The first half of the two teams played a 0-0 draw, although both teams did play a good attack, but unfortunately they still have some problems in the handling of the final goal, although they are trying to impact the opponent's defense again and again, but both Arsenal and Barcelona still look a little unlucky.

Xiao Qing returned to the locker room, his performance in the first half of the game was very average, in such a world-focused battle, Xiao Qing's performance in the first half was not outstanding, even if there was a moment that seemed to be able to help the team, but Xiao Qing still lacked a decisive play in the game.

In the first half of the game, in fact, Messi on the opposite side did not have any outstanding performance; For Messi, he seems to be very close to the stadium in England, where he has scored very few goals, although he broke the embarrassing record of not scoring in England last season, but it is obvious that Messi is still difficult to score now, especially at the Emirates Stadium, he seems to be more affected.

Whether it is for Arsenal or Barcelona, the first half of the game was just a depressed draw, but for both teams must continue to stick to their own tactics, in the first half of the game they were actually able to create some good chances, what they need now is to continue to insist in the second half of the game, they need to show a more resolute attitude, so as to be able to ensure that they score in the second half of the game, so as to ensure the final victory in this peak duel.

It was quiet in the home team's dressing room, only Arsene Wenger kept talking about the team's tactics, and only he made some demands on the players from time to time; As for the players. Panting and wiping sweat. It's also constantly thinking about the performance of the first half. The second half was big for Arsenal. In fact, relatively speaking, even if the first half of the game was a dull draw, it was acceptable for Arsenal, as long as they did not concede goals at home, then the result of this game was favorable for Arsenal.

The Gunners now seem to have a new option, and it would be nice to be able to score in the second half, but if Arsenal continue to be unable to play the tactics they want in the second half, it doesn't matter, as long as they don't concede a goal.

There are a lot of home and away fixtures that dictate that the team that plays home first is a bit passive, and they need to be affected by the score of the first leg. They have to be away from home to decide the outcome of the game, so it will certainly be relatively disadvantageous. And if Arsenal can play 0-0 in the first leg, then the pressure seems to be more on Barcelona's side, because in the second leg at Camp Nou, they really don't necessarily have any advantage.

Although Arsenal will also strengthen some defenses in a targeted manner, Arsenal's players also understand it at this time; If the team can't play a quality attack in the second half, then the rhythm of the game will be completely controlled by Barcelona, and what Arsenal need now is to play a certain attack, they must maintain a certain intensity in attack. Because Arsenal is a team that is good at attacking, it is also because they have to use the attack to contain Barcelona.

In the second half, it was easy to play again. Both teams didn't have any roster changes; Although it was a bit surprising that neither attacking team scored in the first half, it was also a surprise for both teams to see hope for more goals in the stormy defence of their opponents. They believe that if they continue to work hard in the second half, they may be able to score and both teams will be hoping to win in the second half!

Barcelona and Arsenal started the second half of the game with a more intense and resolute attacking attitude, especially for Barcelona, if they can't score away from home, if Arsenal is allowed to regain the initiative in the two-legged decisive battle at this time, it is really not good news for Barcelona.

Barcelona need to play better attacking now, they need to take away away goals; Especially for Messi, he is really unwilling to be positioned as a player second only to Xiao Qing in such a critical game, so of course he can't just be suppressed by Xiao Qing again and again in such a critical game, he must show a decisive performance in such an important game.

Messi is now starting to step up his individual attack, and he needs to start stepping up his performance at this time; In the face of Arsenal's relatively weak defense, Messi naturally can't back down at this time, although he is very uncomfortable in the stadium in England, and he does not seem to have too good memories here. But for such top players, what they need is to withstand the pressure and perform better in the face of difficulties.

Barcelona began to step up their attack, and in the 47th minute, Messi shot wide from distance after a strong burst. Four minutes later, Vermaelen received a yellow card for a tactical foul on Messi, who took a free-kick from 25 yards and fired his left-footed shot high over the lintel. At the beginning of the second half of the game, Barcelona was on the offensive, especially Messi, and he began to perform more individually, which is naturally what Barcelona wants to see.

Xiao Qing is also excited, Messi's performance is very eye-catching now, at this time, Xiao Qing naturally will not only let Messi perform at this time; Xiao Qing is the first person on active duty, and he doesn't think that anyone can threaten his position. Maybe Messi is really good now, and he even has a performance on the pitch that is not inferior to Xiao Qing; But Xiao Qing is confident that he can help the team achieve the final victory, and it is also because Xiao Qing can achieve a decisive performance in such a crucial game.

In the 55th minute of the game, Walcott crossed from the right, and Xiao Qing volleyed directly with his right foot on the line of the big penalty area; The heavy bombardment of the outside instep of the door, Xiao Qing is full of confidence, and he is now very sure of such a difficult shot. Although the quality of Xiao Qing's shot is very good, Xiao Qing's shot is too positive, although it is also full of power, but Barcelona goalkeeper Valdés still safely chose to knock the ball out of the penalty area.

The atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium is getting more and more enthusiastic, and Xiao Qing is beginning to exert his power at this time, which is also to prove that the absolute core of Arsenal has a stronger fighting spirit in this game; For Arsenal fans, they have almost blind trust in the current Xiao Qing, because they know that Xiao Qing will definitely be able to help the team win the game; It's the same now, as Barcelona are good, the winner will only be Arsenal.

Xiao Qing and Messi have started to exert their strength in this one, which is of course the happiest for those media and neutral fans; In the knockout rounds of the Champions League, old rivals, giants talking, and top stars are all gimmicks that attract the attention of fans.

Now that Barcelona and Arsenal have collided with the two top giants, they have met in the knockout round for three consecutive seasons, coupled with the duel between the best players in the current service, it can be said that this Champions League knockout game is still very attractive; Now that it has entered the second half, the two teams have begun to exert their strength one after another, and Xiao Qing and Messi's performance at this time is also becoming more and more active. Although both teams played a good offensive in the first half of the game, it is obvious that the second half of the game is undoubtedly more exciting, and the duel between Xiao Qing and Messi is also more worth looking forward to.

When Arsenal and Barcelona are looking to be able to perform in attack, it is natural that they need to strengthen their control of the pace of the game at this time; It was also at this time that the two teams that were good at controlling the ball were engaged in a more fierce battle in the midfield, because they knew that once they mastered the midfield, the rhythm of the game could basically be controlled.

Xiao Qing didn't care that he was more of a tactical bait in this game, he played a good attack in the game-for-tat, at this time Barcelona naturally needed to be afraid of Xiao Qing's offensive, and they had to choose to retreat slightly at this time. And this is the more successful side of Arsenal's tactics, using Xiao Qing's containment, Arsenal also has more tactical options at this time.

A draw at home and then preparation for the second leg at Camp Nou would also be a good option for Arsenal, where the pressure would be more on Barca. Now Arsenal has a good chance, because it is difficult for Barcelona to get up at this time, because Arsenal is very calm and immediately attacked when Barcelona's attack has just improved. Maybe this game looks lively, and the two teams are indeed able to play a good attack, but now this game is gradually returning to flat, because Arsenal's tactical intentions are obvious, and the current Barcelona is really powerless, because they are dragged down by Arsenal's rogue tactics.

The goal shootout that fans were expecting did not come, and even because Arsenal deliberately suppressed the rhythm of the game in this game, there were not too many dangerous and wonderful attacks in the second half of the game. At the Emirates Stadium, the much-anticipated Champions League quarter-finals were only 0-0, something that no one expected, and the two most attacking teams did not score, which has to be said to be a big surprise.

For Arsenal, it's also very good to be 0-0 and it's one of the good situations they are looking for. (To be continued......)
