1156 With victory and pride
Barcelona's royal arrogance was completely extinguished by Liverpool!
There were three minutes of stoppage time, but just two minutes later, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
Because Barcelona only look like they are in possession and have no desire to attack.
"The second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals at Camp Nou came to an end, and the defending Champions League champion Barcelona played at home with Premier League leaders Liverpool 4:4, and was eliminated with an aggregate score of 5:8!
Throughout the game, the core players of both teams played well.
Messi scored a hat-trick, which once gave Barcelona hope of a comeback, but Qin Xiong's four goals on Liverpool's side completely shattered the possibility of Barcelona's reversal.
Overall, Barcelona were better than the last one at Anfield, Liverpool's two-legged defensive counter-attack kept Barcelona at bay, and we can't deny that Barcelona were out of balance in the final 15 minutes of the game, and if it weren't for the brutality of the two-legged knockout rounds and the situation, Barcelona would have been able to win the game today, but they would still have been eliminated.
Liverpool's performance in this season's Champions League can be described as a low start and a high walk.
After stumbling in the group stage, coming to the knockout stage, beating Real Madrid over two legs to advance to the quarterfinals, and now another win and a draw to eliminate the defending champion Barcelona, they look unstoppable, I don't know which team in the semi-finals can compete with Liverpool, but the Champions League is always full of surprises, we can only wait and see what kind of opponent Liverpool will meet next. How will they perform in the semi-finals?
All right. The Champions League semi-finals will be played at the end of the month. We'll keep an eye on Liverpool's performance and see you soon! ”
The game is over.
The Barcelona generals looked gloomy, while the Liverpool crowd began to revel.
Qin Xiong shook hands and hugged his teammates one by one with an excited smile, and everyone showed crazy joyful expressions, yelling at each other to express their excitement after hugging.
Then Qin Xiong looked at the depressed Ibrahimovic and the expressionless Messi who suppressed the sense of loss, he retracted his gaze, took the ball of the game from the referee, and clamped the football to his waist with one hand. With the other hand holding the shirt he took off, the Liverpool generals came together, and Qin Xiong stood in the middle and walked towards the players' tunnel with his head held high.
The Red Army left with its head held high, pride and victory.
Just as Qin Xiong was about to walk into the players' tunnel, he suddenly stopped.
He heard singing echoing through the Camp Nou.
He turned to look at the stands, and suddenly saw a shocking scene.
It's not all, but it's still a staggering number of Barcelona fans singing collectively in the stands, showing a picture of unity and loyalty, and they are motivating the team with their songs!
Qin Xiong's eyes suddenly turned into a trance.
Barcelona lost today, but with the support and encouragement of the fans, they will definitely not be depressed!
Believe in the near future. Barcelona still has the capital to make a comeback and reach the top!
In the dressing room in Barcelona after the game, Kuyt opened champagne and spilled drinks in the dressing room to celebrate. Everyone got carried away and celebrated.
Koeman did not stop the players, they eliminated the defending champions, a team that is the best in European football, the sense of accomplishment is extraordinary, and the mental enjoyment and excitement are indescribable.
However, such a scene should not be leaked, and he walked out of the dressing room after explaining a few words to his fellow coaching staff, and after closing the door, Koeman went to the scene of the post-match press conference.
Pep Guardiola has already appeared at the press conference and he has not been harassed by the Spanish media.
Compared with Real Madrid, who lost without suspense, or even without the ability to resist, and gave the victory to Liverpool, Barcelona once gave everyone hope in the game.
The score doesn't tell the whole story of the game, especially the possibilities of the key moments.
"Liverpool's second goal changed everything, we were able to create miracles, but after Qin Xiong scored the second goal, we were off the winning track, I can only say congratulations to Liverpool, they performed very well, although I don't agree with Liverpool's football philosophy, they have a luxurious squad but are playing conservative and utilitarian football, but Liverpool eliminated Barcelona, I can only say they won, I am still proud of Barcelona, we performed much better in this game than the last one, and now we are eliminated, We're not going to stop, it's time to focus on the league and try to finish the season where we're still successful. ”
Regarding Guardiola's remarks, the Spanish media still agree with it and feel a certain amount of sympathy.
Barcelona's opponents are often overwhelmed by Messi's extraordinary performances.
What Barcelona is experiencing today is such helplessness.
What can Barcelona do when Qin Xiong scores the goal that turned the tide around?
Qin Xiong used three different ways to break through Barcelona's defense.
Give him the chance to do ten more times, maybe he can only do it once or twice, but he did it that time and scored a very good goal.
Barcelona only sighed helplessly.
Fleet Street's comments about Guardiola are somewhat rocky.
"You say you don't agree with Liverpool's football philosophy, but don't you think Liverpool's four goals can stimulate the fans' senses the most when they score goals? It will make the fans feel the blood boiling, and Liverpool brings the speed and fast-paced impact of football to all audiences, unlike Barcelona, who are tired of the senses in a steady rhythm for a long time, and Liverpool's football philosophy is also very popular. ”
Pep Guardiola laughed at the Fleet Street reporter's remarks and didn't bother to answer them.
Each manager has his own position, representing his or her own philosophy of football, and he doesn't judge the differences between them on the merits of their philosophies, they just don't agree with them.
Moreover, as a loser at this time, he will definitely lose more than he says, which will bring him greater pressure on public opinion.
So he simply chose to remain silent.
When Coman attended the post-match press conference, the Spanish media frequently used words such as "utilitarian" and "ugly" to describe Liverpool's tactical play.
As the winner, Koeman did not have to go toe-to-toe with the Spanish media.
He simply commented on the game.
'Barcelona did a great job, put a lot of pressure on Liverpool, and were close to being overturned after we took the lead in the first leg, Barcelona were respectable opponents, but Liverpool had the last laugh and it was a great classic!' (To be continued.) )
