Chapter 972: Defending the King's Cup

Seeing this, almost all Catalans frowned, for this game, the fans must take it seriously, but for others, the Copa del Rey final is just the appetizer, and the real main course is the Champions League later.

But now the Catalans have a bad premonition, because they see the suppression on the sidelines, from Simeone's suppression of Enrique.

Then, just when everyone thought that the game was out of suspense, not only on the pitch, but also Simeone was going to beat Enrique, the game took some unexpected changes.

It's still Messi, as the so-called thing is no more than three, Messi's third solo breakthrough, this time, Messi finally broke through Atletico Madrid's goal and broke through Oblak's ten fingers.

In the 80th minute of the game, Messi received a pass from Xavi, and then saw Messi accelerate and shake off Koke, and then change direction to pass the ball over Juanfran and successfully cut inside.

After rushing into the penalty area and facing Gimenez, Messi made another extremely practical technical move, with a light buckle and then a powerful shot.

"The ball went in~~~The ball went in~~~ Barcelona scored~~~Messi~~~Messi~~~ Barcelona's core wonderful individual performance, and the goal was scored after three people in a row."

Compared with Neymar's fancy, Messi's breakthrough action is simple and practical, one acceleration, one trip, another smash, one shot, without any extra fancy actions.

"1:2~~~1:2~~~~ There is still a chance ~~~ Barcelona still has a chance~~~ There are at least ten minutes left in the game counting stoppage time, and this ten minutes is enough to change everything for Barcelona" Hope, a goal from Messi brought infinite hope to Barcelona.

"Oh oh oh~~~ The game is not over ~~~ The battle for the championship is not over ~~~ Messi's goal pulls the suspense back" Or for this situation, the happiest are the neutral fans, because it will indicate that the next game will be more intense.

In fact, after scoring a goal, Barcelona was full of momentum and once again controlled the rhythm on the field, because of the hope brought by Messi's goal, Barcelona launched a final fight.

Rakitic and Busquets didn't even mean to defend, and began to share Xavi's possession, especially Rakitic, who in Xavi's absence, was the leader of the midfield and shared the responsibility of the organization with Iniesta.

However, as soon as Rakitic and Busquets stepped forward, the pressure on Barcelona's back line became huge, and Pique had long lost his previous arrogance, and even Pi Dazui didn't dare to speak big in front of Lin Dong.

Although this guy has a bad mouth, he is not a fool, in the past three years, he has provoked many wars, but in the end he was slapped in the face.

No, in the 82nd minute, Lin Dong told Barcelona that if he didn't give him enough respect, just rely on Pique and Mascherano, then he would probably score a hat-trick.

Yellow card, Pique's foul, after the game restarted, Atletico Madrid passed the ball to Lin Dong's feet as he wished, in the heart of Barcelona.

The ball was divided, facing the bag, Lin Dong pushed forward at his feet, and the ball crossed in the middle of Piquemascherano, and then Lin Dong accelerated with an explosion, trying to pass past Pique and Mascherano.

But it's a pity that Pique reacted quickly this time, fouled Lin Dong directly, and didn't give Lin Dong a chance at all, but he also paid the price of a yellow card, and this yellow card will become Pique's reminder, so that he doesn't dare to make any big moves in the next time.

Although Lin Dong likes to come hard, but he is not the fledgling guy after all, within the rule direction, Lin Dong does not mind creating favorable conditions for himself, and then giving a yellow card to Pique.

Direct free-kick, in this regard, Atletico have given up on treatment, and the final result did not bring any surprises, Coquemon kicked the ball straight away from the goal.

In the next eight minutes, it was basically Barcelona's attack, during which Atletico had a chance to counterattack, for which Barcelona once again paid the price of a yellow card to prevent Atletico from counterattacking quickly.

In the 84th minute, Messi held the ball again, but this time neither Koke nor Juanfran gave Messi another chance, and Barcelona's core function was passed to Pedro, who was passing to Neymar, but the final shot was indeed Alba, a long shot from outside the box.

Three minutes later, Barcelona slotted into Atletico's heart again, this time with Neymar holding the ball, switching direction after a succession of cycles before crossing to Pedro on the edge of the penalty area, who came off the bench for a second shot.

In the 89th minute, Barcelona once again attacked the hinterland of Atletico Madrid, but this time it was cut off by Atletico Madrid, and then Atletico Madrid counterattacked, and Rakitic saw that the situation was not good, and directly fouled Lin Dong.

Immediately Atletico Madrid used up the last substitution, Suarez replaced Thiago, who was obviously unable to keep up with his physical fitness, and this substitution directly caused a riot of Barcelona fans in the stands, and the Barcelona coach complained.

Thiago walked to the pitch almost step by step in a mobile way, while Suarez did not immediately come on the pitch in the alternation, tying his shoelaces and tidying up his shirts and trousers, for which both were warned by the referee.

Perhaps it was precisely because of Atletico's behavior that the referee gave an extra long stoppage time, and as soon as this stoppage time came out, the riot became Atletico Madrid, because the referee gave five minutes of stoppage time.

Barcelona ignored Atletico's riots, and then the game resumed, Barcelona attacked Atletico Madrid's hinterland again, and Messi received Xavi's pass again.

However, at the moment when Messi got the ball, a figure came out of the diagonal and Messi's reaction was not unpleasant, but Messi obviously didn't expect that this figure didn't want to break the ball at all, and hit it directly.

The big No. 9 behind that announced who this figure was, set-piece, in the face of Lin Dong's foul, the referee did not run away, because Lin Dong just didn't seem to brake the car, and there was no other foul action.

Of course, this may also be intentional by Lin Dong, so the referee still warned Lin Dong, but the warning was definitely useless at this time, because soon Lin Dong committed another foul, and the object was still Messi.

This time the referee took out the card, but this yellow card had no effect at all, after Lin Dong got the yellow card, other players could take over his class, so in the last time, Atletico Madrid used crazy foul tactics.

In the space of five minutes, Atletico Madrid received a total of five yellow cards, but these five yellow cards were still well worth it, because stoppage time was approaching and the score was still 2:1.

Eventually, with Velasco's whistle, the Camp Nou once again resounded with the singer of "We Are the Champions", but the owner of the song was not the owner of the stadium.
