'Just 11 minutes into the game, Pique fell and injured himself in a header duel with Costa, and Barcelona had to use up their first substitution, and they replaced Pique with Baltra, which was a big blow for Barcelona.

Pique's unexpected injury sent off the pitch caused a full boo at the Camp Nou, and Barcelona fans believed that Costa deliberately injured Pique.

In fact, Atletico Madrid is a little happy, because Pique is definitely the pillar of Barcelona's backline, or the first high point of the back, Pique was beaten, then at least Atletico Madrid will have more advantages in high ball.

But Atletico didn't rejoice for long, and their side suffered the same blow.

In the 23rd minute, Barcelona's attack was fruitless, Atletico Madrid intended to launch a quick counterattack, Miranda passed the ball to Costa, Costa immediately launched a counterattack with the ball, but he limped to a stop after running two steps, and covered the back of his right thigh with his hand.

"Costa is clutching his thigh, which he probably strained, which is not good news."

"This Champions League civil war is probably an injury battle, before the game started, Barcelona's main goalkeeper Valdés has been injured, and now the game has officially started less than half an hour, and both sides have an absolute main injury to the field."

Costa's unexpected injury forced Simeone to put Adrian on the pitch to partner Ringer.

One player from each side went off injured, but the game still had to go on.

After the game restarted, Atletico Madrid continued to block Barcelona's attack with crazy pressing according to the pre-match arrangement.

Atletico Madrid's defense was very tight, making Barcelona helpless, but after Costa went off, the counter-attacking efficiency of Atletico Madrid's side also decreased greatly.

Although Costa is ugly and has all kinds of bad habits of playing football, his impact is definitely very good, when he is there, Ringer is much less oppressive on the field, and now that Costa is off the field, Adrian has no ability to play the main force in the Champions League, and Barcelona can defend him more targetedly.

And Barcelona fouls are also a lot of fouls, Martino said before the game: "Atletico Madrid's biggest characteristic is the style of play, so to deal with them, we must also increase the intensity of the confrontation accordingly, as long as we can do this, then you can win the game." ”

Obviously, Barcelona did this very well, with Atletico having committed 10 fouls at the end of the first half, compared to eight.

Atletico Madrid's fouls only need to be sent to Messi and Neymar, and Barcelona's fouls are mainly for Ringer.

In such circumstances, neither side could find the back of the net in the first half.

"The biggest attraction of the whole first half is probably the successive injuries of Pique and Costa, I don't know what their injuries are, whether it will affect the next leg of the game. At present, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are also the most favorable contenders for the La Liga title, and every injury to each of their players will have a huge impact on the competition for the league title. "That's the half-time summary of the Spanish commentary.

At half-time, Simeone said: "Diego [Costa's] injury was an accident, we didn't have the offensive effect we should have in the first half, but we defended well, in the second half we had to pay more attention to the defense, we can accept a small loss." ”

Simeone's original arrangement, the whole team in the first half of the whole court crazy pressing, try to find a way to get away goals, and then in the second half after the physical strength dropped, he went all out to defend.

But plans never change as fast as they come, with Simeone's deployment disrupted by Costa's injury in the first half, and Atletico's attacking firepower dropped significantly, making it easier for Barcelona to deal with it, making it impossible for Atletico to find the back of the net.

Fortunately, the team's defense did a good job and failed to allow Barcelona to find opportunities, but Atletico Madrid's physical strength was consumed a lot, so Simeone lowered the requirements, even if it was a small loss, it was acceptable.

At the beginning of the second half, Atletico Madrid still defended with a pressing, but now the pressing is more in the own half, because the full-court pressing in the first half does make the players physically exhausted.

In this situation, Barcelona's offensive has clearly become high, with Juanfran and Alda Turan both receiving yellow cards.

But there are a lot of times when there are unexpected surprises on the pitch.

In the 58th minute, Atletico Madrid had a normal counter-attacking opportunity, and the opponent was almost defending, Koke brought the ball to the midfield, and then over-gave Ringer a little forward to the feet.

Ringer received the ball 30 yards from goal, and Barcelona didn't even pay attention to it so far to come and press him.

Ringer saw that there was no one around him for the time being, and the Barcelona defenders were waiting for him at the edge of the penalty area, and Ringer did not plan to take the ball over to impact their iron wall, but just took a step on the ball, adjusted the step point, raised his right leg high, swung his leg down with all his might, and hit the ball with a solid kick.

"Lin, he's far away from the outside of the penalty area~~~ and shoots from a distance?!!"

The ball flew off with the full force of Ringer's right leg, drawing a slight arc in the air, bypassing the head of a Barcelona defender and heading directly towards the top right corner of the goal.

Although Ringer's shot was full of power and fast ball, after all, it was far from the goal, and Barcelona's old goalkeeper Pinto immediately made a save.

He noticed Ringer's long shot, and immediately took off in the direction and flew towards the upper right corner of the goal, but when he flew to the highest point, he found that his palm still had a small area in the corner that could not be covered, which was the corner of the goal, but the ball was running towards this area.

Pinto was desperate at this point, the ball went around his palm and slammed into the goal, and even in the falling air, Pinto could faintly hear the sound of the ball rubbing against the net coming from the back of his head.

“Goooooool~~~~”

"World Wave~~~ Incredible World Wave!!"

"The long-range shot world wave 30 meters away from the goal~~~ Lin He succeeded~~~ The ball hung in the dead corner~~~ This is an unsolvable world wave!!"

"Lin~~~Lingoal~~ It was he who stepped up again and helped the Sheets take the lead and take an away goal lead!!"

Ringer knows that he has been in good form recently, and has remained above 85 points for a long time, so this time the opponent gave him a comfortable long-range shot.

I just went in now.

"Well done~~~ Beautiful!!" The moment the ball flew into the goal, Simeone immediately threw his fist and shouted.

With that away goal in mind, Simeone felt it was quite a big chance to get out of Camp Nou today.

At the moment of Ringer's goal, Costa, who was sitting on the sidelines with a change of clothes, also limped out to celebrate, and everyone in Atletico Madrid knew the importance of this goal.

"Ringer~~~ Ringer he once again broke through Barcelona's goal, this is a long-range shot 33 meters from the goal, this is still a crucial away goal, in the case of Costa injured shortly after the opening, Ringer stood up and said no to Barcelona, he is telling the world, Atletico Madrid no one can do it, just can't do without him Ringer!" The domestic commentators are directly creating a personality cult for him.

Amid the huge boos at Camp Nou, the whole Atletico team finally ended their celebrations and the game had to start again.

Barcelona quickly used a second substitution, Sanchez came on to replace Cesc Fabregas, let Iniesta go back to play in midfield, Sanchez and Messi and Neymar formed a forward trident.

Xiaofa really didn't show much in this game, and it was normal to replace him.

As soon as Sanchez came on the field, the new firepower point quickly made Barcelona's attacking flames burn, and the whole Atletico team had to retreat and defend desperately.

In the 63rd minute, Iniesta's long-range shot from outside the box was saved sideways by Courtois.

In the 67th minute, Messi made a direct pass, and the new Sanchez hit the goal in the penalty area, and Godin arrived in time to block the ball.

Simeone saw that the opponent's attack was getting more and more fierce, and soon brought Argentine midfielder Jose Sosa on the field to replace Adrian, and let Sosa help the team defend.

Adrian came on as a substitute for Costa in this game, but he basically did not perform in this half of the game.

Soon, the situation that Simeone didn't want to see came up again.

In the 70th minute, Alda Turan collided with the opposing Busquets in a scramble, and then took the initiative to take the ball off.

'Alda Turan is also injured, this is the third player to be injured in this game, and this game is really an injury battle, with players from both sides taking turns to be injured.

Simeone had to bring on Uruguayan Christian Rodriguez, and Atletico ran out of three substitutions, two of which were due to injuries.

Atletico Madrid due to the first half's pressing physical exertion, at this time there was some lack of follow-up, Ringer also had to return to the backfield, help in front of the penalty area to keep sweeping, directly as a defensive midfielder.

Even so, in the 76th minute, Barcelona scored a goal.

Andres Iniesta's scalpel-like through ball from the left side of the penalty area penetrated the defence, Neymar followed up quickly, Miranda rushed up to intercept but was a step too late, and Neymar pushed the far corner into the net early.

Simeone shook his head on the sidelines, but he didn't have anything to say, Miranda was obviously lacking in physical strength, so he was slow to take this step.

Barcelona also found that Atletico Madrid lacked physical strength and began to launch a frenzied attack.

Fortunately, Atletico also had Courtois, who flew in the last 10 minutes to save Messi's two shots, and finally did not allow Barcelona to score again.

"At the end of the game, Atletico Madrid relied on Ringer's long-range shot to draw 1:1 with Barcelona away, which was a very good result for Atletico Madrid, who drew away from home and also scored away goals, and Atletico Madrid temporarily took the lead in the two-legged knockout round."

"Congratulations to Atletico Madrid, congratulations to Ringer!" In the commentary of Yang Ma, this La Liga civil war ended the first leg.

There is still a chapter owed, and it will be made up as soon as possible.
