Chapter 1220: A hat trick in the Champions League final
Barcelona have not been without a team that has played defensive counter-attacks, such as Real Madrid, their rivals in the domestic league this year.
But Barcelona didn't find it too difficult for Real Madrid to play against, and at Camp Nou, they even beat Real Madrid 5-0.
But this time in the Champions League final, Barcelona found that Manchester City's defensive counterattack made them feel unbearable......
It's not that City's counter-attacking tactics are any better than Real Madrid's.
It's because Manchester City has glory, Real Madrid doesn't.
The difference is as simple as that.
Manchester City, which plays defensive counterattacks, is actually even more terrifying!
※※※
Barcelona were a bit chaotic after conceding the goal, but Messi was still alive.
He is not reconciled, he has been equaled by glory in the Champions League scorer list, he doesn't care about this anymore, he cares more about the final champion of the Champions League.
He was not willing to let Glory beat him again and then take away the championship......
Even without the support of his teammates, he has to challenge for glory.
"Messi!!" With a loud shout from the commentator, Messi's shot was saved by Joe Hart, and it was Barcelona's most dangerous attack after conceding the goal.
But Messi was not satisfied, because the goal still didn't go in.
He shook his fist hard, looking furious.
He wasn't angry that the goal didn't go in, he was angry at his appearance.
He definitely got more chances than glory in this game, because Barcelona played offensive football before this, and Messi, as the core of the team, naturally got all the passing assists from his Barcelona teammates.
But he only scored one goal.
And Rongguang has scored two goals, and these two goals are actually the embodiment of Rongguang's personal ability......
In such a comparison, the gap between himself and Rongguang is inevitably too big.
This contrast made Messi feel a little frustrated, but at the same time it spurred him to work harder, because if he didn't work harder, he would probably be left farther away from glory......

Although there were still more than ten minutes to go, Manchester City's fans were already cheering and singing about the victory, turning Wembley Stadium into Manchester City Stadium completely.
Although the Barcelona fans in the stands did not give up and were still cheering for their team.
But in the cries of the excited Manchester City fans, their voices could not be heard at all.
So whether it's on the scene or in front of the TV, all you can hear is the voices of the Manchester City fans.
Although Manchester City actually only led by one goal at this time, it only took one more goal from Barcelona to equalize the score, and then there was a chance to play extra time.
But none of the Manchester City fans felt they could be beaten by Barcelona.
Quite simply, they have glory!
With all the glory, how could he have allowed such a thing to happen?
※※※
In the 81st minute, Barcelona attacked again, Manchester City players shrunk their defense, and Glory ran from the front to the center circle.
But just as he was passing the ball forward, Busquets made a mistake with his through ball. He was going to pass the football to Xavi.
As a result, the shrewd Sneijder came out of the middle and intercepted the ball directly!
Then Sneijder almost didn't hesitate and passed the football directly to Barcelona's backfield!
At this time, the Manchester City fans were still cheering for his successful interception.
John Mortenson exclaimed, "Could it be too urgent?" Don't worry, you can wait! Such a pass ......"
John Mortensen wanted to say that Sneijder shouldn't have rushed forward, although Busquets' misplaced pass meant that City were pie in the sky.
But in football, there are too many of these sudden mispasses, but the profit-winning side is often unable to grasp such opportunities, mostly because of the rush - for this sudden possession, because of the lack of preparation, the player with the ball does not know what to do.
In his opinion, Sneijder's kick falls into the category of rushing.
It stands to reason that he should at least observe the situation, if he can play a quick counterattack and then a quick counterattack, if not, then protect the football, or cross horizontally, pass back, control the rhythm, and attack slowly.
But Sneijder didn't even lift his head, and passed the football directly......
In the eyes of many people, it is naturally reckless.
John Mortensen was not the only one who thought so, but almost all the commentators in the commentary booth and many viewers in front of the television.
But at the moment of passing, Sneijder knew very well that he was not passing the ball casually, he was optimistic about the pass.
His goal is to ...... Glory!
※※※
Just as Sneijder broke the ball, the glory that was running back suddenly stopped, and then turned around and ran forward without hesitation!
And Mascherano, who was originally following him, was stunned by Rongguang's action, and he didn't react until Rongguang turned around successfully, Rongguang was going to catch the ball!
At such times, Mascherano would certainly not have the same thoughts as the commentators.
Sneijder: This is not necessarily a blind pass!
Although he may not have seen who passed the football and whether it was passed or not, it doesn't matter, as long as the glory runs, then he must catch up!
Sergio Busquets' heart stopped beating for a second when he saw Sneijder intercept his ball.
But when he saw Sneijder quickly pass the football behind him, he was relieved - it was difficult to pass the football accurately and well in such a hurry, and nine times out of ten it was to pass the football back to the feet of the Barcelona players, he was not in a hurry.
With a feeling he looked back...... The soul is almost scared away!
What did he see?
He saw the back of Glory running wildly, and the rest of his Barcelona teammates chasing after Glory.
And in front of them, a soccer ball is speeding forward against the turf!
Glory was chasing the ball, at his speed......
Busquets couldn't have thought about it anymore.
So he hurriedly turned around and chased back, regardless of whether his speed was useful or not, his body had already subconsciously reacted like this.
Sneijder, who finished passing the ball, didn't move at all, standing in place and entering the theater mode.
In fact, with his speed and the distance between him and the football now, it is useless to run, it is better to save some body, after all, many people's physical fitness has begun to decline significantly in this game......
※※※
"Rong!!"
John Mortson's earlier complaint was interrupted, and he changed his mouth to call out Glory's name.
Because he found that the speed of turning and chasing the glory of football was very, very fast!
Sneijder: This is not a hurried and blind pass as he imagined!
Everyone was chasing football, but it was clear that the glory was the fastest, with him well ahead of Mascherano and the pace of several other Barcelona players around him.
Finally, he caught up with the football at the penalty arc in front of the penalty area, did not continue to dribble the ball, did not stop the ball, and after the glory caught up with the football, he directly picked up his foot and shot a long shot!
When he shot the ball out, Alves had just run to his side, but there was nothing he could do but watch the ball fly towards the goal.
"Sakae-shoot!!"
Valdés soared into the air, stretching his arms as far as he could.
But he still hasn't touched football......
The ball flew between his hand and the goalpost and crashed into the net!
Hat! Hat! Hat trick!! John Mortenson repeats excitedly. Sakae scored a hat-trick! He sealed the win for Manchester City completely! Barcelona can't afford to score twice in a row in the rest of the game! No way! Barcelona is lost! ”
He was excited because the ball was about the championship.
The Manchester City fans in the stands also jumped up from their seats and raised their arms and chanted together as the football flew into the net, completely drowning out the cheers of the Barcelona fans.
They think the same thing as John Mortenson, they're not just cheering for the ball, they're cheering for the championship in hand!
Manchester City is finally going to be the king of Europe!
※※※
The Barcelona players saw the football being shot into the goal by Glory's clean long shot, many of them held their heads with their hands in pain, and some simply looked up at the sky, unable to bear to watch the scene of the football bouncing in the goal.
1:3, with ten minutes left in the game time, how could they score two goals in a row and not let Manchester City score?
The Barcelona fans in the stands were also silent, and many of them sat in their seats and stared at the pitch without saying a word.
When they arrived at Wembley Stadium in high spirits to see their team lift the Champions League trophy for the fourth time in their history, none of them could have imagined that what they would end up seeing.
This made them somewhat unwilling.
Because of this final, they did not lose to Manchester City, but only to Glory......
Barcelona football has always been proud of being strong as a whole, but it is such a strong team that has lost to one person. This is simply a subversion of their three views on football.
The Catalan commentator was completely silent, watching the Manchester City players celebrate wantonly, he didn't know what to say, of course he didn't want to cheer for Manchester City, but he couldn't say anything to comfort the Barcelona fans.
It is clear that Barcelona has failed.
Nothing to say. I1292
