Barcelona's dominance was completely extinguished by Liverpool!
The game's injury stoppage time was three minutes, but after only two minutes, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game.
Because Barcelona looked like they were only in possession of the ball and had no desire to attack.
"The second leg of the Champions League 14 final has come to an end at Camp Nou. Barcelona, the defending Champions League champions, drew 4: 4 with the Premier League leader, Liverpool at home, and were eliminated with a total score of 5: 8!
Throughout the game, the core players of both teams played brilliantly.
Messi's hat-trick gave Barcelona hope of a comeback, but Qin Xiong's four goals on Liverpool's side completely shattered Barcelona's possibility of a comeback.
Overall, Barcelona's performance was better than the last game at Anfield. Liverpool's firm implementation of defensive counterattack in the two legs restrained Barcelona well. We also can't deny that Barcelona's mentality was unbalanced in the last 15 minutes of the game. If it weren't for the cruelty of the two-leg knockout game and the situation, then Barcelona should have been able to win the game today, but they would still be eliminated.
Liverpool's performance in the Champions League this season can be described as starting low and going high.
They stumbled in the group stage, came to the knockout stage, and advanced triumphantly. They beat Real Madrid in two legs to advance to the top eight. Now, they eliminated the defending champions, Barcelona, with a win and a draw. They seem to have become unstoppable. I don't know which team in the top four can compete with Liverpool, but the Champions League is always full of unexpected plots. We can only wait and see what kind of opponents Liverpool will encounter next, and how they will perform in the semi-finals.
Well, the Champions League semi-finals will be played at the end of the month. We will continue to pay attention to Liverpool's performance. See you then! "
The game was over.
Barcelona's players looked gloomy, while Liverpool's players began to celebrate.
Qin Xiong had an excited smile on his face as he shook hands and hugged his teammates one by one. Everyone had crazy expressions of joy on their faces. After hugging each other, they shouted to express their excitement.
Qin Xiong then looked from afar at the dejected Ibrahimovic and the expressionless Messi who was suppressing his sense of loss. He withdrew his gaze and took the ball for the game from the referee. He clamped the football to his waist with one hand and held the jersey he had taken off with the other. The Liverpool players came together. Qin Xiong stood in the middle and walked towards the players' tunnel with their heads held high.
The Red Army left with their heads held high, proud and victorious.
Just as Qin Xiong was about to enter the players' tunnel, he suddenly stopped.
He heard the song echoing in the Camp Nou stadium.
He turned around and stopped to look at the grandstand. Suddenly, he saw a shocking scene.
Although not all of the Barcelona fans sang together in the stands, an astonishing number of them still sang together, presenting a picture of unity and loyalty. They encouraged the team with their songs!
Qin Xiong's eyes suddenly went into a trance.
Barcelona lost today, but with the support and encouragement of the fans, they would never be depressed and unable to recover!
He believed that in the near future, Barcelona would still have the capital to make a comeback and reach the top!
.....
After the game, in the Barcelona locker room, Dirk Kuyt opened a bottle of champagne and splashed the drink in the locker room to celebrate. Everyone forgot about themselves and celebrated.
Comain did not stop the players' behavior. They had eliminated the defending champions, a super-class king team in European football. The sense of accomplishment was extremely great. The mental enjoyment and stimulation it brought was also indescribable.
However, such a scene should not be leaked. He walked out of the locker room after giving a few instructions to his colleagues in the coaching staff. After closing the door, Comain went to the scene of the post-match press conference.
Guardiola had already appeared at the press conference. He did not encounter any difficulties from the Spanish media.
Compared to Real Madrid who lost without any suspense, or even without any resistance, handing the victory to Liverpool, Barcelona at one point in the game still gave everyone hope.
The score could not summarize the entire content of the game, especially the possibilities contained in the trend of the key points.
"Liverpool's second goal changed everything. We could have created a miracle, but after Qin Xiong scored the second goal, we deviated from the winning track. I can only say congratulations to Liverpool. They performed well. Although I don't agree with Liverpool's football philosophy, they have a luxurious lineup but play conservative and utilitarian football. But Liverpool eliminated Barcelona. I can only say that they won. I'm still proud of Barcelona. Our performance in this game was much better than the last game. Now that we have been eliminated, we will not stop. It's time to focus on the league tournament and then work hard to be successful at the end of the season."
The Spanish media still agreed with Guardiola's remarks and felt a certain amount of sympathy.
Barcelona's opponents were often helpless because of Messi's extraordinary individual performances.
Barcelona encountered such helplessness today.
When Qin Xiong scored the goal that turned the overall situation around, what could Barcelona do?
Qin Xiong used three different ways to break through Barcelona's defense.
If he was given another ten chances, he might only succeed once or twice, but he succeeded that one time and scored a very beautiful goal.
Barcelona could only sigh helplessly.
Fleet Street's comments on Guardiola were a bit of an insult to them.
"You say that you don't agree with Liverpool's football philosophy, but don't you think that Liverpool's four goals, during the scoring process, can stimulate the fans' viewing senses to the greatest extent? It will make the fans feel their blood boil. Liverpool presents the speed and fast-paced impact in football to all the spectators, unlike Barcelona's long period of steady pace that makes people feel tired. Liverpool's football philosophy is also very popular. "
Guardiola laughed at the remarks made by the Fleet Street reporter and did not bother to answer.
Every manager had his own position, which represented his personal football philosophy. He did not judge the differences between each other's football philosophies as superior or inferior. He just did not agree.
Moreover, at this time, as the loser, he was bound to make mistakes if he said too much and bring more pressure to himself from public opinion.
So, he simply chose to remain silent.
When Comain attended the post-match press conference, the Spanish media frequently used words such as "utilitarian" and "ugly" to describe Liverpool's tactical play.
As the winner, Comain did not need to be tit-for-tat with the Spanish media.
He simply evaluated the game.
"Barcelona performed very well and put a lot of pressure on Liverpool. After we took the lead in the first leg, we were almost overturned. Barcelona is a respectable opponent, but Liverpool had the last laugh. This was a wonderful and classic game!"
