Glory didn't get the ball in this assault, and the football was still firmly controlled at the feet of the Barcelona players.

Barcelona control the football, but are not in a hurry to attack, and seem to be constantly passing the back foot, everyone is constantly moving, as if there is no fixed formation and position at all.

In the face of Barcelona's inverted feet, Manchester City did not run with the football, in a vain attempt to snatch the football from the feet of the Barcelona players.

Instead, they quickly recovered and concentrated within their own thirty-meter area, waiting for Barcelona to attack.

This is also Manchester City's way of dealing with Barcelona, using dense defense to contain Barcelona's passing and cutting cooperation, except for Messi, there is no man-to-man defense anywhere else, but zone defense, which can ensure that Manchester City's backline will not be torn apart and disturbed by Barcelona's passing.

Originally, Manchester City's good tactic was to defend and counterattack, and shrinking the defense was the norm for them.

And in the face of Manchester City's dense defense, Barcelona has no better way for the time being.

So the game had just begun, and it was a stalemate.

"This Manchester City team, under the tutelage of Benitez, is a team that is very good at playing defensively. Barcelona, on the other hand, are very attacking teams. Now these two strong teams, I think friends who want to see a wonderful and fierce battle will definitely be disappointed. Alan Hansen said. Since ancient times, the finals have been nameless. As for the duel between Rong and Messi, in fact, we all hope that both of them can show their best condition, but it is in this situation that both teams will come out of a very tight defensive deployment against Rong and Messi, and it is not easy for the two of them to have excellent performances. Maybe this game can be decided by just one goal......"

Alan Hansen's words came as the game had been played for eight minutes and neither side had yet to shoot on goal.

Barcelona had been in control of the football since kick-off, but were in no hurry to shoot.

Of course, such a move has different interpretations among different populations.

The Catalan commentators all agreed that it was a sign of Barcelona's strong control, which allowed them to keep the ball in this way until the end of the game if they wanted to. With such a strong grip, Barcelona will surely beat Manchester City.

In John Mortenson's view, this illustrates Barcelona's fear of Manchester City: "Barcelona are still in possession, but I don't think it's because they're so good at control, it's because they're afraid of Manchester City. They didn't want to lose possession lightly, so they didn't dare to shoot......"

But no matter which way you interpret it, if you don't shoot all the time, it's not a normal game.

Barcelona are looking for a chance to kill with a single blow, while Manchester City are guarding against Barcelona's passes, guarding against their sudden acceleration in the midst of seemingly pointless inversions – and that's how Barcelona are doing the trick.

To be honest, it's actually quite a burden for both teams.

Even a team as strong as Barcelona can take a big risk with consecutive passes, and they have a better chance of being snatched by Manchester City with one more pass. If they can't find a good chance to score, then they may have to shoot casually.

And Manchester City is the same, if they are always so nervous against Barcelona, sooner or later they will break their nerves.

So this situation cannot be sustained for long.

※※※

In the ninth minute of the game, Messi, who had been running and waiting and looking for opportunities in the front, returned to the halfway line, he did not have many chances in front, and Manchester City defended him too tightly, so he had to drop back sharply to get rid of the Manchester City player Matuidi who was specifically marking him, and create space for his sprinting and dribbling.

And even as he was running back, Xavi had already noticed his run and passed the ball in advance.

The reason why he did this was to fully take into account Messi's needs. If you wait until Messi runs to the position and then passes the football over, then Matuidi will stick it up, and even if Messi receives the ball, he will face Matuidi's close marking, and there is still no way to get rid of the defense.

Only passing the ball while Messi is running back can ensure that Messi receives the ball before Matuidi has time to stick to him.

Next, Xavi believes that Messi must have a way.

Just as Sneijder believed in glory......

Sure enough, as soon as he ran to the halfway line, Messi received the ball from Xavi, and at the same time he jumped up and stepped on the football to make a Marseille slal.

It's just that instead of turning in the direction of attack, he turned to his back.

It seems pointless, just a show off of skill.

But in fact, Messi used this Marseille maneuver to complete his turn, and although he returned to his own half and was farther away from the Manchester City goal, he was now facing the attacking direction!

You must know that under Matuidi's defense before, he has always had his back to the attacking direction.

And in the process, he hasn't let the football out of his control.

Even Matuidi couldn't do it if he wanted to get the ball down.

Now Matuidi is facing a very difficult situation - defending Messi, in fact, the most important thing is not to let him turn, as long as Messi does not turn, his threat will be much less. But if he turns around, with his speed and ball skills, it's much easier to get rid of defenders......

Sure enough, Messi, who had just turned around, quickly rushed forward with the ball!

At the same time, Matuidi stretched out his foot to break the ball!

Messi flicked the ball on the inside of his right foot to avoid Matuidi's tackle, and then his left foot kept the ball in front.

"Croquettes!"

At the roar of the Catalan commentator, Messi dodged Matuidi's defense!

He finally got rid of the defender who had been with him from the beginning of the game, almost never leaving an inch!

The Barcelona fans in the stands let out a huge cheer for Messi.

Messi, who got rid of Matuidi, threw the ball out, accelerated along the wing, and rushed to the Manchester City penalty area!

※※※

Seeing that Matuidi was actually thrown away by Messi, this is equivalent to sounding the first-level battle alarm in the hearts of Manchester City players.

Suddenly, three Manchester City players rushed towards Messi.

Just like when other teams defend Glory, there will always be several people rushing to Glory, and when other teams defend Messi, there will also be such a scene.

And Messi always encounters a one-on-one situation, he is not panicked, although he slowed down under the interception of three people, he did not stop, but continued to dribble the ball along the side and walked forward.

Faced with a block from Manchester City's left wing-back Leighton Barnes, Messi flicked the ball inside again with his right foot.

Then he took the ball with his left foot, but it was not a croquette, he just carried the ball forward with his left foot, touched the ball once, touched the ball a second time, and his speed was not fast, as if he was adjusting.

But when touching the third ball, Messi's left foot slammed the ball forward!

The ball got between the legs of Manchester City's Gareth Barry, who was stuck inside!

At the same time, Messi, who was not fast, suddenly accelerated and rushed between Barnes and Barry!

Breakthrough!

"Oooh! Pretty! Nice break! The Catalan narrator shouted excitedly.

The shouts of the Barcelona fans in the stands were also louder.

Messi, who broke through the three people, took the ball to Manchester City's penalty area, this time he didn't continue to move along the sideline, and the poor dagger saw it, all of which were on it, Messi must be stupid if he wanted to continue to walk on the side, could it be that he still wanted to cross to Gao Lin on the side?

※※※

It only took two steps for Messi to dribble into the Manchester City penalty area, and the Barcelona fans in the stands ignored the shouting and dubbed the boos of the Manchester City fans.

Amid their cheers, Messi threw the ball to the left with his right foot and dodged Manchester City centre-back Vincent Kompany, who had come up to defend him.

Lucio rushed up from the left, intending to relay Kompany to intercept Messi.

Everyone thought that Messi would continue to shake Lucio and then face goalkeeper Joe Hart.

But at this time, Messi suddenly got up and shot the goal!

A furious shot of the left foot!

The ball scurried past Lucio's outstretched foot, clinking to the turf at breakneck speed, not high, but it was the kind of ball that made it harder for the goalkeeper to save.

Joe Hart's reaction was a little slower, because he didn't expect Messi to shake off Kompany just after entering the penalty area, and he actually shot directly with his feet!

He pounced on the near corner when he saw Messi kicking the ball towards the goal. But his speed is still not fast enough in front of the speed of football!

Before he could pounce on the near corner, Messi's shot crashed on the turf in front of him, bounced and then accelerated forward, crossing the goal line between the post and his hand!

The ball is in!

※※※

The cheers of the Barcelona fans at Wembley Stadium reached their peak, and they cheered for the goal despite the roar.

And the commentators on the commentary table were also very excited.

"The ball is in! The ball is in! Messi! Messi! Leo Messi!! What a great goal!! In the Champions League final, Messi scored a great goal that will be etched in the history of the Champions League! It wasn't the Catalan commentator who said that, but the commentator from the neutral country of France Télévision.

And he's not the only one saying that.

Almost all the commentators were singing praises to Messi.

This goal from Messi conquered them all.

"Messi's goal is wonderful! He beat the whole Manchester City team alone! City's defenders are bleak in front of him! ”

"Incredible! Unbelievable! Messi's form is really good! Now he is simply invincible! ”

"Messi is so close to Manchester City's goal that there are only five Manchester City players between them......"

Of course, if you want to praise Messi, you still have to look at the Catalan commentator. He always blows new angles: "It's a goal from another galaxy!" Scored by Messi from another galaxy! Such a Messi, even if it is Rong, will feel terrible! ”

John Mortensen sat next to the Catalan commentator, and although he couldn't understand the Catalan interpreter's Catalan language, you could see how excited he was from his excited expressions and movements.

For John Mortensen at this time, the more excited the other party is, the more unhappy he becomes.

Because both sides are enemies. Messi has been being touted and praised more and more in the media lately, which has made John Mortensen unhappy for him who has positioned himself as a "glory supporter".

Especially those media nonsense that Messi has surpassed glory and that the era of Messi has arrived......

Are you kidding?

It's just a temporary lead in the Champions League scorer list! Dare to speak presumptuously about the times?

So he pouted and said: "Messi's goal is beautiful, but I think this kind of goal must have become commonplace for Manchester City fans, you must know that Rong often scores this kind of goal!" ”I580
