Arsenal were in high spirits after the goal, and Barcelona immediately instigated the attack after the restart, Ronaldinho made a wide attacking transfer on the left side of the field, and Giuli failed to force a breakthrough through Ashley Cole after receiving it on the right flank.

Arsenal turned around and immediately launched a counter-attack.

Ashley Cole passed straight to Pire, Pire knocked the ball horizontally with a kick, and Fabregas, who followed up, passed the ball diagonally to the right front, and Qin Xiong rushed through the midfield to control the football.

Three passes and two downs, without any drag, Arsenal's counterattack is fast and sharp!

Qin Xiong strode forward with the ball, Henry rushed forward from the left side of the front field to the middle of the goal, Henry attracted the attention of many Barcelona defenders, but on the right side, one person cut into the Barcelona penalty area like a sharp knife.

Ljungberg!

Qin Xiong did not hesitate to send a pick pass in front of Edmilson.

The ball crossed the back line and flew straight to the right side of the penalty area.

Ljungberg slaps his horse in time to hit the goal with a header!

It's a pity that he was too upright, and he was directly taken into Valdés's arms!

The Arsenal fans in the stands hugged their heads in regret, and Rijkaard, despite his usual look on the sidelines, was already in shock.

Valdés grabbed the ball and immediately lunged forward, flicking the ball over the edge of the box and sending it to midfielder Deco.

Qin Xiong felt a little thrilled at this time.

Because when he turned to look at his own half, he saw that Barcelona's offensive formation was very neat, and Deco instigated an offensive from the middle, which was a counterattack by Barcelona!

Arsenal's defence may not have enough time to drop back, and the key is to delay the opposition's attacking work, this moment. Arsenal can't do it well.

Qin Xiong really wanted to harass Deco. But Deco simply didn't have that chance for him. Straight to the left side of the pitch, Ronaldinho was in steady possession.

Cesc Fabregas defended in front of Ronaldinho, and although the chances were slightly better this time than before, Ronaldinho was no longer going to try to break through to dense defences.

He pretended to break down the left flank, and after Cesc Fabregas had moved back his centre of gravity, he suddenly flicked the ball sideways and got away from Cesc Fabregas at breakneck speed, as Silva moved. He pretended to pass the ball to Deco who was cut in behind, and then slammed the ball forward at Silva's feet when he hesitated and forced his way through!

At this time, Arsenal's back line was a little flustered, perhaps for the first time Barcelona had penetrated the back line so frighteningly, so the back line automatically shrank to the middle and pushed outward, compressing the space for Ronaldinho to break through.

They didn't dare to go back, and once they did, Ronaldinho could have a shot from within 20 yards of the goal, giving him that chance. Then it's really not far from death!

But just as the back line was pushing forward, Ronaldinho's magical right foot sent a through ball. The ball penetrated between Toure and Campbell and rolled straight into the box.

Eto'o, the African cheetah, slammed into the box with a bloodthirsty wildness.

Lehmann was ready to abandon the goal, and when he rushed to the outside of the penalty line, Eto'o was the first to touch the ball, slashing the ball diagonally in front of the fallen Lehmann and changing it to the crowd!

Just as Eto'o was almost shaking Lyman, he suddenly fell to the ground!

Lehmann's hand brought down Eto'o's ankle, causing Eto'o to lose his balance and fall to the penalty line.

Eto'o's football that picked up Lehmann was sent directly into the empty goal by Gyuli, who cut inside from the right!

Just as Barcelona began to celebrate the goal, the referee blew the whistle for a foul on Arsenal and ruled that Barcelona's goal was invalid!

"Oh my God! Barcelona's goal was blown away! How does the referee award a foul and a goal in this offensive process? In the slow-motion replay, we see that Lehmann did commit a foul, and given that Samuel Eto'o had already formed a one-on-one chance, Lehmann's foul was fatal, but if the referee thinks the attack is favourable, then Gyuli's goal should be valid.

Oh no!

The referee showed Lehmann a red card!

There is no problem with a red card, but in the either-or, I think all the spectators around the world who watched this game must have expected the referee to choose the latter, and the penalty will be valid, so that Lehmann will stay on the pitch and ensure that the number of players on both sides is balanced!

Anyway, the referee couldn't have blown Lehmann for a foul to end the game and show him a red card, and then ruled that Giuli's goal was valid.

In the choice of one of the two, the referee's choice is debatable!

Lehmann became the first player in the history of the Champions League final to be sent off with a red card! He wrote a record, but it was not a glorious record. ”

The whole Arsenal squad was very unhappy with the referee's decision.

They can accept conceding a goal, but they can't accept the bad situation of having one man missing.

There are more than 50 minutes left in the game!

What does it mean to have Barcelona play one more than Arsenal?

I'm afraid that according to Barcelona's attacking strength, it will be difficult for Arsenal to fight back!

Barcelona were also unhappy with the referee's decision.

What they need more is to score, to equalise and to feel safe inside.

In any case, it would be in their favour to choose one of the two decisions, but the immediate benefit must be the goal, not the opponent who has one less player.

Who can guarantee that one more player will win?

Lehmann's red card made the momentum of Arsenal seem to be poured cold water.

The situation has taken a turn for the worse!

Arsene Wenger made a substitution on the sidelines with a solemn look.

"Because Lehmann was sent off, Arsenal needed to replace the substitute goalkeeper, so they needed to remove a key player, and the person Wenger chose to remove was Pire!

Pire's Champions League final is over! ”

Pire was stunned when he saw the assistant referee on the sidelines call the substitution number as his own.

His Champions League final came to an end after Arsene Wenger's decision!

Why me?

Why me?

Why? Why?!!!!

The numb Pierre was roaring in his heart, questioning, and venting his unwillingness!

But he had to go to the sidelines, he had to get off the field.

Arsene Wenger wanted to comfort him as he walked out of the pitch, but Pire ignored Wenger and went straight to the bench.

Although, in the big picture, replacing Piret was the right decision.

The back line can't move, Henry, Qin Xiong can't be replaced, and Fabregas, the organizer of the midfield and backfield, can't move for the time being, otherwise Qin Xiong will have to be sacrificed to retreat.

As a result, the substitution was actually a choice between Ljungberg and Pire.

In terms of offense alone, Pire's legacy is more valuable.

But now that there is one less player, it is also an indisputable fact that Ljungberg, who has the characteristics of a desperate Saburo, can contribute more to the team.

After all, Ljungberg is younger than Pire.

But in Pire's case, he may never be able to forgive Arsene Wenger for that decision.

Pire, who originally planned to renew his contract with Arsenal at the end of the season, decided to say goodbye at this moment and ended his Gunners career next season as a free agent at the Love Song Stadium. (To be continued......)
