super storm

Chapter 914

When the Swiss referee Busacca blew the whistle to end the game, there was a deafening cheer from the entire Camp Nou.

More than 5000 fans in the audience were all shouting Messi's name.

After the whistle sounded, the Argentine superstar raised his hands above his head and applauded vigorously, celebrating the team's victory.

[-] to [-], Barcelona reversed Arsenal at home and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League with a total score of [-] to [-].

In addition to scoring a goal with a flash of inspiration at the last moment of stoppage time in the first half, Messi also created a penalty kick based on his personal ability in the second half, and personally took the penalty. He scored the third goal for Barcelona and helped the team beat the opponent with a total score of [-]-[-].

Scoring twice, Messi's number of goals in the Champions League this season has increased to eight goals. This is the most goals scored in a single season in the Champions League in his career. He is very confident that he can exceed ten or even more.

Champions League goals reached double digits, which in the past three or four years, except for Yang Yang, no one can do it.

Including Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo.

Messi and his teammates high-fived, hugged, and walked off the court shoulder to shoulder.

Messi contributed a lot to being able to reverse Arsenal [-]-[-] at home, especially when the two central defenders Puyol and Pique were absent at the same time, Messi's leadership role became even more obvious.

On the sidelines of the stadium, the Barcelona coaching staff and staff were also in a happy group, celebrating excitedly.

In the first round, they lost [-]-[-] away to Arsenal, followed by draws against Sporting Gijon and Sevilla. Barcelona was also under heavy pressure, until this moment it was a little easier.

With Barcelona's strength, it is well deserved to break into the quarter-finals, but playing against Arsenal is full of twists and turns.

"Is the result from another stadium coming out?" Messi asked with concern.

The assistant coach Vilanova took the words this time with a smile, "Come out, Real Madrid performed well. They beat Lyon [-]-[-] and advanced [-]-[-] on aggregate. The gap between Lyon and Real Madrid is quite large."

Messi was taken aback after hearing this, "How many did Yang Yang get in?" There was concern in his eyes.

Vilanova smiled, "Don't worry, he'll just get one."

Messi breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself: Fortunately, only one entered.

Due to the absence of the group stage, Yang Yang only played two rounds of the knockout round of the top [-], scoring one in a game, and a total of two, which is still six goals behind Messi's eight goals.

Of course, with the current situation of both sides, no one can say what will happen next, but Barcelona also reached the quarterfinals.

In other words, even if Real Madrid did reach the Champions League final, it would only be five games. It would be almost impossible for Yang Yang to recover six goals in the remaining five games.

Everyone knows how difficult it is to score goals in the Champions League knockout rounds.

What's more, Barcelona has also entered the quarter-finals. As long as Messi continues to maintain a good performance and wins in both rounds, it will not be difficult to maintain the lead.

"Don't worry, it's impossible for Yang Yang to catch up with you in the Champions League." Vilanova patted Messi on the shoulder and said confidently.

"Yeah, no matter how good that guy is, in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, can he still score goals like in La Liga?"

"Don't think too much, Leo, as long as we concentrate on playing the game well, pass the quarter-finals, enter the semi-finals, and even enter the finals, then why do you have to worry about being overtaken by Yang Yang?"

"However, I think Real Madrid's performance this season is also very stable. I'm afraid they are also focused on making a difference in the Champions League and Copa del Rey. After all, they have always believed that the league is hopeless."

"Champions League? Do you really think they have a chance?"

"Isn't it? In the past 20 years since the Champions League was restructured, no team has been able to successfully defend the title, and neither is Real Madrid."

"I heard that Benitez is about to leave get out of class, and Real Madrid has already started looking for a new coach. In this case, how much fighting power can Real Madrid have to persist until the end?"

……

The teammates discussed each other with each other, and every word they said gave Messi confidence.

There is no doubt that Messi is the banner of Barcelona and the number one star in the Barcelona team. All Barcelona players regard Messi as the pride of the team, and as long as Messi defeats Yang Yang, it is not only the glory of Messi himself, but also the glory of everyone in Barcelona.

Messi listened to the words of his teammates, he just maintained a humble and kind smile, and did not participate in it, but anyone who is familiar with Messi can easily detect his inner desire from his eyes.

He is eager to defeat Yang Yang, even if it is only once, even if it is only one event.

In the past few years, Yang Yang has almost swept the entire European football world. After joining Real Madrid last season, Yang Yang won the top scorers and assists in the Champions League and La Liga, and won all major awards.

To put it in a rougher way, let alone meat, he didn't even leave a mouthful of soup for Messi to drink.

That being the case, Messi can only rely on himself.

If he can win the top scorer in the Champions League in front of Yang Yang this season, it will undoubtedly be a big blow to Yang Yang, at least let Yang Yang know that he is not invincible.

Messi will also gain confidence from this victory.

Everything is like this, as long as there is a first time and a beginning, there will be more to come.

…………

…………

Real Madrid defeated Lyon [-]-[-] at home, Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben scored successively.

The explosion of the trident in the frontcourt helped the team win the Ligue [-] class, and then eliminated the opponent with a total score of [-] to [-], and successfully advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. This made Real Madrid feel full of confidence.

Looking at this season's UEFA Champions League round of [-] knockout rounds, the biggest upset came from the Premier League's Tottenham Hotspur defeated AC Milan [-]-[-] on aggregate and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

This can be said to be an out-and-out unpopularity. The Rossoneri stopped in the top [-] and fell to Tottenham Hotspur, an upstart in the Premier League. It is indeed very surprising.

What's more interesting is that Yang Yang's friends Van der Vaart and Pienaar, as well as Liverpool's best partner Crouch are all in the current Tottenham Hotspur team, and they all performed very well.

The most highly rated by the outside world is Tottenham Hotspur's main midfielder, Croatian star Luka Modric. This 25-year-old midfielder has successfully attracted the attention of many Premier League giants including Chelsea, and Real Madrid is also very interested in him.

The main reason is that Real Madrid is not satisfied with Gago's performance.

At present, the thickness of Real Madrid's bench is quite strong, but in the position of organizing midfielder, especially the delaying midfielder, there is only Harvey Alonso alone, and Gago has not shown reassuring strength.

Sometimes, Benitez would rather let Granero, or even play a single midfielder, without Gago.

In addition to Tottenham Hotspur, Shakhtar Donetsk eliminated the Red Wolf Roma with a total score of [-]-[-], which is also a rather surprising result. No one thought that the Serie A powerhouse lost to the Ukrainian team.

Behind the call, Inter Milan is the dominant player in Serie A, and Roma has also risen along with the trend, but Roma has not shown convincing results over the years.

What has something to do with Real Madrid is that Schalke [-] eliminated Valencia with a total score of [-]-[-] in the two rounds of the Bundesliga. Raul scored a goal, which was his third UEFA Champions League goal this season.

After Yang Yang got the news, he specially sent a congratulatory message to Raul.

Even after Raul left the team, the two of them still kept in close contact. Every time Raul returned to Madrid, he would visit Yang Yang's home.

After the draw, Real Madrid drew Tottenham Hotspur from the Premier League in the quarterfinals.

The two teams had just met in the group stage, and unexpectedly met again in the knockout round of the Champions League quarter-finals in a blink of an eye.

With Real Madrid in the same half area are Chelsea and Manchester United, which formed a situation in which three Premier League teams encircled and suppressed Real Madrid in the entire half area, which also aroused heated discussions in the British and Spanish media.

As for Barcelona, ​​the quarter-finals encountered Shakhtar Donetsk, and the other two teams were Schalke Zero Four and Inter Milan.

On the whole, the Champions League this season is still unpopular, but at the same time there are strong duels.

…………

…………

On March 20th, La Liga No.[-] has nine rounds.

Real Madrid ushered in the Madrid derby, a guest at the Calderon Stadium, and challenged Atletico Madrid.

Before the game, the Spanish media ridiculed that Real Madrid lost to Atletico Madrid once, and Spain still uses the peseta, which is Spain's previous currency, until the beginning of this century before switching to the euro.

Real Madrid has not lost to Atletico Madrid for more than ten years. The duel between the two teams looks more like after a 10-minute duel, Real Madrid scored three points.

So much so that some media joked before the game that the Calderon Stadium has become a stable three-point granary for Real Madrid.

Affected by the midweek Champions League, Yang Yang's state in this game has dropped, and he did not perform at his best. On the contrary, Ibrahimovic was very active after the opening, frequently dribbling the ball into the Atletico Madrid penalty area.

No. In the 11th minute, Xavi Alonso passed the ball, and Kaka picked a pass from the outside in the first time. After blocking the two Atletico Madrid defenders with his body, Ibrahimovic turned around and caught up with the ball to form a single goal, [-]-[-].

Then in No. 30 two minutes, Ibrahimovic pulled the ball to the side and passed it to Yang Yang.

Yang Yang dribbled the ball to attract the attention of the defensive players, and then passed it to Marcelo. The Brazilian broke into the left side of the penalty area and passed back.

Although De Gea reacted and caught the ball with one hand, he finally let the ball fall into the goal line and Real Madrid expanded the score.

After leading by two goals, Real Madrid continued to maintain their advantage on the field, but in the end they failed to break through Atletico Madrid's goal. Instead, in the No.806 minute of the second half, Atletico Madrid hit a counterattack. After Aguero cooperated with Koke, he pushed and scored in the penalty area.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid [-]-[-] in an away game, double-killing the Sheets this season.

In another stadium, Barcelona defeated Getafe [-]-[-] at home, scored three points without any risk, and continued to maintain a five-point advantage over Real Madrid.

Messi failed to score in three consecutive rounds.
