In the 35th minute of the game, Barcelona once again played a wonderful pass and control cooperation.

This time it was Messi's attack again.

With the ball on the right side, he faced Xia Xing directly.

During this time, Xia Xing basically stopped rushing forward, and participated in defense on the left and middle sides.

N'Golo Kante, who defended on the right and in the middle, guarded half the pitch each.

Now, he's facing Messi.

In fact, there were a lot of times when the two played against each other in the whole game.

However, Messi rarely chooses to force a breakthrough under normal circumstances.

On the one hand, teammates have better positions, and there is no need for individual heroism.

On the other hand, Xia Xing's defensive ability is obvious to all, and a few days ago, the Barcelona team conducted a careful analysis of Xia Xing's technical characteristics.

Especially the defensive ability.

So until now, it was the first 1VS1 heads-up between the two.

Xia Xing stood in front of Messi and blocked the direction of Messi's advance.

At this time, Messi has just passed through the midfield with the ball, and if he can pass the summer line, then he can be in the middle and on the side, and there will be more possibilities.

This time, Messi decided to go it alone!

The speed of the feet does not decrease, and the pace frequency increases!

And Xia Xing on the opposite side also has a stable center of gravity, closely following Messi.

Messi pulls the ball inward, then moves quickly to the right!

Xia Xing followed closely step by step, and was not thrown away by Messi!

After two consecutive feints to change direction, Messi failed to pass the summer trip.

At this time, Leicester City's lineup is tighter, and if this ball is not dealt with, Barcelona's attacking opportunity will be lost this time.

Thinking of this, Messi accelerated to the right front!

He made an incut with his left foot, but there was no incision!

Feints are super realistic!

He went straight along the touchline!

He used his speed to shake off Xia Xing!

Even Xia Xing, who is extremely fast and explosive, these two attributes are not as good as Messi!

Messi got past him!

But the moment he passed Xia Xing, Xia Xing suddenly exerted force to the right!

Speed is not good, but Lao Tzu's strength is top!

Xia Xing collided and knocked Messi out of the sideline!

Messi immediately got into the arms of the big camera brother on the side of the pitch!

The referee's whistle blows!

Xia Xing fouls!

It's a foul naturally, there's no doubt about it.

But fortunately, it's not a card-eating action.

Xia Xing quickly walked to the sideline and helped Messi up in a friendly manner: "Man, are you okay?" ”

Messi: "Xia, you're too ruthless, aren't you?" Knock me straight into the air......"

Xia Xing: "I saw a big brother with a camera on the sidelines, and I guess you're fine, so I can rest assured that I will boldly bump into you." ”

(The cameraman next to him has a death smile on his face...... ）

Lionel Messi: "Do you still have the energy to look at the sidelines when you're defending? Really? ”

Xia Xing: "It's fake, it's just polite to you!" ”

Messi: "I knew it! ”

Messi was speechless, and he pinched Xia Xing's shoulder: "I really didn't see that your core strength is so strong." ”

Xia Xing: "No, if Puyol is still in Barcelona, I guess I won't be able to hit him." ”

Messi: "I see you're getting excited......"

Although it was the first time for the two to deal with each other, the chat was quite interesting.

It's like a friend who's known each other for a long time.

The referee gave Barcelona a set-piece in front, but it was to no avail.

Barcelona now have only Suarez in front of them, and as a result, the Uruguayan is not very good at heading.

Alan Shearer, who was in the live broadcast room, nodded.

"Although Messi passed xia just now,

But Xia blocked Messi's progress with a foul,

"Even if you give a free-kick, it's nothing.

"It's better than letting Messi rush through.

Speaking of which, the confrontation between xia and Messi,

"Xia still won."

Carragher, who was next to him, glanced at him.

Alan Shearer: "What do you want to say?" ”

Carragher: "I'm not commenting until Barcelona don't equalize. ”

Alan Shearer: "Isn't it convenient to spray Leicester City?" ”

Carragher: "......"

The match between the two sides on the field continued.

In the 43rd minute of the game, Barcelona made a very random pass in the middle.

It seems, there don't seem to be many opportunities to attack, and there is no such thing as continuous passing.

But in an instant, Iniesta's ball was passed!

The ball goes straight to the left!

Neymar quickly stepped forward and stopped the ball in the penalty area!

Leicester captain Morgan was close to him, but still couldn't interfere with Neymar's stop!

And after stopping the ball, Neymar directly chose to shoot!

The ball is hoisted into the far post!

Absolute dead end!

"The ball is in!

"Barcelona pulled a goal back?

"It's too sudden, isn't it?

"Messi, who has been active just now, has attracted most of Leicester City's defensive attention,

"And Iniesta's pass went straight to the left wing, and Neymar's movement and stopping the ball was world-class!

"The final shot was also wonderful!

"Morgan didn't have time to make any interfering moves!

Schmeichel didn't even have time to jump!

"That's the power of a world-class player!

"1 to 2!

"Barcelona pulled a goal back!"

Excitedly, the Barcelona players held the ball and ran back to their own half.

It seemed that they were not willing to settle for the first half to stop at this scoreline.

There is still time, at least equalize!

It was the 44th minute of the game, with two minutes of stoppage time.

Leicester City controlled the ball in midfield and were ready to spend the rest of the time.

However, Mahrez and Drinkwater's passes were suddenly broken!

It's Sergio Busquets!

As Barcelona's midfield metronome, his defensive ability is unquestionable!

Being able to fill in any midfield partner's gaps is one of his characteristics!

This defense was very accurate!

Mahrez's pass was almost leaky, but it was cut off by him!

Decisive diagonal pass, the ball goes straight to the right front!

This time Barcelona did not go to the ground, but a long pass!

Busquets usually doesn't have many long ball opportunities, but that doesn't prove that he can't do it!

The pass went straight through Leicester's midfield line!

The Barcelona players, who walked on the ground throughout the game, actually came with a long pass this time!

The Leicester players didn't expect that their defence was chasing back in a panic!

Messi receives the ball in the corner of the box!

Suarez was in the middle of the box, but Messi didn't look like he was going to pass the ball!

He pulls the ball sideways and dodges the angle!

Huter quickly stepped forward and left-back Delaet also blocked the near corner!

But Messi still found a gap in the crowd!

Sudden cold arrows!

It's actually a pass!

In the opposite direction of Leicester's defensive center of gravity, the ball was lightly tucked into the penalty area!

Suarez just ran in the opposite direction and is not offside now!

Quickly cut forward and shoot at the ball!

"The ball hits the near corner!

"It's been a wonderful fit!

"Sergio Busquets's sudden pass was an unexpected change in the game!

"Messi's fake shot and real pass after receiving the ball broke through Leicester City's defense with one blow!

"Suarez's fatal blow equalized completely!

"2 to 2!

"Barcelona is finally back on the same page as Leicester City!"
