Before the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Juventus, Villarreal still has a match to play in the 36th round of La Liga.

Because Sevilla drew 1-1 with Real Sociedad in the first game of this round, five points behind Villarreal, who have played a game less, so as long as they win the next opponent than them, then they can lock up the top four in the league in advance and qualify for next season's Champions League.

However, their opponent in this round is Barcelona!

Put together?

Or give up?

If you choose to fight, the opponent is Barcelona at home, which team dares to say that it can beat Messi's team at Camp Nou?

And, what about the Champions League semi-finals in 3 days' time? Ignored it?

If they choose to give up, it seems acceptable, after all, they are ahead of Sevilla by more than enough points, and even if Atletico Madrid has beaten Eibar 1-0 in this round, as long as Villarreal does not lose more than three goals to Barcelona, they can still occupy third place in the table with a goal difference.

And, although it is extremely difficult to turn the tables in the semi-finals of the Champions League, at least it can't be so bad.

As a result, Escriva quickly made the decision to leave most of his main players out of the starting line-up for the game against Barcelona, leaving only goalkeeper Hernandez and Dai Zhiwei.

The reason for not rotating the goalkeeper is that Villarreal's No. 1 goalkeeper Asenjo has not yet returned from injury, and it is the latter's request to let Dai Zhiwei continue to start.

With only 3 rounds left in the league and the same number of goals as Messi, Dai Zhiwei doesn't want to miss the final league Golden Boot because of his absence.

Therefore, Dai Zhiwei's goal in this game is to score goals, and as for whether the team wins or not, he completely forgot about it for the first time.

Alone, this is the characteristic of Dai Zhiwei in this game, as long as he gets the ball in the front court, he definitely has to do it alone, and the whole game has as many as 13 shots on goal has also set a record for the number of shots he has shot in a single game!

Barcelona took control of the game after the opening, and the Yellow Submarines, who were almost all substitutes, were willing to shrink their defense.

Shortly after the break, Joe Ingres was booked for a handball foul on the edge of the box, but Messi's direct free-kick lacked threat and Fernandez easily confiscated it.

Barcelona took an early lead in the 21st minute, Suarez burst into the right side of the penalty area to pass, Messi's shot from the left side of the penalty area hit A-Gonzalez deflected, and Neymar stabbed into the net from close range, 1:0!

Barcelona almost doubled the score in the 29th minute, Rakitic passed, Messi broke through to the top left corner of the small penalty area and shot diagonally, the ball slid past the goal.

Dai Zhiwei's volley finally came to fruition in the 32nd minute to equalise for Villarreal.

Roberto Soriano made a direct pass, Dai Zhiwei shook off his old enemy Pique and broke through to the right side of the penalty area 10 yards out and shot into the near corner, 1:1.

After scoring the goal, Dai Zhiwei finally put his mind at ease, anyway, he now has more league goals than Messi, and Messi's state today is not like being able to score a hat trick, he can relax and prepare for the second leg of the Champions League semifinals with Juventus.

Barcelona missed a chance in the 39th minute when Messi crossed from the right edge of the box, but the unmarked Pique headed wide from close range.

Villarreal returned a minute later when Soriano crossed from the left and the unguarded Roberto Soriano headed wide from the edge of the six-yard box when Dai Zhiwei was locked up by Pique and Mascherano.

Suarez then passed the ball and Neymar fired a low shot into the far corner from 10 yards out on the left side of the box.

Barcelona went ahead again in first-half stoppage time, when Sergio Busquets passed the ball and Messi broke through to 20 yards and fired a powerful shot into the bottom right corner of A-Gonzalez and deflected into the bottom right corner, 2-1.

It was Messi's 50th goal of the season and his 34th in the league – the same number of goals as Dai Zhiwei.

After Messi scored, the referee blew the whistle directly at the end of the first half.

"Leo, yes, I still can't get rid of you!" When walking towards the players' tunnel, Dai Zhiwei smiled bitterly and greeted Messi.

"Haha, let's do it together!" Messi also feels a little fresh about the competition for the league golden boot this season - in the past few seasons, except for last year, which was "let" to Suarez, the rest has always been a competition between him and Ronaldo, and the sudden emergence of a Dai Zhiwei in the cold made him a little excited.

As soon as the second half began, Barcelona launched a furious attack, Neymar stepped on a bicycle and burst into the left side of the penalty area to cross Messi, but Fernandez made a key interception with his leg in front of him, blocking Messi's footsteps to overtake Dai Zhiwei.

Then, it was replaced by Alves's pass, and Digne's shot from a tight angle on the left side of the box slid out of the goal.

Five minutes later, it was Neymar's pass again and Messi's volley from the edge of the box was saved by Fernandes again.

Fernandez's continuous saves were successful, so that Dai Zhiwei did not live in the front court to applaud him!

It's a pity that goalkeepers are finally not omnipotent.

Barcelona extended the score in the 69th minute, Sergi Roberto passed, Suarez turned to get rid of Joe Ingres and fired a powerful shot from outside the top right corner of the small penalty area and was saved and went into the net, 3:1.

It was Suarez's 27th goal of the season, second only to the joint Dai Zhiwei and Lionel Messi in the league scorers' list.

However, his hopes of defending the La Liga Golden Boot are very slim.

Soon, Dai Zhiwei successfully dominated the scorer list again.

In the 77th minute, Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen made a mistake and failed to intercept the attack, Dai Zhiwei dodged the sliding tackle after getting the ball, and easily scored another goal in the face of the empty goal, completing a brace and leading Messi by one goal again.

3:2！

Dai Zhiwei, who was happy after the goal, was replaced by Escliva with Rafael, retaining his energy to prepare for Wednesday's Champions League semi-final.

As for how the team scored the equalizer after replacing Dai Zhiwei, Dai Zhiwei and Escriva have no illusions.

Unexpectedly, less than 5 minutes after Dai Zhiwei came off the field, Neymar turned and crossed on the left side of the penalty area, and Suarez's 10-yard volley was subconsciously blocked by Alfred Ndiaye with his hand, and the referee immediately awarded a penalty.

After seeing the penalty award, Dai Zhiwei also shook his head helplessly, because he had already judged that at this juncture, 100% of Barcelona's penalty was Messi.

Although Messi's penalty shooting rate is inferior to Dai Zhiwei and Ronaldo, after all, he is also the king of the world, and a spoon penalty without the slightest fireworks locked the score of this game at 4:2!

After this battle, Messi and Dai Zhiwei both scored 35 goals in the league this season, and with only the last two rounds of the league left, the suspense of the La Liga Golden Boot continues.

……

On 8 May, the Villarreal team arrived in Turin two days early, showing how seriously they took the game.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Escriva said: "It's a challenge for us to come, we didn't get a good result at the Love Song Stadium and now we have 90 minutes left to turn things around. We will try it with all our might. ”

Dai Zhiwei on the side also affirmed: "Juventus is a strong opponent, but in the 90-minute game, any situation on the field can occur, we will definitely score away from home and try to compete!" Go for it! We will not give up any possibility of advancing to the finals! ”

At the end of the season, due to injuries and other reasons, almost all teams played their cards, so in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Eskriva and Allegri basically used the starting line-up of the first leg.

For Juventus, only Khedira, who returned from injury, replaced Marchisio. Villarreal, on the other hand, replaced Trigueros with Rodrygo to strengthen the team's attack.

Juventus starting line-up:

Goalkeeper: Gianluigi Buffon

Defenders: Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini

Midfielders: Khedira, Pjanic, Sandro, Alves

Forwards: Dybala, Mandzukic, Higuain

Villarreal starting line-up:

Goalkeeper: Fernandes

Defenders: Gaspar, Musacchio, Rukavina, Costa

Midfielders: dos Santos, Bruno, Rodrygo, Castillejo

Forwards: Bakambu, Dai Zhiwei

When Bakambu dialed the football to Dai Zhiwei, this Villarreal vs Juventus Champions League semi-final home match officially kicked off!

After a couple of back-to-backs, Castillejo and Bruno played a one-two, Bruno passed straight in front of the box on the right, Castillejo used his body advantage to shake off Dybala's defense and go straight into the box.

After he waded past Pjanic, who was on the fence, he flashed a gap and passed straight to the middle, but unfortunately he was caught by Buffon, who was standing in the front, and although Dai Zhiwei threw off Bonucci, who was watching, it was to no avail.

Bonucci passed the ball to Alves, he looked at the situation in the box, glanced at it, quickly dribbled straight down and passed diagonally, and the ball quickly spun around Villarreal's small penalty area.

Musacchio held Pjanic at the back post to prevent him from jumping, and he jumped up to try to push the falling ball out.

"Oops!"

Musacchio felt a black and white figure appear in front of him, already rushing from the side, he wanted to take the lead, but Pjanic behind him was stubbornly pressed against his waist, and it was difficult to exert force.

A tall figure had already crossed Musacchio and was in the middle of the ball, which instantly changed direction and flew towards Fernandez's right side, straight into the corner.

Rukavina were a little out of shape at the start of the game, and this time they failed to protect Musacchio, but Khedira snatched the ball from behind and completed a goal.

"Shot, Khedira's header, oh damn crossbar!" The Italian commentator saw Khedira's powerful header hit the crossbar and bounced off the line.

Villarreal narrowly escaped and the players quickly increased their concentration, with Dos Santos and Bruno quick to pay attention to their handling of the ball.

Bakambu took advantage of his body, shook off Chiellini, quickly cut inside, and had already killed in the penalty area, Bonucci hurriedly pulled the side towards Bakambu, and Pjanic also approached Bakambu at this time.

Bakambu didn't expect his in-cut to attract the attention of the three players, and knew that he couldn't break through the defense of the three players, so he knocked the ball to the feet of Dai Zhiwei, who was inserted.

At this time, Dai Zhiwei was already in the middle of the road with no one to defend, he started quickly, shook off Sandro who was pulling behind, quickly burst into the penalty area, and forcibly shook off the blocked Pjanic, and there was a vacancy.

It's a space where you can shoot with your feet!

Dai Zhiwei glanced at Buffon's position, did not stop the ball during the march, slammed his left foot into the upper part of the ball, shot low, and flew directly to the right side of the goal against the ground.

Buffon's body was blocked by Bonucci who was returning to the defense at this time, but he didn't expect Dai Zhiwei to shoot as soon as he entered the big penalty area, and quickly fell to the ground.

Although Dai Zhiwei's football flew close to the ground, it was extremely fast, and at the moment Buffon fell to the ground, the ball had already passed through everyone, and also through Buffon's ten fingers.

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal？ Oh no! Oh my God, Dai Zhiwei's shot flew out against the door frame, I thought this ball would go in, but unfortunately if it was a little closer, it would have been. The commentator of the Spanish TV station first saw the high-speed flying ball pass through Buffon's ten fingers, and soon stirred up a white wave, thinking that the ball had already scored, and excitedly shouted "Goal!" ”

It's a pity that he then saw Dai Zhiwei shaking his head and didn't celebrate, only to realize that the ball had passed the goal.

Escriva and Allegri also thought that Dai Zhiwei had scored the goal, so their expressions changed dramatically in just a dozen seconds.

Soon after the restart, both sides were mindful of their defence, knowing that whoever made a mistake first would be scored first and the situation would be in trouble.

The scramble in midfield was the focus of the game, with Dos Santos increasing his pace and quickly getting the ball down the left side of Rodrigo.

After Rodrygo held up his chest to receive the ball, he increased his speed for a moment, saw Sandro rushing over, flicked the ball outside, and then passed through his body, wading past Sandro alive, opening a gap on the left side, and Gaspar on the side also followed.

However, Rodrygo was quickly blocked by Barzagli, who stopped his forward body alive, and then quickly pulled the ball back and stepped on the ball, not allowing Barzagli any chance to touch the ball.

Immediately afterwards, Rodrygo took advantage of the momentum, the ball passed under Barzagli's crotch, and once again rolled towards Juventus' left, and a yellow figure galloped past and quickly received the ball.

After receiving Rodrygo's pass, Gaspar ignored Pjanic, who was rushing from the side, and quickly cut into the Juventus penalty area.

Glancing at the situation in the penalty area, Gaspar saw Bakambu and Dai Zhiwei start to run, and without the slightest hesitation, he directly crossed the high ball.

Bakambu saw Gaspar's incoming ball, shook off Bonucci, jumped high, pushed the ball on top of it, and threw it hard to the right side of the goal.

Dai Zhiwei there is shooting horses!
