In fact, the rest of the race in Malaga is quite difficult.

Barcelona in the seventh round of the league, then Manchester City in the Champions League group stage, Levante in the eighth round of the league, Real Madrid in the ninth round, and Rayo Vallecano in the tenth round.

The schedule is intensive, and you have to play against a super team like Real Madrid and Barcelona during the period.

How to reasonably distribute the physical fitness of the main players is something that the coaching staff needs to plan reasonably.

In the end, Manuel Pellegrini decided to play all his squad for the Barcelona game and rotate it appropriately for the game against Manchester City.

This is of course because the team's two consecutive Champions League wins have emboldened Pellegrini, and the media is right.

For Manuel Pellegrini.

It's the league that's all that matters.

He knows how difficult it will be to make a breakthrough in the Champions League.

Although the chances of the league are not very high, at least, if the team can stay healthy. In the marathon of the league, which bites Real Madrid and Barcelona, and at the end of the season, what will happen, who knows?

Before the game, there was a lot of speculation in the media about Malaga's choice, which is different from a team like Barcelona.

Malaga's starters and substitutes are really two grades.

Barcelona's midfielders rotated Sergio Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta.

They can also field the likes of Cesc Fabregas, Mascherano and Thiago.

What is called a cosmic team (tactical back-up).

This is something that Malaga simply can't match, and most of the time, for a small team like Malaga, switching to a second-tier squad is about giving up the game.

This game at Camp Nou.

When Málaga's all-main force debuted, reporters in the media table said that Malaga was still very rational and did not go crazy.

But

Will an all-powerful Málaga win against Barcelona?

"Xavi, Sergio Busquets, Villa are all back from injury, this game is our chance to get revenge!"

"It doesn't make much sense if Malaga is not a full workhorse"

The Catalan players in the media box looked arrogant.

But looking at Barcelona's squad, they clearly have the ability to be arrogant:

Goalkeeper Valdés.

Central defender Gerard Pique partnered Puyol, left-back Alves, right-back Abidal, midfielders Xavi, Busquets, and Iniesta started together for the first time this season, and on the forward line, Sanchez, Villa, and Messi trident.

On the bench, there are players such as Mascherano, Cesc Fabregas, Thiago, Pedro, among others.

Before the game, the Catalan media were hyping revenge, to report last season's revenge at the Camp Nou.

With the drive for revenge.

Barcelona's players pressed heavily in this game, with skillful ball control skills and stronger overall strength, to suppress Malaga.

At this time, of course, Barcelona did not have such a mood to underestimate Malaga.

If Malaga beat Real Madrid twice last season, sank Camp Nou, defeat AC Milan at home this season, and narrowly beat Bayern Munich away this season, Barcelona's players will be a little demoralized if they are still underbeaten.

So, Barcelona who started the game with the determination to deal with a team like Real Madrid was terrible.

For the first time this season, Malaga was completely overwhelmed.

Barcelona launched a series of attacks on the pitch, which made the atmosphere at the Camp Nou extremely hot.

However, it was Malaga who scored first in this game!

Twenty-eighth minute of the game.

Yelo burst forward with the ball along the wing.

The arch of his right foot on the edge of the penalty line pushed the ball to the other side, and while pushing the ball, Yelo also brought a lifting action to give the ball a spin, so that the trajectory of the ball on the turf turned into an outward arc, just bypassing Pique's defense and finding the king of the small penalty area Ruud van Nistelrooy who was ambushed on the other side.

Fanny is getting older.

But consciousness and archery skills are becoming more and more sophisticated.

He ran to the position as soon as he got up and shot.

The soccer ball stuck to the turf, grazed the post, and got into the goal.

It was a tricky shot.

Valdés reacted quickly and quickly fell sideways to make a save, but still couldn't touch the football.

Malaga are 1-0 up away from home!!

Ruud van Nistelrooy's goal silenced the enthusiastic Camp Nou for a while.

Malaga returned to midfield with a 1-0 lead.

But in the second half.

Pep Guardiola deploys troops.

He first replaced Xavi, who had just returned from injury, with Fabregas, and then replaced Villa, who also failed to find his feel after returning from injury, with Pedro, pushing Messi to the center forward position, and letting Pedro and Sanchez take turns to play on the left and right.

The substitution quickly resulted in a goal for Barcelona.

Fifty-third minute of the game.

Messi pulled out of the penalty area, received a pass from Iniesta at the top of the penalty area arc and passed to Fabregas, Fabregas led the ball into the penalty area and stepped on the ball with his heel, and Messi, who followed up, came directly with his left foot and volleyed!

The soccer ball flew into the goal against the underside of the crossbar!!

This combination is pleasing to the eye, tacit cooperation, and full of imagination.

Although Cesc Fabregas played in the first team at Arsenal, he is a player who came out of the La Masia academy after all, and Messi, Pique and others who also grew up in La Masia are childhood friends, so after arriving at Barcelona this season, he quickly integrated.

Barceloan continued to attack aggressively after equalising.

Sixty-eighth minute of the game.

Barcelona's second penalty area has arrived.

Andres Iniesta's long-range shot from the edge of the box gave Barcelona another point.

The goal silenced the visitors' loyal Malaga fans.

It was really too difficult to face Barcelona at Camp Nou who were 100 per cent.

The first-half lead made Malaga fans think they could beat Barcelona again at Camp Nou.

But now the bloody reality is in front of us.

No team can win forever.

Barcelona can't.

Neither can Malaga.

Suffering defeat is also part of football

The fans of Malaga sat in the stands in frustration.

'Malaga conceded another goal and they were reversed by Barcelona. Málaga's style of play this season is actually the pursuit of control and the pursuit of attacking in the frontcourt, but this game has been played so far, Málaga's midfield cannot be compared with Barcelona's midfield at all, they are significantly behind Barcelona in possession, and Malaga only got 36% possession, which is far lower than the possession rate in their previous games. On the commentary seat, the commentator Andres said.

The camera's shot showed Manuel Pellegrini, who was frowning on the sidelines.

"Last season Málaga was in fantastic form, they only got five points in the thirteenth round of the league, from the fourteenth round of the league, they went all the way to the points and finally finished third in the league, they have also been in very good form this season, five wins and one draw in the league, two epic wins in the Champions League, but now at the Camp Nou, Malaga are behind and they are likely to get the first defeat of the season," Andres said, shaking his head.

Not far away.

The Catalan commentator shouted with his arm on his side: "Barcelona! Oh oh oh! Barcelona!! Oh oh oh! We are Barcelona!! We are invincible Barça!! ”

The cheers of the entire Camp Nou almost toppled the roof of the stadium.

Can't blame the people of Barcelona for being so excited.

Because for Barcelona.

This game is indeed a battle for revenge.

In their opinion.

If it weren't for the "unexpected" defeat to Malaga at Camp Nou last season.

Their league title race also doesn't need to last until the final round of the league.

Ye Luo's brows tightened.

Once again, he felt a sense of powerlessness.

In the face of Barcelona's possession tactics, Malaga's pressing seemed to hit cotton, and Yelo himself did not get much of the ball.

And Malaga's own passing control also looked a little out of shape because they didn't get many possession opportunities at all in this game.

Ye Luo looked at the sidelines.

Manuel Pellegrini was gesturing to him.

Ye Luo nodded to the sidelines and returned to the midfield.

As the game resumed, Málaga's side began to circle Yelo and pass the ball.

Ye Luo's range of motion is even greater.

He kept opening up space in the midfield, and when the players in Malaga couldn't find a passing line, they looked for Yelo's position!

There was a lot of defensive pressure around Yelo.

But whether it's Sergio Busquets or Cesc Fabregas, or Andres Iniesta.

Or the two Barça full-backs who came up in front of their positions, and Pedro and Alexis Sanchez, who returned to the front line to help press.

Failed to snatch the ball from Yelo's feet, which was a foul at best.

In the 72nd minute of the game, Yelo received a pass and was defended by Fabregas and Busquets, Yelo fell to the ground, but the ball was not taken away, and Fabregas fouled.

A minute later, almost the same way, this time Alves and Sanchez collaborated, but still couldn't complete the break, Yelo's ball was so steady that their outstretched foot could only trip Yelo.

Another foul!

With the efforts of Yelo.

Malaga finally settled down after conceding two goals in a row.

In the stands.

The fans in Malaga were moved.

They are ashamed of their previous frustrations.

"Ye is still working hard! We. It's a shame. ”

"Isn't it just a goal behind? We have to shout! We want the players to hear us!! ”

"Come on! Come on! ”

The fans encouraged each other.

Soon.

In the stands of the visiting team, the cheers of the Malaga fans erupted again.

Although at the Camp Nou, the number of more than 76,000 Barcelona fans is in front of people.

The voice of 3,000 Malagans is so insignificant.

However, their cheers are like tenacious shoots emerging from the cracks in the stones, standing proudly in the sun.

Whether it's a win or a loss.

They have to tell the players as well.

We are all in this together.

You don't give up.

We won't give up either!!

Yelo received the ball again, this time it was Messi who tried to steal the ball from under his feet, but Yelo blocked Messi behind him for the first time, Messi failed to touch the ball, and on the other side, Abidal, who tried to steal the ball while Messi and Yelo were confronting, stretched out his foot to hook the ball, but the football was pulled away by Yelo for the first time, and at the moment when Yelo was ready to take the ball to speed, Abidal made a tactical foul.

The referee's whistle blows.

Messi stretched out his hand to Yelo and pulled Yelo up.

Messi suddenly said: "I won La Liga and the Champions League last season, do you know why, Ye? ”

Ye Luo was stunned and looked at Messi suspiciously.

He just wanted to send it quickly.

Now I'm stunned, and the opportunity to send it quickly is gone.

He glanced at Messi unhappily, I really didn't expect that you with thick eyebrows and big eyes would actually play trash talk tactics.

"You're amazing, you're awesome." Ye Luo said angrily.

Messi smiled, he shook his head and said, "No! Ye, you are also very strong, maybe you are about to surpass me. ”

Seeing Ye Luo's brows furrowed, Messi made a long story short: "It's because of my teammates, my team!" You know what I mean, right? I don't need to be like you. From the front to the midfield, try to prop up the whole team! ”

"It can't be done, leaf. Football." Messi patted Yelo on the shoulder, "Football is a sport of eleven men. ”

I saw Ye Luo turn his head.

Messi said seriously: "Join us, we can win everything." ”

Ye Luo smiled: "Leo, you are too cunning. ”

Seeing Messi's face, he was stunned.

"What you just said delayed us for more than thirty seconds!"

Ye Luo said, bent down, held the ball down, and quickly kicked it out.

"What did you say to him?"

Iniesta leaned in.

Messi shook his head: "Didn't say anything."

Iniesta frowned slightly as he watched Yelo get the ball again.

Yelo was seen to get past Abidal with a croquette, quickly dribble forward, and was fouled by Puyol, who came up in front of him, 30 meters from the goal, for which Puyol also received a yellow card.

Both Messi and Andres Iniesta had a premonition.

Really.

This long-range free-kick Ye Luo blasted a super world wave.

Sent the ball into the Barcelona goal to equalize.

This is also the score at the end of the game.

Two to two.

Malaga drew away from home to Barcelona.

Malaga suffered two draws in a row.

The happiest of those in this result is Real Madrid.

Jose Mourinho's side won again, following a 3-1 win away at Atletico Madrid, a crucial Madrid derby.

They have seven league games, six wins and one draw, and have 19 points to dominate the table!

Málaga, on the other hand, slipped to second place due to this draw, with five wins, two draws and 17 points.

Barcelona won four and drew three, with 15 points.

Fourth-placed Real Betis and Valencia have four wins, one draw and two defeats, while Atletico Madrid lost the Madrid derby and slipped from fourth to sixth.

Real Madrid are the favourites to win the title.

And Malaga, which suffered two consecutive draws in the league, has also been sung down by many media, believing that it is time for them to return to a "normal level".

These two draws are proof of that.

After the game.

When interviewing Yelo, a reporter asked: "Ye, do you still think that Malaga's goal is to win La Liga?" You're two points behind Real Madrid. ”

The game was even, and Ye Luo was naturally quite unhappy, he looked at the reporter and said, "Oh, I thought we were twenty points behind."

So saying, he turned and left.

Some Madrid journalists were refreshed.

They looked at Ye Luo's back and couldn't help but smile.

"This guy is strong, but Malaga is Malaga after all."

"Still want to win? In the words of their dragon kingdom, what is it called? ”

"The toad wants to eat swan meat!"

"Hahahaha!"

"I bet the next game is when they lose!"

"Playing Manchester City away, Malaga may not be able to send all the main players."

"I'm looking forward to the moment when they are dragged down by the Champions League!"

"They're coming back and they're going to play Real Madrid!"

"It's pathetic."

Ye Luo couldn't help frowning when he heard the laughter behind him.

"Ding! Activate Side Quest: [Crisis of Two Draws]"

Side quests?

The activation of this quest system is really random
