Chapter 1300 Bomber Records
For Barcelona fans, after the game against Manchester City, it is simply their most difficult time.

The next round will have to wait until the middle of next week.In between, a week, they live like a year.

On the one hand, they have to bear the ridicule of the fans of arch-rival Real Madrid-although Real Madrid was also eliminated by Manchester City, this does not prevent them from laughing at Barcelona, ​​which is the same destination as them.

On the other hand, they are still desperate.They themselves do not believe that Barcelona can also reverse Manchester City at home.

Because Manchester City is too strong.And the tactics that Manchester City is good at happen to be the ones that can best restrain Barcelona.

No matter how I analyze it, I feel that the second round of the game is hopeless.

To make matters worse, in the approaching national derby, Barcelona lost 1:2 at home to rival Real Madrid.

Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the goal in the No. 703 minute, made a celebratory gesture of pressing down to signal the fans at the Nou Camp to be quiet.

This is simply a disguised humiliation for Barcelona fans.

But in the face of such humiliation, it is impossible for them to fight back.

They can only bear it, and bear it aggrievedly.

Compared with the pessimistic Barcelona fans, Manchester City fans are like a holiday every day.

On the Internet, Manchester City fans are already talking about going to the Allianz Stadium to watch the game, such as booking air tickets, hotels, and buying tickets in advance.

Someone is also teaching you some simple German words for greeting.

In short, I didn't take the second round to heart at all.

In the weekend league, they challenged the Wolves away. Although almost all the main players were rotated, Manchester City still defeated the Wolves 2-0 away.Rong Guang scored a goal in the game, which is his No.30 league goal this season.

He has scored 63 goals in all competitions this season.

Four goals shy of Gerd Müller's single-season record of 67 goals.

Judging from Rongguang's current state, he really has the hope of breaking Muller's record.

After all, Manchester City still has a lot of games to play.

One Champions League semi-final, one final, one FA Cup semi-final, one final, four league games.

In eight games, with Rongguang's current state, scoring four goals is simply too easy.

But now it is not his glory that is most likely to break Gerd Muller's record, but Messi.

Although Messi did not perform well in the Champions League semi-finals, he did not score.

There were also no goals in the weekend's Clasico.

But now he has 66 goals in all club competitions this season, just one short of Gerd Müller's 67.

As long as he can score a goal in the future, whether it is in the league next weekend or the Champions League semi-finals in the middle of next week, he will tie Gerd Muller's record.

One more, and he will set a new record.

So it is not Gerd Muller that Rongguang wants to surpass, but Messi.

This may be the only thing where Messi can lead the glory.

Prior to this, European football generally believed that Gerd Muller's 67-goal record was almost impossible to break.

In the 1972-1973 season, Gerd Muller, the German "bomber" who played for Bayern Munich, scored 36 goals in the Bundesliga and defended the honor of the Bundesliga Golden Boot.

Gerd Müller's record has stood for 39 years so far.

So how difficult is the veteran bomber's record of 67 goals to break?Two examples can be given to illustrate.

In the 1996-1997 season, Ronaldo, who played for Barcelona, ​​performed extremely well and was called an "alien". He also won the World Footballer of the year and the European Golden Globe Award.But in that fantastic season, Ronaldo scored only 47 goals in total.

In the 2007-2008 season, Cristiano Ronaldo reached the peak of his career at Manchester United. He helped Manchester United win the Premier League and the Champions League.But that season, his total number of goals was only 42 goals.

The miraculous performance of the two top players is still so far away from Muller's record. It is no wonder that for a long time, everyone believed that Muller's record could not be broken.

Even if it is glory, it has not been able to break the record set by Muller in a single season.

In the season when he helped Bayern Munich win the Champions League, although Rongguang scored 28 goals in the Champions League and 49 goals in the league, he won the league Golden Boot.But his total number of goals in the season is only [-], which is already the second highest in history, and it is still far from Muller.

In the following 2007-2008 season, Rongguang had a strong momentum. In less than half a season, he had already scored 36 goals in various competitions.At that time, everyone thought that if someone could break Gerd Muller's record, it would only be the glory of the 2007-2008 season.

Even Gerd Müller himself came out to cheer for Glory, saying he was delighted to see a player in a Bayern Munich jersey break his record.

However, in the last Champions League group match, Rongguang was seriously injured and missed the entire season because of Rorik Cana's malicious infringement.His total number of goals that season also stayed at 36.

Later, Rongguang transferred to Manchester City and performed well. Last season, he helped Manchester City win the Champions League and the league championship.

Last season was also the season with the most goals scored by Glory.All competitions added up, he scored a total of [-] goals.

But Gerd Müller was still seven goals short.

Such brave glory cannot break the record, and everyone thinks that Gerd Muller's record is blessed by God and others, and it is absolutely impossible to be broken.

Otherwise, why did Rongguang suddenly suffer a serious injury in the season closest to breaking the record, causing him to fall short?

But now, Messi's sudden emergence has brought Gerd Muller's record close at hand.

With 66 goals, Messi is only one goal away from catching up with Muller!
So will he tie or surpass Gerd Muller in the Champions League semi-final against Manchester City next week?
If Messi can surpass Gerd Muller's record, it means that he may help Barcelona tie the total score to 2:3, so that Barcelona will still have the opportunity to equalize the total score and create a comeback miracle!
So for a while, Messi's personal honor and the fate of Barcelona's team were tied together in this way, and it became one thing.

Some media went to interview Gerd Muller and asked him what he thought about Messi's upcoming record.

They thought that Gerd Müller would bless Messi very generously, but Müller sighed: "Messi is a very good player, his performance deserves any praise, but when it comes to breaking the record... My biggest regret is not that the record is about to be broken, but that I had the opportunity to see Bayern Munich players break this record, but now I will never see it..."

Muller's words are unexpected, but those who understand will understand why Muller said this-when Rongguang was in Bayern Munich, he had great hopes of breaking the record, but he was seriously injured during the season and quit.After recovering from injury, he was sold off by Bayern Munich and left Bayern Munich completely.

So whether it is Messi or Rongguang, no matter who breaks the record, it is not a Bayern Munich player.

This is what Mueller regrets the most.

His words also resonated with many German fans. After Rong Guang left, there will be no star in the Bundesliga who can really hold the field.Franck Ribery is the number one star of "French Football", but looking at the entire world football, he can't even rank in the top three.

Robben performed well in Bayern Munich, but after successive failures in the Champions League and the World Cup, he was still a short breath away from being recognized as the world's top.

Many Bayern Munich fans still can't forgive Hoeness, because he was so stupid that he drove away Bayern Munich's treasure for 8000 million pounds.

This has also led to Bayern Munich's failure to win a UEFA Champions League until now.

In the 2009-2010 season, they didn't even qualify for the group stage.

Of course, Bayern Munich's performance this year is not bad. Under the leadership of Van Gaal, they have reached the semi-finals and hope to enter the Champions League final.

But fans still miss the glory.

※※※

The second round of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in midweek is coming soon in the highly anticipated.

Before the game, Benitez expressed his confidence: "Camp Nou is a great stadium. Any team coming here will feel tremendous pressure. But facing pressure is part of professional players. I believe my players know how to play under great pressure."

Ibrahimovic was provocative in an interview: "I am very happy to return to the Nou Camp. I don't care if I hear boos or applause. It has nothing to do with me. I care more about the result of the game, the victory. It is a wonderful ending to be able to eliminate Barcelona at the Nou Camp..."

Rong Guang reiterated his goal: "I said we are going to defend the Champions League."

He is even more arrogant than Ibrahimovic - he simply passed Barcelona and his possible final opponents, and directly set his sights on the Champions League trophy. There is nothing else in his eyes except this trophy.

In contrast, Guardiola reiterated the team's courage before the game, and hoped that the fans would support the team unreservedly at the Nou Camp, creating a fantastic home atmosphere to help the team achieve an almost impossible shocking reversal.

"Football is round... I believe this sentence, because I believe that anything can happen in the football world. My players and I have not given up. We will work hard until the last moment, and this is also the charm and sportsmanship of football."

Messi also accepted an interview before the game. After all, he is the man who wants to create a new record, but he doesn't care about Gerd Muller's record.

"I didn't think about surpassing Mr. Gerd Müller. Sorry, I'm not thinking about it now. I think the team can reach the final, whether I score or not."

A reporter asked: "But if you score a goal, wouldn't Barcelona have a greater chance of qualifying for the final?"

"Maybe so, but I think the most important thing is the team. If I can create better chances for my teammates, I will be more than happy to pass the football."
