Chapter 731: The unwilling Messi

If Lin Dong is Barcelona's most feared player in Atletico Madrid, then Courtois is definitely the most hated person in Barcelona's two knockout games.

At present, Atletico Madrid's score, Lin Dong occupies the biggest credit, scoring three goals in two games, but the second contributor to this score is Courtois.

This is also a typical bullying of the weak and afraid of the hard, Barcelona is no exception, Lin Dong's data is too scary, especially for Barcelona, so let them feel fearful, Courtois is different, the goalkeeper can never score like a striker, they can only do to prevent the opponent from scoring.

This is the Calderón Stadium, so the little boos from the Barcelona fans were quickly overshadowed by the cheers of the Atletico fans, but the Atletico fans were not without worries.

Courtois's outstanding performances do not belong to Atletico, and if nothing else, Courtois will return to Chelsea at the end of the season, and Atletico will have to worry about a new goalkeeper.

Of course, that's all for later, but the most important thing now is the game in front of us, to cheer on Atletico's few games left in the season and hopefully get a better result.

Atletico's attack was again fruitless, and Lin Dong's long-range shot from outside the box was full of power, but this time Pinto's save was even more beautiful, flying to block the ball with one hand.

The ensuing corner also belonged to Atletico, but Godin's header was too far off the net due to the interference of the Barcelona defenders and flew off the line.

Barcelona attacked, through passing, Barcelona slowly scored into the Atletico half, but in Barcelona into the Atletico half the offensive immediately accelerated.

Alves cut in from behind, Iniesta, who held the ball, passed the ball decisively, kicked the ball behind him, Felipe reacted a step slowly, Alves crossed from the bottom, and a low ball.

"Messi~~~No~~~ Messi deliberately missed the ball, behind, near the penalty spot, Xavi, the fish jumped to the top ~~~ It's a pity~~ It's a pity, the ball is deflected" Xavi couldn't grasp it, and the header of the Barcelona midfield maestro obviously couldn't be compared with his feet.

Extremely depressed, Barcelona fans stretched their hands into the air, just waiting for the ball to fly into the goal, Xavi rushed to the top without a defender around, Courtois was attracted by Messi, but in this case, Xavi himself was biased.

However, Barcelona still did not give up, and soon threatened Atletico's goal again, this time Sanchez, who shot on goal, broke through with the ball and cut inside, Courtois firmly lifted the ball off the line.

Corner, tactical corner, Xavi passes to Alves, who crosses diagonally to Andres Iniesta on the edge of the box, who adjusts slightly to shoot from distance, and the ball goes over the crossbar again and flies off the line.

Atletico counter-attacked, but unfortunately, Raul Garcia fell into Barcelona's offside trap and missed a one-on-one opportunity, so the attack and defense switched again.

However, although Barcelona had the advantage and frequently attacked the Atletico hinterland penalty area, they were never able to break Atletico's goal, and as time passed, the Barcelona players became more and more unable to hold their breath.

It is true that Barcelona are the best team in football today, and they are the strongest team, but they are human after all, and they can be anxious, and this has been reflected even earlier.

At this time, Barcelona needs heroes, someone needs to step up, and Barcelona has such heroes, and there is more than one.

Of course, among the stars of Barcelona, Messi undoubtedly has an unshakable position, so at this moment, everyone in Barcelona pins their hopes on Messi.

Will Messi ever be disappointed by Barcelona fans? Eh~~~ Who knows, only Barcelona fans know, but in this game, Messi did not disappoint Barcelona fans.

In the 70th minute of the game, Barcelona attacked with the ball, and the ball came to Xavi's feet as usual, and even Xavi wanted to send it forward as usual.

It was a very common pass, but it was an ordinary pass that caused Atletico to concede the first goal of the game because the ball came to Messi's feet.

Messi looked a little careless after just getting off the ball and seemed to want to pass back, but just a second later, Messi made the exact opposite decision.

With a slight knock on his heel, he quickly turned and crossed over the other side of the Atletico captain, and the Atletico captain was tricked by Messi's trick and pretended to pass back just to let Gabi let his guard down.

When Messi broke through with the ball, the whole Barcelona team reacted instantly and began to run, Neymar rushed into the penalty area to attract the defense, and Sanchez moved sideways to be ready to respond.

But Messi doesn't seem to need to respond, accelerate ~~~ and accelerate again ~~~ and then change direction, and Godin, who rushed up to intercept, was crossed in this way.

"Danger ~~~ Messi broke through Godin and rushed into the penalty area" In fact, Godin wanted to foul, but his movements were too slow, or Messi was too flexible, and he dodged Godin's outstretched hand.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~ The ball went in~~~ Barcelona recovered a goal~~~Messi~~~ Messi's wonderful solo performance" After rushing into the penalty area, Messi shot directly with his feet, not giving Miranda a chance to get close at all.

Courtois couldn't stop Messi this time, because Messi's shot was too decisive, and because Neymar's position was too dangerous, and in the case that Miranda had turned to Messi, if Messi passed, Neymar would be empty.

"There is still a chance~~~ We still have a chance, there are more than twenty minutes left in the game, we are Barcelona, the best team in the world, we have enough time to turn this game around, as long as we score two more goals" The commentator from Catalonia was excited.

"It doesn't matter, although Barcelona recovered a goal, but the advantage is still in our hands, there are only 20 minutes left in the game, as long as we hold on, then the competition will still be ours in the end" Martinez is naturally on the side of Atletico Madrid.

In the stands, with Messi's goal, Barcelona has recovered a lot of confidence, and as for Atletico Madrid fans, they are not too worried, after all, Atletico Madrid is still two goals ahead.

And on the sidelines, Simeone made adjustments as soon as he conceded the goal, Adrian Lopes replaced him, and replaced Suarez, who had a balance of offense and defense, and it can be seen from this substitution that Simeone is indeed seeking stability.

Atletico Madrid made an adjustment, Barcelona was not idle, Martino also made an adjustment, and the second substitution of the game, Pedro, came on.

And Martino's substitution is also obvious, Pedersen is a lucky star for the Barcelona team, often has magical performances, always scoring goals at critical moments.
