona would be eliminated, but they didn't think that Barcelona would lose so badly, whether it was the score or the field, there was no chance. In terms of technical statistics, Barcelona's only leading position is the possession rate, but they have only a handful of opportunities to break into the Inter Milan penalty area, and there are only 2 times in the whole game with Fabao straight ball.

In response to the reporters' questions, Lee Seung-bong disagreed, "Inter Milan is the strongest, better team won the game, what's so strange about it." ”

A Catalan media reporter stepped up, "Barcelona are six-time champions and beat Inter Milan in the Champions League final last season. ”

Li Chengfeng glanced at him and said disdainfully, "If you watched last season's Champions League final, you know how Barcelona won." If it weren't for the performance of Best Actor Sergio Busquets, Barcelona wouldn't have stood a chance. Before Motta was sent off, it was Inter Milan who were ahead. ”

On the pitch, the winner was right in everything he said, and when European football was shocked by Barcelona's football, Lee Seung-pong pulled them off the altar and told everyone how to deal with Barcelona's pass-and-control football.

It seems that the name of the Universe Team Barcelona is about to disappear before it sounds, and Li Chengfeng is not without emotion, how can there be an unchanged style of play in the world. Li Chengfeng heard that Guardiola was alone for a long time after this game, and he may also be thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of the pass-and-control style of play, I don't know if he will change his coaching philosophy, or go all the way to the end.

However, with Li Chengfeng's understanding of his Guardiola, he believes that the other party will persevere. The two had worked together for a few years, and he knew Pep Guardiola well. Although Guardiola is an easy-going person on the surface, the pride and stubbornness in his bones are difficult to change. He believes that after such an unforgettable defeat, Guardiola will only work harder to improve his coaching philosophy and become stronger. Perhaps in the next few years, Pep Guardiola will be an inevitable opponent in his coaching career, just like Jose Mourinho, another opponent in the Champions League final.

It's good to have such an opponent, otherwise it's really lonely to be alone.
