This much-anticipated contest, with the referee's whistle, the game began!

Barcelona kicked off first, and they didn't hesitate to attack!

The continuous cooperation of several players in the midfield, six one-foot passes, is very exquisite.

Eventually, the ball was handed to Suarez.

The Uruguayan striker takes the ball with his back, turns and shoots!

This time the shot on the penalty line was very threatening!

However, De Gea was ready, made a decisive save and held the ball firmly.

Barcelona's first attack came to naught.

However, with this attack, Barcelona sent a firm signal.

This game is going to be onslaught!

To win!

Then, their attack was like a wave, and they completely took the initiative in the opening stages.

In the 5th minute of the game, the ball came to the left wing.

This time, Barcelona did not continue the pass-and-control football just now, and suddenly sped up!

After receiving the ball, left forward Dembele sprinted with the ball decisively!

Manchester United's defence is in turmoil!

You must know that in the current Barcelona team, Dembele's dribbling ability is definitely in the top three!

Right-back Valencia stepped up, but Dembele went straight to acceleration and passed Valencia!

This time, he relied purely on his young body and completely threw off Valencia!

Phil Jones made a quick grab, but still couldn't keep up with Dembele's pace!

Make a decisive tackle on the edge of the penalty area!

Dembele forced his foot to shoot and staggered!

The ball went wide and towards the stands.

Although Phil Jones' tackle did not prevent the shot, it still interfered with Dembele, and Barcelona's second shot was in vain.

But De Gea broke out in a cold sweat.

He shouted at Phil Jones.

"Hey!"

Didn't go any further.

Phil Jones looked over and De Gea's eyes spoke again.

Dude, are you going to give them a penalty?

Phil Jones hurriedly waved his hand.

Mine mine, next time I'll pay attention.

Time continues, Barça's attack continues.

Although Barcelona is in a 4-3-3 formation this time, Paulinho's position is slightly delayed, which can be regarded as a shadow striker.

The little-known Brazilian midfielder did not have a particularly dazzling resume before joining Barcelona.

Landing at Tottenham from South America can only be regarded as a second-rate player in the Premier League.

After that, he joined the Chinese Super League team, became the core of the team, and helped the team win the AFC Champions League.

But even such an honor is not enough in front of the European giants.

An AFC Champions League title is not even as valuable as a Europa League in the eyes of European clubs.

That is, the level of the UEFA Europa League.

But last summer, Barcelona went so far as to bring in Paulinho for 40 million euros.

This has taken many fans by surprise.

However, from the beginning of the league, Paulinho has shown a super high competitive form.

And sat firmly in the position of Barcelona's main force.

So far this season, he has scored six goals and provided three assists.

In addition, his usefulness is even more obvious in the team's tactical coordination.

Barcelona, which has always been technical and lacks physical confrontation, has added a lot of hardness to the team with the addition of Paulinho.

The same is true today.

In the 10th minute of the game, Barcelona's frontcourt coordination suddenly had problems.

Pogba broke the ball with his foot, so that Umtiti's through plug was directly broken!

Just as Nemanja Matic rushed towards the ball, Paulinho rushed too!

He was faster and got the ball first!

But Matic also arrived, and the two crashed into each other!

Paulinho didn't fall to the ground, he still had the ball!

With the force of the collision, Paulinho accelerated with the ball and rushed to the Manchester United goal!

About 30 meters away from the goal, Paulinho suddenly got up!

A Kick Shot!

The once famous "violent bird" of Huachao reappeared in the rivers and lakes!

De Gea waited for the ball to fly quickly, and instead of making a save, he struck it with both fists!

The ball fell at the feet of Valencia!

This time he made no mistake!

A long pass, looking for the midfielder's Xia Xing!

In the 10th minute of the game, Manchester United finally launched its first attack!

Xia Xing, who had just retreated to defend in the midfield, received the ball accurately!

In the face of Rakitic's grab, he turned and pulled the ball, dodged the defense, and quickly stepped forward!

Two actions in a row, simply and neatly, directly past the other party!

Butzkes on the grab!

Xia Xing changed direction continuously, and suddenly accelerated and rushed to the left front!

Butzkes has also been overcome!

Xia Xing rushed to the vicinity of the Barcelona penalty area!

At this time, Umtiti quickly rushed up and blocked Xia Xing's shooting route!

You must know that this position is Xia Xing's golden shooting angle!

The Barcelona defenders know it well!

However, Xia Xing did not choose to shoot, but passed directly diagonally to the far end!

Sanchez sprints quickly and receives a cross near the baseline!

Romelu Lukaku jumps to the header!

This time he got the ball in front of Pique!

Header hits the goal!

The ball goes straight to the corner!

Ter Stegen bounces quickly and pokes the ball out of the sideline with his fingertips!

Barcelona escaped!

A wonderful save from the German goalkeeper to keep the goal open!

However, this shot made the Barcelona defense break out in a cold sweat.

The Barcelona fans in the stands also exclaimed.

Only now did they realize that this opponent was not easy to deal with.

And after a burst of exclamations from Barcelona fans, the visiting team's fan camp applauded!

After being suppressed in the opening period, they suddenly launched a fierce attack and almost broke the goal!

Listening to the applause in the stands, Lukaku was a little regretful.

'It's a shame that we almost scored.'

Sanchez, who was beside him, patted him on the shoulder.

Although he did not speak, he was comforted by this.

Lukaku also understands that this is already quite an expression of kindness for this non-talkative team-mate.

Ashley Young ran to the corner flag area and prepared to take the penalty.

At this time, Smalling, Phil Jones and other defensive players came up.

Nemanja Matic and Pogba are also in the box.

Barcelona's Pique, Umtiti and Sergio Busquets are on the lookout.

Xia Xing was not in the penalty area, he was waiting for the second point outside the penalty area.

Ashley Young takes a corner!

High ball, straight to the center of the penalty area!

The ball is headed in by Pogba!

It's a great deal!

The ball slides out of the goal!

It's just a little bit worse again!

There was another exclamation from the stands.

Barcelona fans couldn't sit still.

Mourinho on the sidelines of the pitch applauded hard, his face beaming with joy.

Before this game, it seemed that the whole world was betting on Barcelona to win.

In the odds list, Barcelona's promotion also seems to be deserved.

But Mourinho doesn't believe in evil!

At Camp Nou, we are not without attacking quality!

As long as you dare to press hard, we can play such an effective fast attack!

Once we get an away goal, then we Manchester United have one foot in the Champions League!

Thinking of this, Mourinho was even more excited.

He came to the sidelines, clapped vigorously and cheered on his players!

Lads!

Come on!

Kill these guys!

Manchester United must win! (End of chapter)
