The scene was in an uproar, and the fans on both sides couldn't help but get worried, and one by one stood on tiptoe to look at the field.

Both were seriously injured, Pique's injuries were more serious, he fell to the ground and lost consciousness directly, Kompany had obvious blood on his head, and he struggled to get up, but he was a little unsteady.

The referee quickly called the team doctor to the field for treatment, and Barcelona's team doctor flashlight glanced at Pique's pupils, and after calling loudly in his ear a few times without responding, he called an ambulance with a serious expression, transferred Pique to the ambulance and immediately sent him out of the stadium, ready to send him to a large hospital for treatment.

This unexpected change of events was beyond the expectations of everyone on the scene, seeing that their teammates were seriously injured and sent away by ambulances, the Barcelona players were concerned and their mentality was inevitably affected.

Pique's injury worried Barcelona fans, and the live camera showed the coach of the Spanish national team who came to Camp Nou to watch the game.

Bosque's expression looked very serious, the World Cup was about to start and Pique was Spain's main centre-back.

He was injured and it was a big blow for Spain.

Barcelona quickly made a substitution, bringing on Marc Bartra to replace Pique, who was injured and unable to play.

Manuel Pellegrini was also ready for a substitution, with Vincent Kompany diagnosed with a concussion and the team doctor deemed him unfit to continue playing.

But Kompany, after a little rest on the sidelines, said he could still hold on!

In such an important game, as the captain, he didn't want to run away.

"Vincent, are you sure you still have to hold on?"

Manuel Pellegrini once again confirmed to the opposition that the match against Barcelona was not a decisive one.

Even if they lose this one, they still have a chance when they return to their home stadium.

But if Kompany comes on with an injury and aggravates his injury, he probably won't be able to make it to the next game.

"Yes, coach, I don't want to go back to Manchester with regrets!"

Kompany was resolute and feared that his team would lose.

"Captain, you can rest in peace, with us here, we will never let your efforts be in vain!"

At this moment, Lin Quan and others appeared on the sidelines and dissuaded Kompany.

"Captain, don't you believe us?"

De Bruyne saw that Kompany was still hesitating, and a soul torture made Kompany completely shut up.

If Kompany persists, it will be a distrust of his teammates.

So after hearing De Bruyne's words, he finally stopped insisting.

Lin Quan gave De Bruyne a thumbs up, sure enough, the Belgians know how to persuade the Belgians!

City brought on Lescott to replace the injured Kompany.

As the game continued, Pique's injury scared players on both sides, and the physical confrontation was not as intense as before.

The intensity of the physical confrontation and the number of fouls were reduced, which was good news for technical players, such as Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Neymar.

Seeing that Kolarov had a yellow card on his back, Barcelona specifically stepped up their attack on the left side of Manchester City.

With the support of his teammates, Neymar's performance on the field gradually became active.

In the 71st minute, Neymar used a gorgeous pass to trick Manchester City's left-back Kolarov and burst into the penalty area.

Unfortunately, before he could shoot, Lescott broke the ball at his feet and went off the line.

Barcelona took a tactical corner and again hit the ball to the right and handed it to Neymar's feet.

Aware of Neymar's threat, Kloste ran over to help defend.

However, Neymar seemed to be putting on a show, under the pressure of Kroos and Kolarov, he stepped on the ball with his foot with his back to the goal, dodged Kroos's pressing, pulled back half a step, and then handed the ball from his right foot to his left foot, and flicked the ball with his left foot as if to go to the middle.

This feint deceived Kolarov, who did not suspect that he had started to move into the middle.

However, Neymar put the ball on his right foot with his left foot and turned around.

This series of movements is completed in an instant, and it is smooth as if playing acrobatics.

City's two defenders have all lost their positions, and Neymar has a smooth road ahead.

However, just as Neymar was about to accelerate into the penalty area, a blue figure pounced from the side and shoveled him to the ground.

Neymar immediately dived into the box and rolled on the ground holding his feet.

After the tackle, Lin Quan didn't leave, just stood aside and watched Neymar roll on the ground.

He took his foot when he made a tackle, and it definitely didn't hurt Neymar, this guy was obviously acting.

However, Kupels was deceived by Neymar's performance, his whistle sounded as soon as he went, ran over to show Lin Quan a yellow card, and awarded Barcelona a free kick.

Lin Quan had no objection to this penalty, he just went for a foul.

Although Neymar has an element of performance, Lin Quan's foot did kick him.

If Neymar is allowed to burst into the penalty area just now, it will be a very dangerous one-on-one knife.

The Barcelona players rushed up, but instead of coming to besiege Lin Quan, they protested to the referee, thinking that it should be a penalty.

Kupels ignored the protests of the Barcelona players and insisted on his decision, although Neymar fell in the box, he could clearly see that Lin Quan's foul happened outside the box, so it was not a penalty.

Barcelona protested to no avail, and gave up continuing to surround the referee, after all, the referee's law enforcement scale is obvious to everyone, if it annoys him and gets a yellow card, it will be more than worth the loss.

Messi stood in front of the free-kick, he glanced at the goalkeeper's position, ran and then hit the goal with his feet.

Unfortunately, this kick failed to cross the human wall, and the ball hit the human wall and bounced out.

The Barcelona players in the rear rushed to the landing point for the first time, but there was one person who was faster than them!

Because of his height, Lin Quan did not go to the wall, but wandered around the periphery of the penalty area to see if he could find a chance to counterattack.

Now, here's your chance!

Before Xavi, Lin Quan received the ball.

He flicked the ball to his left side, split it and dodged Xavi's interception.

Sergio Aguero and David Silva saw Lin Quan grab the ball and began to sprint towards Barcelona's half.

Manchester City's counterattack is here again!

"Stop him!"

Martino bounced up from his seat in fright the moment Lin Quan grabbed the ball.

City were very dangerous on the counter-attack today and have already scored two goals with such a quick counter-attack.

If they are allowed in again this time, then Barcelona is afraid that it will be more than lucky!

While Busquez quickly retreated, he used his brain to think about how to defend is the best solution.

"Stop Lin with me!"

He quickly made a choice and beckoned Mascherano to pounce on Lin Quan with him.

He had already tried one-on-one defense, but he couldn't stop Lin Quan at all, so this time he simply called a helper to come up and wrap Lin Quan together.

Even if you can't stop it, as long as you can slow down Manchester City's counterattack and buy time for your teammates to settle down and defend, it will be considered a success!

The scramble of Mascherano and Busquez left Barca's right wing completely empty.

It's not that they make a mistake, it's that the wide players don't pose as much of a threat to the goal as the middle.

If Lin Quan is allowed to break through with the ball in the middle, then he can shoot directly with his feet.

But if he is forced to move the ball to the wing, the Manchester City players will have to cross or cut inside to threaten the Barcelona goal.

And this will prolong their attacking time and give Barcelona more time to organise their defence.

Moreover, as long as Lin Quan is stared at and he is not given the last chance to play, the threat of other Manchester City players will be much less.

Seeing that Mascherano and Buskes both pounced on him, Lin Quan immediately guessed their intentions.

Want to force yourself to pass the ball and then stare yourself without giving yourself a chance to catch the ball and shoot?

Barcelona also have left wing-back Jordi Alba and centre-back Baltra, who has just been on the pitch for a short time.

If Lin Quan wants to pass the ball, he can only pass to left winger David Silva, because Alves has assisted before, and he has not had time to come back, and this side is empty.

If you really pass the ball to Silva, I'm afraid you will be in the hands of the opponent!

With Alves' speed, even if he doesn't catch up with Silva at the moment, I'm afraid it's not far off.

Even if Alves didn't catch up with him, with Busquez, Mascherano and Bartra in the middle, he couldn't cut inside and shoot inside, leaving only the option of dribbling down the ball.

If David Silva had crossed with the ball, Barcelona would have at least three defenders in the box, while Manchester City would have been at a disadvantage.

Busquets, is this your choice?

What if I don't go the way you envisioned?

Lin Quan didn't try to get rid of them, and the success rate of one-on-one passing is very high, but one-on-two, the success rate will be much lower.

This counterattack opportunity is very precious, and it may not appear a few times in a whole game, and if you fail to pass yourself, then such an opportunity will be wasted.

Lin Quan chose to pass!

Seeing Lin Quan's choice, Busquets breathed a sigh of relief in his heart!

Sure enough, it was still a pass, so this ball should be ...... What? Lin actually sent it back?

Busquets thought that Lin Quan would pass the ball to David Silva according to his own speculation, but to his surprise, Lin Quan did not choose to pass the ball forward, but passed the ball back.

Is this an abandonment of this offense?

No, absolutely not!

Busquets looked in the direction of Lin Quan's pass, and saw that the ball was received by a young player with blond hair and a face that looked a little green and shy.

The jersey number on the opponent's body is 12, and seeing this number, Professor Bu's mind immediately flashed the other party's information:

De Bruyne, a Belgian, born in 1991, is good at passing assists, was the assist king of the Bundesliga, broke the assist record in the Bundesliga, and was an attacking midfielder that Manchester City introduced at a cost of 20 million euros during the winter break.

Could it be that Lin Quan passed the ball to De Bruyne, intending to rely on De Bruyne's pass to penetrate Barcelona's defense?

How is this possible?

Busquets didn't intercept De Bruyne, he handed over the job to his team-mates, while he continued to stare at Lin Quan, and consciously blocked Lin Quan's receiving lane.

Lin Quan didn't care about Busquets, after his own pass, he quickly followed the middle towards Barcelona's penalty area, he believed that De Bruyne must have a way to get the ball to his feet!

The reason is simple, because his name is De Bruyne!

At this time, although Ding Ding was not the world's No. 1 midfielder in later generations, Lin Quan knew that what he lacked was experience, not ability.

Because he sat on the cold bench at Chelsea for half a season in the first half of the season, the outside world generally underestimated his strength, and I don't know how terrifying Tintin's passing is.

So when I saw this picture on the field, everyone was puzzled.

Lin Quan was surrounded by Mascherano and Sergio Busquets, with Bartra intercepting him right ahead.

He's caught in the trap of a Barcelona player, can the ball still be passed?

"Oops, Lin Quan's choice of this goal is debatable, and passing to David Silva on the left seems to be a better choice!"

"That's right, if Lin Quan passes to Silva, David Silva can dribble the ball to the bottom, and Lin Quan and Aguero in the middle can also form a double ghost shot.

When David Silva passed the ball to the middle, both of them had a chance to shoot, but he passed the ball back to De Bruyne, and if De Bruyne passed to Silva at this time, it would be too much time to waste, and the defense on Barcelona's side must have been in place! ”

"Yes, if Manchester City's attack wants to be completed at this time, we can only hope that De Bruyne will send the ball to the feet of Lin Quan or Aguero, but under the interception of three Barcelona defenders, this kind of pass, I'm afraid only God can complete it!"

On the commentary seat, after seeing Lin Quan's choice, He Wei and Xu Yang both felt a little regretful.

The ball was not handled well, and it was a bit of a pity that this counterattack was a chance.

Barcelona fans were relieved to see Lin Quan pass back.

When the Manchester City players attacked in a big way just now, that posture really scared them!

Fortunately, the attacking threat of the opposition was defused, and it was Barcelona's turn to attack.

On the sidelines, Martino patted his chest gently.

Fortunately, there is a needle in the team like Sergio Busquets, and if he hadn't made the most correct choice, this time would have been really dangerous.

Although Lin Quan and Aguero have already run to the front of the Barcelona penalty area at this time, the closer they get to the penalty area, the less threatening they are, because the space for activity is small!

Give up, this attack of yours will not be able to penetrate our defenses!

The Barcelona players and fans were so relieved that they couldn't help but ridicule.

However, Lin Quan didn't seem to give up yet, not only did he not slow down, but continued to accelerate and rush forward.

Now is the time!

Although Lin Quan did not look back, he was sure that De Bruyne would pass the ball at this moment!

Sure enough, just when everyone was not optimistic about City's counterattack, De Bruyne passed the ball.

"Hehe, Busquets has taken a good position, how can this ball be handed to Lin Quan's feet?"

"Manchester City are giving us the ball to Barcelona!"

"As soon as we get the ball, we can start a counterattack!"

"Hey, the players of Manchester City have rushed out, their backline is a lot empty, and if you play a quick counterattack at this time, it will be a dozen and a half!"

With Messi and Neymar present, Barcelona are not only good at positional battles, they can also play extremely fast counter-attacks.

Barcelona fans have begun to fantasize in their hearts that after Messi got the ball, he passed five levels and cut six generals, broke into the penalty area all the way, and sent the ball into the Manchester City goal!

However, they soon couldn't laugh anymore!

Because the ball passed by De Bruyne actually completed the turn against the lawn, bypassed Busquets's interception, and came to Lin Quan impartially!

Is this, is this really possible?

The Barcelona fans were frightened one by one and looked at the stadium dumbfounded.

And the Manchester City fans hugged each other excitedly!

Here it is, De Bruyne's iconic 45-degree diagonal cross!

Lin Quan easily received the ball, shook off Baltra and then passed the goalkeeper who fell out, and sent the ball into the Barcelona goal.

3:2!

Manchester City reversed Barcelona away from home!

After the goal, Lin Quan pointed at De Bruyne and rushed towards the opponent.

De Bruyne smiled and spread his arms, waiting to hug Lin Quan in celebration.

But he never thought that Lin Quan jumped high and jumped on top of him.

De Bruyne was caught off guard and was immediately crushed to the ground, and both fell to the lawn!

"Well passed, Ding Ding!"

"Hey, I think so too!"

The two only had time to say a few words before they were surrounded by a swarm of teammates.

The players of Manchester City were all excited, screamed and pounced, and pressed on the two of them to celebrate wildly!

If the opening goal was just a morale boost, now, in the 75th minute of the game, Lin Quan's goal gave them the dawn of victory.

With a maximum of 20 minutes left in stoppage time, as long as they hold on to those last 20 minutes, they can leave Camp Nou with their heads held high!

On the bench, Manchester City's coaching staff and substitutes were all boiling at the moment when Lin Quan scored.

Pellegrini clenched his fists excitedly and waved them, then hugged and celebrated with his colleagues one by one.

Because he was so excited, he even thought that the fourth official was a staff member of Manchester City, and he almost hugged the other party.

On the other hand, on the Barcelona side, at the moment when Lin Quan scored the ball, everyone on the bench, including Martino, fell into silence.

Falling behind again!

Barcelona once again fell behind Manchester City, who were despised by them before the game, at their home stadium!

What a wealthy family, what a heritage, at this moment are all floating clouds!

The other party has neither a background nor a wealthy family, is it different to defeat them?

This result is unacceptable to them!

"Pedro, go warm up!"

Martino is ready to make a substitution, and in the last 20 minutes, Barcelona must seize the time to attack.

No matter what, he's going to hold on to his home turf!

After the restart, Barcelona once again launched an onslaught at Manchester City.

However, Manchester City, which has already played with momentum, is not afraid of the other party at this time.

They used active running and tenacious defense to defuse the opponent's attack again and again.

Even after completing the break, there were a few counter-attacks.

In the 82nd minute, Manchester City broke the ball again, and seeing that Manchester City's thunderous counterattack was coming again, Barcelona, who had learned a lesson, chose to foul as soon as possible.

Lin Quan was brought down by Xiaofa in the middle as soon as he received the ball, and Curpes immediately showed Xiaofa a yellow card.

This is the 8th yellow card of the game, and Curpace is a card master, and he really likes to deal cards.

Lin Quan didn't care, and after being pulled up by his teammates, he patted his ass and ran to the front.

De Bruyne took a free-kick and he handed it to Kroos, who moved wide to the flanks and the City players set up the attack in Barca's half.

The Barcelona players seem to be a little out of energy, they really want to press like before, but they obviously feel that their feet are very heavy and they can't run!

Seeing this result, Pellegrini was completely relieved.

Barcelona's fitness situation is indeed a hidden danger, they do not have a lead in the league and dare not give up any league game.

Prior to City's visit, they had just finished a Barcelona derby and had not had time to rest when they met City.

Manchester City, on the other hand, arrived at Barcelona a few days early, and they were at the peak of their fitness after a long time of recuperation.

Although he was embarrassed by Barcelona's passing control before, the physical consumption was not small.

However, passing and controlling football also requires constant high-pressure pressing, and the physical consumption is also very large.

At this point, the fitness of both teams is about the same, and Manchester City is even better.

In this case, Barcelona can no longer press as high as before.

Without the pressing, their pass control naturally couldn't be played.

On the pitch, the Manchester City players felt it too.

Barcelona want to end the suspense of the game in the first leg, and Manchester City want to too.

So they seized on the weakness of the opponent's declining physical strength and began to launch an onslaught against Barcelona!

Manchester City's strength is not in defense, but in attack!

Once they let go of their hands and feet to attack with all their might, even Barcelona will tremble under their attacking firepower.

In the closing stages of the game, City's attack became more and more fluid.

The players' passing and running positions are not inferior to the Barcelona team in the first half, which makes the fans at Camp Nou feel a little like: it seems that the team wearing the blue jersey is Barcelona!

Under the threat of Manchester City's powerful attacking firepower, Barcelona could only be forced to defend.

Pedro, who had just been substituted, had no effect and had to shrink back into the box as a defender.

In the final stage of the game, there was a grand scene of Manchester City besieging the Barcelona goal.

Unfortunately, they were a little less lucky, and in stoppage time, Lin Quan's shot was denied by the crossbar and missed the chance to score a hat-trick at Camp Nou.

In the end, at the end of the game, Manchester City defeated the mighty Barcelona 3:2 away with goals from Lin Quan and David Silva, and left the Camp Nou with their heads held high.

In the two-legged contest, Manchester City, with 1 goal difference and 3 away goals, has clearly taken the lead!
