Barcelona, who had established themselves, gradually took control of the tempo on the pitch.

QPR has been sticking to a "self-oriented" strategy for the past two seasons, and Simeone has also put a lot of emphasis on controlling the tempo.

But in front of rhythm master Barcelona, QPR is still a little immature.

Simeone had been standing on the sidelines, nervously watching the game, not knowing what to do.

In the 9th minute of the game, Messi took the ball on the right side of the penalty area and cut inside, and suddenly sent a straight stopper, Xavi received the ball near the penalty spot and shot directly, slightly off.

Simeone was nervous when he saw Messi break through with the ball, but fortunately the ball didn't go in the end.

He finally understood the feelings of his former opponents. Presumably, every time Ricardo gets the ball, the opposing managers feel the same way.

Such a player is really the darling of heaven, and every second can make unexpected moves to change the situation on the field.

1 minute later, Messi and Iniesta collided with the wall, Messi received Iniesta's return pass and stuffed the ball into the penalty area, Villa outflanked in front of the small penalty area, slightly slower by half a beat, and did not hit the ball.

There was a suppressed exclamation at Loftus Road.

Messi's threat is just too great.

QPR is not without its ability to fight back.

In the 13th minute, Neymar took a corner kick and Alderweireld headed it into the net and almost broke the net.

Two minutes later, Ricardo took a free-kick into the box, and Ronaldo nodded it in and missed the target.

A minute later, Ricardo burst forward on the left flank, cut inside and then flicked the ball back to just outside the box line, where Pogba met it with a furious shot that Valdés struggled to save.

Barcelona then set up an attack and Andres Iniesta fired a shot from the left side of the box just wide of the far corner.

The pace on the field is getting faster and faster, and the transition between attack and defense is dizzying.

And in such a fast-paced game, Barcelona almost did not make mistakes, which is the most terrifying. Their possession of the ball has reached the heights of a work of art.

Simeone looked at everything on the field solemnly.

The feeling of watching the video is different from the experience in the field.

It is only on the spot that you can feel the pressure brought by Barcelona, the pressure of every inch of space on the pitch being squeezed by the opponent, the pressure that even feels difficult to breathe.

It's hard to imagine that QPR hasn't conceded a goal so far, and it's still playing well.

(We are strong). The thought came to Simone's mind.

It's even stronger than I thought it would be.

can deal with such a powerful Barcelona, only slightly at a disadvantage!

We are already one of the top teams in Europe!

Last season's victory was not a fluke, and it was no luck that we are currently in second place this season!

Simeone was trying to figure it out, and QPR launched a quick attack. Nainggran turned the ball down the left and Ricardo took the ball and cut inside quickly and drilled into the box at a rapid pace.

Unable to, Pique tripped Ricardo in front of the penalty line.

"Pique has fouled! QPR won a free-kick in a very good position, which was a little to the left of the penalty area, which was exactly the position that Ricardo liked very much! Barcelona is in big trouble! ”

Ricardo and Ronaldo stood together in front of the ball, and the two discussed, waiting for Barcelona to set up a human wall.

Under Valdés' command, the Barcelona players grindingly set up a human wall.

Although there were two people standing in front of the ball, everyone knew that it must be Ricardo who took the penalty.

The referee blows the whistle.

Ronaldo started to run, and then he stepped over the ball. Ricardo also started to run.

Sure enough, it was Licardo who took the penalty!

However, Ronaldo suddenly accelerated and ran to the wall, and Ricardo ran to the ball and pushed it forward.

Ronaldo half turned, did not stop the ball, and directly volleyed!

Valdés scrambled to save but it was useless, Ronaldo's shot was powerful and went straight to the corner!

"Ronaldo Goalllllllll! Hero Ronaldo! This is an important goal that will be worth a lot of money, and it will be easier to play after QPR! ”

"Brother, thank you for the assist, the route is very good, the strength is just right." Ronaldo runs to Ricardo.

'Congratulations, Dadardo, it's your 55th Champions League goal.'

"Are you scolding me?" Ronaldo said with a smile, "The all-time top scorer in the Champions League, the current champion who has scored a total of 97 goals in 8 seasons? ”

Ricardo smiled and didn't speak.

After a short celebration, the game continued.

The mentality of the Barcelona players does not seem to be affected in the slightest, and they are still playing their football in an orderly manner.

It seems that no matter what the score, they can't shake their football philosophy.

And Simeone didn't let the team shrink either, and QPR continued to execute high pressing.

"No, why doesn't QPR play a defensive counterattack?" The commentator was puzzled, "Continue to play against Barcelona, QPR is waiting to concede the goal." I think there's something wrong with Simeone's train of thought. ”

Ricardo also admitted.

If you want to win, if you want to advance, it's time for the team to shrink their defense and fight back.

But Simeone is not just looking at this season, but for many seasons to come.

The team must have the courage to play against the best team in the world!

Even if it costs not qualifying this season, it's worth it!

Although Ricardo disagreed, he supported Simeone's idea.

In the 23rd minute, Messi broke free and sent a clever pass, Iniesta shot from the edge of the box, Handanovic saved the ball.

In the 26th minute, QPR fast attack, Licardo suddenly shifted the ball to the right side, Neymar broke through and sent a cross, Ronaldo stabbed with his toes, and the football narrowly grazed the post and rolled out of the bottom line.

Soon, Messi appeared to have suffered a bit of an injury under Sandro's defense, and his knee was oozing blood.

The England commentator praised Sandro's performance: "The youngster is getting more and more mature, he has become a regular regular for QPR this season, and he has been quite skilful with Licardo, becoming an important attacking point for the team, and his defensive ability is second to none. In today's game, he managed to defend Messi, which will be a huge help in his confidence-building. ”

Messi went to the sidelines for treatment, and Barcelona slowed down their attack and began to slowly control the ball in central midfield.

After the QPR pressed for a few minutes, the formation shrank a little at Simeone's behest so as not to drain the midfielders too much.

Barcelona were also in no hurry to attack, and the two sides entered a period of relative calm.

But 35 minutes into the game, Barcelona suddenly picked up speed again.

In the 37th minute, Andres Iniesta cleverly split the ball and Sanchez cut inside on the left and fired a shot that was blocked by a defender.

In the 38th minute, Alves inserted an assist and suddenly sent a delicate through stopper, Messi broke into the penalty area in an offside position to get the ball. Sandro is reduced to a backdrop at this moment.

Facing the last defender and goalkeeper, Messi was very calm, pulling the ball past Alderweireld and then firing a left-footed shot from a tight angle into the far corner.

Handanovic couldn't make a save and could only watch the ball go into the net.

“Goallllll！ Messi equalized for Barcelona! It was his 57th goal of the season and his 59th Champions League goal. His performance was insane! ”
