The day after the league, Barcelona ushered in the Copa del Rey schedule.

In this game, Xiao Luo and Zhuo Cunzhi did not play, and Eto'o only played half the game.

For Barcelona, who have been plagued by injuries, it is really good to be able to reduce the schedule a little.

What's more, the Copa del Rey is a shame for La Liga.

In terms of gold content, it is far inferior to the Premier League's Football Cup or even the League Cup.

It was also because of this lack of attention that Rijkaard directly lined up for most of the youth team, and even goalkeeper Valdés was replaced and rested.

0:1, this is the final score of this game.

Barcelona was eliminated.

In this regard, the Barcelona players were not disappointed, but breathed a sigh of relief.

I have to say that there was a shortage of major generals, but I still had to face two games in a week, and that feeling was really fatal!

Without waiting for the Barcelona players to rest much, the second showdown with Milan arrived!

This time the match was played at Barcelona's home stadium.

What everyone didn't expect was that in the 7th minute of the game, Kaka, who had a good and bad performance in the last game, actually drove straight into the ball with the ball and scored the first goal!

During this period, the defensive axis of Deco, Puyol, and Valdés was completely crushed by the Brazilians, and it also gave the Barcelona people a head-on blow!

However, this is the Camp Nou after all, the home of the Barças!

In the 9th minute, the Barcelona players returned the color.

Ronaldo drove straight with the ball, and the oxtail burst into the threat area with a strong pass of Cafu, and a long-range shot was saved by Dida.

Barcelona's corner kicks, the right to serve is Xiao Luo's, and in the case of Zhuo Cunzhi's not fighting, the right to handle these balls is Xiao Luo's.

Ronaldo is known for his terrifying footwork, but his footwork was no slouch either, with a corner finding Puyol, who struck the ground with a header from Stam and Nesta.

1:1！

Barcelona equalised!

Speaking of which, you may not believe it, Nesta, Stam and even Maldini are all above 1.85 meters tall, but their aerial dominance is not strong, and they are often broken by headers, which is also very weird.

On the other hand, Puyol, because there are not many 1.8 meters in the Barcelona team, many times he is needed as a low-level central defender to compete for the top.

Fortunately, his jumping ability is strong, his anticipation ability is excellent, and his mental attributes are high, but his header level is not bad.

In our world, it was Puyol's header in the semi-finals of the 10-year World Cup that helped Spain beat Germany 1-0, reaching the final for the first time in history, and finally winning the championship.

It can be said that the importance of that goal is even less than that of Andres Iniesta's winning goal in the final.

After the equaliser, both Milan and Barcelona were in a stalemate.

Milan have a slight upper hand as they are a more mature team.

But Barça's players are also very resilient, as the average age of Barça players is younger and more aggressive.

Ronaldinho, in particular, also rarely showed all his strength, and even took the initiative to abstain, and he didn't go to the nightlife for the past two days!

The reason is that the selection of the Golden Globe Awards is coming soon.

Milan's Shevchenko and Barcelona's Ronaldo are both favorites for this Ballon d'Or.

It should be said that Deco, who led the team to win the Champions League and the European Cup runner-up last season, has better results than both of them.

But the problem is that Deco's style of play is relatively simple, and it is more like a player who suddenly appeared, unlike Shevchenko, who has stood at the top of Europe for many years, and has been concerned about football elves for a long time, Deco is still a "newcomer".

The selection of the Golden Globe Award also depends on qualifications.

Obviously, Adecco qualifications are not enough.

Therefore, it can be said that the matchup between these two Champions League group stage games is a good footnote for which of the two can win the Ballon d'Or.

Even with Xiao Luo's mentality, he can't help but be much more serious, let alone Shevchenko's.

But it was precisely because they thought that both of them cared more, so the team's attack came to a stalemate.

If you're facing a weaker opponent and the whole team is contributing to one person, it's easy to brush up on good stats.

But Milan and Barcelona are both top teams and there is not much difference between them.

While both sides had ideas to help their own core, neither was able to create enough good opportunities.

On the contrary, both teams have been slightly hampered in attack because of this mentality.

It was Ancelotti who reacted faster.

One is that he is a manager and sees more clearly from the sidelines, and secondly he has more experience and realizes the problem faster than Rijkaard.

"Andrey, pass!"

Shevchenko heard this voice on the field and sighed in his heart, but passed the ball without hesitation.

He was not a very unique player, that is, he lost his normal heart in front of the Ballon d'Or.

After Shevchenko's initiative, Milan's players also returned to their usual style of play.

Suddenly, Milan's threat has risen to a higher level.

"Okay, okay, kick seriously!" Xiao Luo keenly noticed this, and then changed his attitude.

In the final analysis, he is a very open-minded person, and he has an obsession with the Golden Globe, but he is far less deep than Shevchenko.

Therefore, after Milan's transformation, he was able to quickly pack up his mentality and change his attacking style.

Two people change at the same time, and in a sense, there is no difference between two people who don't change.

Once again, the match between the two sides was deadlocked.

The most important thing to deal with in this situation is the creativity of the players, or the spirituality.

A lot of times, a single player's flash of inspiration can change the situation.

On the pitch, a one-goal lead is enough to change a lot.

Milan have talented players, so they were able to do well in the Champions League.

Juventus is different, their players are both in the front and back, and in a sense they can be regarded as both offensive and defensive.

An iron man like Nedved who can't run to death is a representative and symbol of the spirit of Juventus.

But it is precisely because of this rigid style that Juventus always make it bloodless when facing tough battles, and are always beaten by more talented players.

This can be seen from the fact that Juventus has reached the final seven times, but only won two titles.

In our world, Juventus have reached the Champions League final twice in the following ten years, both of which failed.

It can be said that it is a team with strong hard power, but very little fluctuation up and down.

Unless they crush all of Europe, it will be difficult to win the Champions League.

To solve this problem, they will need either a player like Zinedine Zidane at the pinnacle, who is very creative and spiritual, or a player like Mandzukic who can be relied on in key moments.

Of course, that's all for later, so let's not mention it for the time being.

For the remainder of the first half, both teams were in a stalemate, and in the end, the two sides went to halftime with a score of 1:1.

At a time when fans thought the two sides would be tied again.

In the 47th minute of the second half, Pirlo made a 50-meter long pass directly to Barcelona's threat zone and hit behind the Barcelona defense.

Shevchenko started quickly to answer, and behind him, Oleg directly hugged him with both hands!

Shevchenko, however, was very steady, did not fall to the ground by Olegra, and showed great physical fitness.

He then broke away from the defence and received the ball 11 metres in front of goal and fired a volley past Valdés.

2:1！

Barcelona is behind again at home!
