236 starts behind
The first kick-off was the Barcelona team in the red and blue striped shirt, and the leading striker Suarez passed the ball to Iniesta behind him, and ran forward with his head bored.
Iniesta won the ball and crossed the middle, Butskec immediately drove a long ball to the front, Suarez leaned on Sun Xiang to push the ball to the left, and Coutinho unloaded the ball steadily.
"Watch out for the right defender!" Koscielny shouted.
Bellerin on the right side is attracted to Suarez because Sun Xiang, so he still has to take care of the defense in the midfield, so Coutinho, a key gentleman, is a little out of position.
Coutinho didn't continue to pass the ball after holding the ball, and he found himself in front of him with enough space to gallop himself.
So he sped forward, and Bellerin followed behind. At this time, the theoretical absolute speed, or Arsenal's wing-backs are better.
The two men ran together for nearly 20 meters, and Coutinho found that not only could not get rid of the "tail", but the "tail" was getting tighter and tighter, and it seemed that it was not a good idea to continue dribbling the ball.
He quickly adjusted his strategy, stopped the ball at his feet and passed it to the middle without Bellerin interfering.
Messi has been paying attention to this movement from the beginning, although Xhaka is closely watching from the sidelines, but there is still no way to completely restrict this smart elf.
Messi received a pass from Coutinho, dodged the defense of Sun Xiang who came up from behind, and attracted a burst of cheers from Barcelona fans, and then found that there was a gap between the side and the middle, Monreal and Mustafi were a little too far apart, so Messi passed the ball between the two with a kick.
At the same time, Suarez cut in front of the middle and caught up with the step point and hit the goal directly.
Suarez !!! Koscielny's defense, a wonderful attack, Messi made a good pass. ”
Had it not been for Koscielny's late arrival from the sidelines, the Uruguayan striker's powerful shot would have threatened the Petr Cech goal.
"Defend and focus! Watch your position! ”
Koscielny pointed to his head and eyes, clearly unhappy with the leaks that had just appeared.
"The chemistry between Messi and Suarez is simply amazing, I don't see any communication between them at all, it's just a self-conscious cooperation." Martin Taylor said.
Missing a great opportunity, Suarez turned around and gave a thumbs up to Messi behind him, the ball was too well passed.
From the ensuing corner, Pique grabbed the first spot, but headed it high.
'In front of Arsene Wenger, Pique is tall enough and he can easily get on the ball. Alan Smith can't help but be worried about the height of Arsenal's backline, who lack a man who can really defend the air since Mertesacker's departure.
'If I were the next manager, I would probably buy a centre-back, like Gary Cahill from Chelsea, who has the body of a rugby player. And now he doesn't look happy at Chelsea. This may be a good choice. ”
Alan Smith's words would have been accepted if they had been told to Arsenal, who were in desperate need of a strong centre-back. At the same time, Gary Cahill is one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League before, and in the spirit of using practice rather than raw attitude, this is really possible.
It may be that Barcelona heard the words of these two commentators, and in the next few attacks, they all chose to play with wide crosses, and it worked.
Occasionally, he infiltrated the middle, and after being cleared by Arsenal, he regained possession of the ball in the center circle and began to advance on the side again, which made the game a one-man show for Barcelona in the opening stages. In fact, Arsenal did not have much to do, and they were certainly no match for Barcelona when it came to passing, with Valdés' side inheriting their usual style of passing, and the world-class midfielders undoubtedly brought their dominance to the pinnacle.

'Roberto passed to Messi, they've been passing like this for 10 minutes. Martin Taylor glanced at the timer, and Arsenal had only roughly 20 per cent possession so far.
Xhaka is still defending Messi, and that was the case before.
Coutinho went to the middle to receive the ball and Messi passed it to the Brazilian full-back with his heel.
"Coutinho ~ oh! Nice pass, Roberto got his chance! ”
Also with his heel, after receiving a pass from Messi, Coutinho also used a backheel to pass to Roberto, who quickly stepped forward on the wing. Three people made three passes to tear apart Arsenal's defense on the right flank.
Facing a large open field, Roberto had plenty of time to get the ball through.
"Find someone to go to the side! Don't miss people in the middle lane! 'Cech was on the lookout, standing at the near post ready to defend.
Sun Xiang quickly returned to the defense at this time, but when he was in place, Roberto had already passed the ball.
Unmarked, which is the best situation for a wide crosser, who can aim with ease.
The target of his pass was not in the middle of the box, but at Suarez, who was outflanked at the back post.
"He passed...... Suarez's shot! gooooal! Brilliant volley! ”
'He showed us his amazing finishing skills and Cech couldn't do anything about it.
Cech stood helplessly, disappointed, obviously an accidental but legitimately conceded goal. There was too much manpower in the defence, and Bellerin, who should have been eyeing Suarez on the right, went over to cover Sun Xiang's position, and it was with this that Suarez scored this wonderful goal.
'Suarez is excited because he understands what it means to score in a Champions League final, when in fact the last time they scored in a Champions League final was in 2015. It's hard to imagine that in the years that followed, the traditional giants didn't even make it to the Champions League final. ”
Suarez is still familiar with the celebration, kissing his wrist and his three fingers.
Someone asked Su Ya about the meaning of this action before. The world-class shooter laughed, "It's for my two children and my wife, and I love them. And he has been using this action to this day.
Although he is a "beast" on the field, biting people and viciously fouling, you have to admit that he is a good man, and he is loved by Barcelona fans because of this.
It was a goal that made the blood of Barcelona fans in France, and it was a goal early in the game, which at least would bring their team one step closer to the title. Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
