When Barcelona had resigned themselves to their fate and did not dare to take greater risks to play oppressive attacks in Anfield, Liverpool was relatively content with the current score.
4: 1
Liverpool could beat the gong to withdraw!
Qin Xiong took the initiative to withdraw to participate in the defense, leaving only Torres to attack the city in front.
The more Qin Xiong's position was delayed, the more Barcelona might be afraid because there was more space for him to plug in from the back!
The game entered a fierce, stalemate, but not as exciting as before.
Both teams' attacks were difficult to hit the other team's defensive danger zone.
Barcelona was unable to attack after encountering an iron bucket formation, while Liverpool weakened their offensive investment to ensure victory.
Both teams could only threaten the opponent's goal with free kicks after each other's fouls.
In the 76th minute of the game, Messi tested Reina with a free kick from the right side of the front field.
The tricky curveball went around to the far corner of the goal. Fortunately, the distance was too far, giving Reina enough time to react to save.
Five minutes later, Torres was knocked to the ground by Keita during a counterattack in the front field.
Qin Xiong used a powerful miracle to shake Barcelona's goal this time, but the shot was a little outrageous.
The football took the elevator as it flew towards the goal and did not come down …
Both Liverpool and Barcelona were a little exhausted after the 85th minute of the game. The game consumed a lot of energy. Liverpool shuttled up and down every time they seized the counterattack. Barcelona's oppressive attack most of the time consumed a lot of energy in the constant interspersing and running without the ball.
The Barcelona players looked at the score on the scoreboard and had to admit that the game was a little frustrating at this moment!
Liverpool gritted their teeth and persevered in order to firmly grasp the victory in their hands!
Anfield began to play a loud military song.
You will never walk alone!
"The referee has blown the whistle to signal the end of the game. The first leg of this season's UEFA Champions League 14 finals, the game between Liverpool and Barcelona has come to an end. Liverpool defeated the defending champions, Barcelona, by 4: 1 at home in Anfield!
This was an unexpected score. No one thought that Liverpool could beat Barcelona by a net of three goals at home!
Throughout the entire game, Comain's line-up and on-the-spot command played a key role. Liverpool attacked Barcelona's defensive line again and again with brutal and sharp counterattacks. If it were not for Liverpool's bad luck, the score might have been more than what it was now.
Qin Xiong, Gerard, and Torres were Liverpool's best attacking players today. They became Barcelona's nightmare!
Barcelona's side played relatively well in the first half in the face of intensive defense, but in the second half, they did not play better. We also have to say that Barcelona actually missed a few good opportunities.
Pedro was the player who did not perform well in the front line today. Ibrahimovic was also quiet for a long time. Messi's few breakthroughs were unsuccessful, but his tactical contribution to his teammates was clear at a glance.
Barcelona will face a difficult task when they return to Camp Nou in the next round!
Liverpool will definitely need a miracle to make a comeback, but Barcelona is a team that can create miracles and glory. Guardiola will sum up the experience and lessons when they go back. Let's look forward to the game between the two teams in the next round! "
The Anfield stands were like a boiling sea of red. The Red Army fans waved their scarves and cheered, intoxicated by Liverpool's shocking victory.
Guardiola walked into the players' tunnel expressionlessly after shaking hands with Comain. Barcelona's players followed closely behind. They did not want to stay in this stadium for a second more!
Today's game completely disgraced the champions of Europe last season, and they fled Anfield with their tails between their legs!
Liverpool's players stayed in the stadium. Everyone hugged each other and celebrated. They waved their fists together in excitement and laughter to greet the fans in the stands!
The Red Army fans on the edge of the stands kept waving to the players in the field, hoping to hug the players or get the players' jerseys.
Qin Xiong took off his jersey, revealing his muscular upper body. He walked to the front of the south stands with a smile on his face, and then threw his jersey into the stands. He turned and left without looking at who got his jersey. He raised his hands above his head and applauded in gratitude.
Qin Xiong was about to walk into the players' tunnel when reporters surrounded him and the broadcast cameras were aimed at him.
"Does winning this game mean that Liverpool has advanced to the top four?"
"Last season, you drew with Barcelona twice in Real Madrid. How do you feel about beating Barcelona today? Does Liverpool inspire your ability more than Real Madrid? "
"Can you comment on Messi's performance today?"
.....
Qin Xiong turned a deaf ear to the reporters' questions. After all, this was not a formal interview. He walked into the players' tunnel and returned to the locker room.
Guardiola arrived at the post-match press conference one step ahead of Comain.
In the face of this major defeat, Guardiola was naturally under a lot of pressure, but the young manager still faced the harsh media calmly.
A Spanish reporter asked, "Did Barcelona not learn the lesson of Real Madrid's 10: 3 elimination by Liverpool? Obviously, today's game was almost a replica of Liverpool's game at the Bernabéu! "
The reporter said it vividly.
Liverpool also used defensive counterattack to completely crush Real Madrid at the Bernabéu, but today it was Anfield instead.
If it were an ordinary opponent, Liverpool's defensive counterattack at home would definitely weaken the offense and would not get too many offensive opportunities.
But the opponent was Barcelona, which was a different story. Barcelona was good at oppressive offense, no matter who the opponent was, whether it was at home or away, this was their style, and it was a style that had achieved great success.
They would not give up easily. Because of this, Comain would also adopt such a tactical strategy at home.
Guardiola still had his own pride and position. He would not be flustered by a major defeat, or surrender to the media and be at the mercy of public opinion.
"There are no two identical games in the world. Barcelona's loss to Liverpool today has nothing to do with Real Madrid. The responsibility for the loss is on me. The difficulties we have encountered are very real. Yaya Touré and Bouzquez are unable to play in this game, which has greatly weakened our midfield defense. I believe that when the next round of the game comes, this situation will improve. We have not lost this knockout game yet. The next 90 minutes is the real decisive battle!"
