The news that Real Madrid had qualified for the final spurred Barcelona. Before the match against Manchester United www.biquge.info Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola specifically mentioned the match between Real Madrid and Celtic, although he did not watch it, but this did not prevent him from using the opponent's victory to stimulate his players.

"Gentlemen, they're in the finals, and if you want revenge, you all know what to do, right?"

The semi-final between Barcelona and Manchester United was the one that everyone watched most, and even Real Madrid's manager Jose Mourinho was very concerned about it, although he did not go to the game, he still watched the game in front of the TV.

Barcelona at home were really impressive, they took over the initiative from the very beginning of the game, and United could only defend passively. But in the face of Barcelona's indiscriminate bombardment, any passive defense is dangerous.

Ferguson certainly knew, but he really didn't have much to do. The tactics he formulated for the team in this game were to defend and counterattack, use defense to delay the game, as long as the first half was 0:0, he could use the counterattack to sneak attack Barcelona in the second half.

He knew that after Real Madrid reached the final, Barcelona must be eager to get into the final for revenge. It was the only opportunity United could take advantage of. As long as Barcelona fail to score in the first half, they will become impatient and there will be a lot of holes in the backline.

Ferguson, however, underestimated Barcelona's determination to reach the final - they would never allow the first half to be 0-0!

"Look at Barcelona's attacking play-through! It's a delight to behold! Maybe their home defeat to Real Madrid was just a surprise? ”

The commentators said the same.

Watching this game in Barcelona, it's no wonder they feel that way.

Barcelona today and Barcelona before it are two teams entirely.

Barcelona, who played against Real Madrid last Sunday, had their performances, but they were always inconsistent, as if they were tied up by Real Madrid.

Today's Barcelona has shown the momentum of being the master of Camp Nou everywhere, both passing and running are very calm and sophisticated, and they have suddenly returned to the previous state and level. One has to wonder if the Barcelona team that played against Real Madrid is really Barcelona...... In the twenty-first minute of the first half, Barcelona finally scored at home. Their tireless offensive paid off.

"Leo. Messi!! His eleventh goal of the season! He surpassed C. Ronaldo again to become the top scorer in the Champions League! It's amazing! ”

There was a huge cheer at Camp Nou, and Messi's goal meant that even if the game was over now, Barcelona would eliminate Manchester United and advance to the final!

"Barcelona have their destiny firmly in their hands! Now Manchester United are cornered! They have to score! ”

United were indeed cornered and they had to score, at least one away goal, to regain the aggregate score and offset Barcelona's advantage on the road.

Ferguson felt very embarrassed, if he pressed out to attack after just over 20 minutes of the game, it would only give Barcelona more chances to score, but if he didn't, as the game time passed, there would be less and less time left for United to themselves.

He thought about it, but he still didn't decide to press out and attack now. Because he thinks that 0:1 in the first half is not an unacceptable result, but if the score in the first half becomes 0:2, then the situation is not good.

It was 0:1 in the first half, and as long as Manchester United can score a goal in the second half, the aggregate score is 3:2, and Manchester United can still advance. Don't be in such a hurry to equalise.

Compared with the goal, the task of defending is more urgent and heavier, so before the end of the first half, it is better to continue to defend......※※ Mourinho only watched the first half and came to the conclusion that Barcelona will advance to the final. Manchester United has too many worries, and they can't let go of their hands and feet at all, so if you play against Barcelona, it will be very, very tiring, and once the huge pressure and fatigue hit the team, even if the nerves of Manchester United players are like steel, they can't withstand it.

He still remembers leading Inter Milan to a decisive match against Barcelona at Camp Nou, a game in which Inter and himself were under tremendous pressure, and if Pique's goal had happened earlier, he and his players might not have been able to withstand it.

The same is true of Real Madrid last season, who always had a lot of worries when playing against Barcelona and were afraid of conceding goals early, so they had to defend with all their strength and lost their attacking sharpness.

The result? Still lost.

In the new season, because of the addition of Chu Zhongtian, Real Madrid's midfield has become unprecedentedly strong, and it can already compete with Barcelona's midfield, so Mourinho also dares to attack Barcelona at Camp Nou.

And Manchester United does not have such capital.

He knew that United had wanted to compete with Real Madrid before the season, and they were even the first team to make an offer to Hoffenheim. If it weren't for Zidane who persuaded Chu Zhongtian in his private capacity, maybe Chu Zhongtian would have gone to Manchester United.

Now, Mourinho is glad that he is under his own hands, not on his opponent's side...... and Manchester United did not concede a goal in the first half, which made Ferguson very satisfied at half-time, and he encouraged his players that it is not a big deal to fall behind by one goal, as long as we can score in the second half, we can turn the situation around!

At the same time, on the Barcelona side, Guardiola was also satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, he did not feel angry and impatient because he only scored one goal in the first half as Ferguson thought, on the contrary, he told his players that there is no need to be impatient, because this score is enough for them to qualify for the final, so in the second half, we must not only think about attack, but ignore the defense, Barcelona's football tradition - full attack and defense still have to be adhered to.

As long as football is controlled on their side, Manchester United will not be able to make any waves.

In fact, the second half of the game did exactly that.

United tried to counter-attack, only to find that Barcelona were in a neat formation and did not become as impatient as they thought would be with the passage of time, and there would be more space behind them.

But they became impatient as time went on...... Because it's them who are not in the mood for Barcelona...... Barcelona used their best possession skills to keep the game firmly at their feet. At the same time, their pressing up front has also caused United a lot of pain. Barcelona players are always able to get the ball through the backfield very easily and quickly to send the ball to the front. And what about Manchester United? When the football was at their back, Barcelona's pressing made them very uncomfortable and they couldn't send the football out smoothly.

In this regard, Barcelona were able to send football out of the field, and their defender Butzques played a crucial role, using his body, movement and technique to connect Barcelona's back and midfield.

The Barcelona player fell to his feet at the back and the line of the pass became very clear because of a Butzques.

And what about Manchester United? There is a lack of such a player who can link up the front and back. Fletcher defensively is good, but he's pretty close to it in that regard.

At the same time, Barcelona insisted on pressing all over the field, and the wall tactics in the front field were also one of the important reasons why Manchester United could not smoothly deliver shells to the front. What about Manchester United? When the Barcelona players got the ball at the back, they didn't play it very aggressively, they just watched the opposition pass the ball in front of their eyes, and finally sent the football to the midfield...... This comparison shows where the gap between Manchester United and Barcelona is.

※※※Seeing Barcelona's performance so calm and calm, many Real Madrid fans are very unhappy. Because they prefer that Barcelona can't even reach the Champions League final, losing two titles in four days in a row will definitely break the hearts of Barcelona fans, and at the same time make Real Madrid fans happy.

But in this situation, it is unlikely that Barcelona will want to lose, and Manchester United's strength cannot be compared to Barcelona.

"Barcelona are so strong that they seem to have completely pulled themselves off from the other big teams, and looking at the game, it's only a matter of time before they knock Manchester United. Manchester United work hard, but the gap in strength makes them powerless...... Of course, is it a coincidence or an inevitability that such a mighty Barcelona lost at home to Real Madrid? In the next Champions League final, we will all be able to find out. ”

In the end, Barcelona scored another goal in the 72nd minute, which completely upset the mood of the United players. If they don't score, they lose. Behind the big counterattack is a large expanse of vacancy.

These openings allowed Barcelona's players to run rampant.

United were unable to score until the end. Rooney and hard work, but his connection with the midfield has been completely cut off, Manchester United lacks a real sense of the organizer, whether it is Park Ji-sung or Nani, or Anderson, Fletcher, are not organizers, Park Ji-sung is more like a sapper, Nani is just a winger, Anderson and Fletcher are defense-oriented midfielders.

They lacked players who could organise the attack, which led to their defeat.

"It's over! Barcelona beat Manchester United 2-0 at their home stadium and advanced to the final with an aggregate score of 3-2! ”

"The final of the Spanish duo has made this Champions League final the third leg of the national derby of the season! Fans have even more reasons to look forward to the final! ”

"The first step of Barcelona's revenge plan has come true! At the Allianz Arena, they will take revenge on Real Madrid! ”

"This is the real pinnacle matchup, in the final of the highest level of world football today, the fierce collision of two of the strongest teams in world football today is enough to attract the attention of the world!"

The final matchup between Barcelona and Real Madrid is something that many people are happy to see. Because of the collision of these two teams, it is worthy of the stage of "Champions League final".

Barcelona were up to par last season, but Hoffenheim's appearance surprised many, and although Hoffenheim beat Barcelona in the final, there were still those who thought that Hoffenheim was just shit lucky, and their matchup with Barcelona affected the excitement of the Champions League final itself. Last season's Champions League final can be regarded as Chu Zhongtian's performance alone, and it has nothing to do with the duel between the two teams.

Whether it is Hoffenheim or Barcelona, it is all for Chu Zhongtian to make the background curtain.

This season is different, with big names on both sides, stars shining brightly, and players worth more than the World Cup final, making it the most expensive football game...... Such a final deserves to be called the "Champions League final".

The day after the match, the Catalan media and other media rushed to praise Barcelona's result, as if the defeat to Real Madrid four days earlier was just a dream.

"Three finals in four years! What team can match such a performance? Isn't this a dynasty or what?! Catalonia's newspaper Le Monde Sport made such a bold statement.

Reaching the final for the second year in a row speaks volumes about Barcelona's quality...... However, it is a pity that Hoffenheim was not able to beat last season, otherwise the media should have said this now: "three finals in four years, two championships".

But in the end, Hoffenheim and Chu Zhongtian ruined their good deeds. This is also an important reason why many Barcelona fans and media don't like Chu Zhongtian.

I don't know if Chu Zhongtian and Real Madrid will still spoil their good deeds this time...... "Yesterday's game let us see the familiar Barcelona!" Pep Guardiola and his disciples took it to ease with a home win over Manchester United. They recovered quickly from the home defeat to Real Madrid, which gave us reason to believe that the defeat was just an accident - in fact, from the perspective of that game, Barcelona had the upper hand, and if it hadn't been for Chu's sudden outburst in the second half of the game, Barcelona's victory over Real Madrid would not have been a problem...... This shows how important Chu is to Real Madrid, if he doesn't play well in the game, Real Madrid is no different from last season's Real Madrid, since we can beat them last season and knock them out of the Champions League semi-finals, then this season, we can beat them again! ”

The media in Catalonia are analysing Guardiola's opponents in the final.

They unanimously agreed that Chu Zhongtian is the person who should be on the alert to Guardiola. When Chu Zhongtian was in Hoffenheim before, he led the team to defeat Barcelona, and was ridiculed by these media as shit luck, no big deal. Now they all have to admit that Chu Zhongtian has strength, this strength should not be underestimated, and it must be taken seriously, otherwise Barcelona may lose again.

After Chu Zhongtian heard this, he didn't know whether he should thank these people for their "lifting" and "appreciation...... The media proposed that if you want to beat Real Madrid, you have to contain Chu Zhongtian, so how to contain Chu Zhongtian?

The media has also offered advice in the hope of helping Pep Guardiola.

Some people suggested using lethal tactics to directly kick Chu Zhongtian at the beginning of the game, so that he could not continue the game, so that Real Madrid would have no threat.

Of course, this approach is very unreliable, first of all, Harvey. Alonso is currently recovering well and is very likely to return before the Champions League final, so even if Chu Zhongtian is injured, Alonso can still be on top. The second is that Barcelona may also be reduced due to red cards, and there is one less person than the opponent at the beginning of the game, which is not a good thing against a team of Real Madrid's level...... It has also been suggested that Pep Guardiola should change the 433 formation that Barcelona have always insisted on and add a midfielder to the midfield to contain Chu Zhongtian. “…… Mascherano is a very good candidate. In the 2007 Champions League final, when Mascherano came on, AC Milan's midfield core Kaka basically did not play decently, and when Mascherano was replaced, AC Milan's midfield immediately became active...... I think that's enough to say what Mascherano is capable of. But Pep Guardiola has only used Mascherano as a substitute or as a cameo centre-back. I think in the midfield position is where this guy should be......

"The last league game has proven that Butzks can't contain Chu Zhongtian alone, why not give him an assistant? Mascherano is the best! Now Real Madrid insists on double midfielding, Khedira defends full-time, and Chu has more space and time to organize attacks, which is the main reason why he is outstanding in attack. Butzques is not inferior to Chu in this regard, but because he is the only midfielder and has a heavy defensive task, he has never been liberated...... Mascherano and Buzques partnered, I think Barcelona beat Real Madrid to lift their fifth Champions League trophy! ”

This suggestion seems to be the most constructive. Mascherano has not been happy in the past two years at Barcelona, he is the main midfielder in Liverpool, but when he arrived in Barcelona, because he could not adapt to Barcelona's artistic style of play, he could only be a substitute. Later, Pep Guardiola wanted to transform him into a central defender and let him replace the aging Puyol, but Mascherano was not tall enough, his header was poor, and his performance at centre-back was not consistent enough, so he became a substitute again...... In fact, after losing to Real Madrid last Sunday, the Catalan media has already made some criticism of Guardiola, saying that Barcelona's style of play is too soft and soft, and it is obvious that it is not suitable for Real Madrid's aggressive and hard-core style. When Chu Zhongtian, Khedira and even Pepe used ferocious defensive moves on the pitch again and again to force Barcelona to give up possession, all the Barcelona players could do was to fall to the ground again and again in pain and exaggeratedness, attracting the use of referees and rules to contain Real Madrid. But you can't always put your hopes in the referee, your fate should be in your own hands.

However, the opinion of this media has been criticized by many Barcelona fans and football legends. Even Cruyff wrote that Barcelona should stick to their style and not change it for the sake of winning or losing a game.

“…… The reason why Barcelona have the strength and enviable results they have today is precisely because of the tactical style we have adhered to for two decades. No matter how many titles we end up winning, it's the football itself that is Barcelona's calling card, and when people think of FC Barcelona, they think of football that is pleasing to the eye. This is the pride of Barcelona and a treatment that no amount of champions will ever enjoy! ”

Everyone knows who this sentence is for......
