Chapter 391: The Game Is Over
Barcelona once again attacked Chelsea's heartland, and Vidal, who came off the bench, was very active, and Vidal caused a lot of impact on Chelsea's backline.
In a cross with Messi, Christensen was pulled away by Vidal, and Iniesta immediately sent a blank ball when he saw this, and Messi quickly caught up with the football.
Fortunately, Rudiger reacted in time, rushed out of the box when he saw Vidal and Messi switch positions, and finally brought Messi down outside the big penalty area, without giving Messi a chance to enter the box.
Barcelona's attacking core and tactical core has always been Messi, and after his teammates attracted enough defense in the middle, Andres Iniesta made a diagonal pass, Messi cut inside on the wing, used his speed to shake off Christensen, and rushed into the box.
"Shoot! Messi's powerful shot! Didn't make ...... Courtois flew to save Messi's powerful shot, Barcelona's corner.
Andres Iniesta goes over to take a corner! Andres Iniesta drove towards goal, which was definitely not a wise choice, and the Barcelona players were at an absolute disadvantage when it came to heading the ball! ”
It was at such a disadvantage that Barcelona still completed the goal, and the person who scored the goal was Messi, because Rudiger made a mistake this time!
"Barcelona scored another goal! Rudiger's mistake, although Rudiger grabbed the header...... But let the football finally fall at the feet of Messi. ”
'This time, Messi didn't let the opportunity slip away again, and after the football fell, Messi didn't adjust and volleyed straight before the defenders in the entire Chelsea box didn't react.
As for Barcelona, the score has changed from 4 to 2 to 4 to 3!
Three minutes later, Chelsea were ready to return the color, but Moses' forward cut was cut off, but Barcelona's attack couldn't get a shot on goal, and the ball came to another test after a few passes!
This time Barcelona's attack was blocked by Alonso, Iniesta's wide break was intercepted by Alonso's flying tackle, and the football returned to the feet of Chelsea, Alonso crossed the ball, Kante received the ball, Kante directly hoisted the ball into Barcelona's half, Jones jumped up again to the top of the ball, and passed the ball to Hazard.
Hazard held the ball forward, and when facing Busquets, Hazard used a Marseille slalom to break through, but Pique was extremely accurate when Hazard completed the Marseille slalom, and went straight forward to tackle, and the football was out of Hazard's control.
However, Chelsea's attack didn't end there, as Jones caught up quickly with the ball and then fed it back to Eden Hazard before the referee's whistle blew.
Offside, Alba reacted quickly, and after seeing Jones catch up with the football, Alba immediately moved forward, giving up the last position to Hazard, who saw Jones catch up with the football and continue to move forward.
In the following time, the two sides went back and forth in the attack, and even in an attack, Pedro raised his foot too high in order to fight for the ball, kicked Alba and got a yellow card, and then, Alonso also fouled Iniesta at the edge of the penalty area and also got a yellow card!
Pedro then broke past Jordi Alba, but the late shot didn't pose much of a threat to Barca, but Pedro's performance boosted the morale of the Chelsea players.
In the next few waves of attacks, Pedro almost always attacked in the same way, but the result was not good, Barcelona was not prepared at the beginning, and after many times, Barcelona naturally reacted.
But just as Barcelona reacted, Pedro scored, and in the 83rd minute of the game, the football passed from the feet of Moses to Pedro's feet again!
Pedro held the ball, but this time, Pedro did not force a break into the box, and after approaching Alba, Pedro burst into the corner and turned and passed back to Moses behind him.
Pedro's turn back pass was very hidden, and Alba didn't find it at the first time, not to mention Pedro's confusion before.
And Moses and Pedro's cooperation has long been tacitly compatible, and the moment Pedro returns the pass, Moses knows what Pedro is going to do next.
Moses kicked straight and rolled the ball behind Alba, and on the other side, Jones began to pull to the left and made a feint to attack the goal, drawing Barcelona's defensive strength away in the box and creating a chance for Pedro!
'Moses' pass, Pedro got past Alba, Jones pulled off the edge to draw away Barcelona's defence in the box, Chelsea's chances, Pedro's chances.
Shot! Push! In the face of the attacking Ter Stegen, Pedro calmly pushed, and the ball grazed the post and rolled into the net!
Chelsea's fifth goal of the game! It's unbelievable that Chelsea scored five goals against Barcelona in one game! Chelsea once again stretched their lead to two goals.
Pedro scored his first goal of the game, but Moses and Jones also played a big role, with Moses having been in form lately and providing two lethal assists in the game, as Jones also drew Barcelona into the box with a strong grip on his side. ”
Pedro and Moses hugged each other to celebrate the goal, and their teammates ran over to celebrate with them!
……………………
Today's Barcelona fans are a little too quiet, the cheers in the stands seem weak, and they don't seem to believe the facts in front of them.
They were conceded by Chelsea with five goals! Valverde had already breathed a few breaths today.
After that, Barcelona and Chelsea, against the two sides, you went back and forth, and they were very happy, but relying on Jones, who was running all over the field, and Pedro, who was in full form, the score remained at 5-3.
Regulation time was quickly depleted in two fruitless attacks from Chelsea, and the fourth official also held up a sign in his hand that read a big three.
There weren't many interruptions in the second half, three minutes of stoppage time was normal, and when the game went to stoppage time, the ball was at the feet of Barcelona and it was Messi who was in possession.
"Messi!"
"Kante didn't stop him!"
"Messi shoots! Will this make Messi score a hat-trick?! "When the game entered the final stoppage time, the Catalan TV commentator shouted!
Messi's three consecutive touches of the ball, each touch of the ball will change direction obviously, not to mention that Kante is now brought in by physical exertion, even if he is full of physical strength, it is difficult to stop the Barcelona king from rushing forward.
It was the first time Messi had shaken off N'Golo Kante's defence completely, and he fired from the edge of the box with his foot on goal, which gave Courtois a fourth time to get out of the net and denied Chelsea's counter-attack, before everyone heard three whistles.
"It's over! The score is 5-4! Although Barcelona lost this game, they took away 4 away goals, and Messi broke the embarrassment of not scoring in 8 games and scored a hat trick directly!
That's football, the stronger side doesn't always win, the desire to win and the tenacious will to fight have made them play at a high level, they let the fans see a feast of goals, it was a good game, although Chelsea won the game, but they conceded four goals, and when they get to Camp Nou, there will be a tough game waiting for them! ”
