Gerard's long shot made all the Barcelona defenders extremely nervous. Their many years of experience told them that the threat of the ball should not be underestimated just based on the speed of the ball!
The football was like a flash of lightning across Barcelona's penalty area. Everyone turned their heads to look and saw Valdés dive horizontally on the spot. He had just managed to block the ball with his arms.
He had no time to use his hands to hold the ball. He could not even execute his technical moves properly because the speed of the ball was too fast!
Seeing that the football was blocked and rebounded outside the penalty area, Puyol immediately turned to look and was horrified to find that Qin Xiong had raised his foot to stop the ball outside the penalty area!
It was another perfect stop. Although it was different from a high altitude stop, Qin Xiong's reaction and ability to control the ball in a flash were evident.
After Qin Xiong stopped the ball at his feet, Puyol saw that Qin Xiong had the tendency to shoot a long shot and immediately rushed up to block with his body!
But he did not expect that the moment he rushed up, Qin Xiong's toes would kick the ball forward.
Puyol's mind was roaring and he felt incredulous.
He had kicked the ball past him!
Puyol saw Qin Xiong rushing past him. Qin Xiong's calm eyes revealed a sharpness that made his heart turn cold!
Puyol did not have time to foul. He lost his center of gravity!
Qin Xiong's kick past him was unexpected. If it were any other player, they would have shot straight away!
Because the opportunity was good.
But he still made a choice that everyone thought was unimaginable but worth the risk.
The football bypassed Puyol's head and fell into the penalty area. Piqué was too far away to save him. Qin Xiong charged into the penalty area and Valdés left the goal. Five meters away from the football's landing point, Qin Xiong took the lead to touch the ball!
Qin Xiong did not stop the ball. Instead, he faced the falling football and shot the ball with the arch of his foot.
The football rolled past the right side of Valdés' body. He immediately stopped to make a save, but it was obviously too late!
The football went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal!
The new Wembley Stadium was suddenly in an uproar. The Red Army fans were relieved!
At the critical moment, Qin Xiong stood up again. This Red Army god of war was like a guardian angel!
After the goal was scored, Qin Xiong rushed to the side of the field with a domineering aura. He celebrated his goal by sliding to his knees.
"Liverpool equalized the score! Gerard's long shot was blocked by Valdés, and the ball that rebounded outside the penalty area fell right at Qin Xiong's feet.
Qin Xiong stopped the ball, flicked the ball past the opponent, and shot again, all in one go!
Even the experienced veteran Puyol had been defeated by Qin Xiong this time!
Qin Xiong was playing in the fifth UEFA Champions League final on behalf of the team, and he maintained the highlight performance of scoring in every UEFA Champions League final!
Now that Liverpool had equalized the score, the game was back to the starting point.
2:2！”
The Barcelona players were a little confused and flustered on the pitch.
The situation on the pitch made them more nervous than when they were behind in the score.
Because the passing control style of play that they were so proud of could not suppress Liverpool after it was used!
Especially when they were in the lead and mentally comfortable.
It made it impossible for them not to be a little shaken.
Was it right to continue playing like this?
Comain was extremely excited to be able to equalize the score from a 1: 2 deficit, and not be led by the nose by Barcelona on the field. Unlike Real Madrid's extreme counterattack, Liverpool appeared to be more aggressive and bold.
This meant that Liverpool's meticulous preparation for the second half of the season was effective.
Guardiola had his hands in his pockets on the sidelines. He did not expect Liverpool's midfield defense to put so much pressure on Barcelona. He might not have noticed the confusion and confusion of the Barcelona players on the pitch.
He needed to think, and thinking needed time.
But the game on the field waited for no one.
The game restarted, and Barcelona would not change for the time being until they found a new direction to adjust.
Because no matter what kind of change it was, it had to be based on a team.
Any individual self-righteous change could make the team's offense and defense become unbalanced.
This was a consensus among team teams.
The game continued, and Barcelona wanted to continue to compete with Liverpool in the midfield.
They sped up the passing rate of the football, and the full-backs boldly assisted to become the flank point. But they were wary of Liverpool's counterattack, and the full-backs did not dare to drive straight into the hinterland of the front field.
In the 41st minute of the game, Alves assisted from the right flank. After receiving Xavi's pass, he rushed forward along the right flank.
The defensive pressure on Baines suddenly increased, and Mascherano immediately assisted in the defense on this side of the flank.
When Alves passed the ball to Messi in the front field, Messi accurately crossed the ground and sent the ball to Iniesta's feet.
Iniesta dribbled towards the penalty area, and Alonso moved over to defend him.
At this time, Iniesta saw Pedro close to his side, so he completed a wall combination with Pedro.
After Pedro knocked the ball back to Iniesta, he quickly cut into the penalty area and rushed past Johnson. Iniesta wanted to complete a pass, but Mascherano interfered with him, causing Iniesta to make a mistake when he touched the ball.
The pass was a little big!
Reina came out first and plucked the ball out of the air before Pedro's header.
Reina hugged the football and ran forward. At this time, Alves was the most nervous. He had not retreated to the backfield, and behind him was the Red Army's killing god, Qin Xiong!
In terms of the starting position of offense and defense, Alves could not defend against Qin Xiong, which made him quite fearful.
Reina threw the ball diagonally to Johnson, who was running forward on the right flank.
After Johnson stopped the ball, he dribbled the ball forward two steps and directly passed the ball to Kuyt.
Kuyt took the lead on the flank of the front field and scurried forward. Before Abidal came to press him, he had a wide space to advance.
When Kuyt came to the front of the penalty area, he did a two-versus-one with Raúl. This time, he came to a position close to the end line before Abidal.
Immediately after, he passed the ball when he touched the ball!
It was a pass close to the ground, and Kuyt was more like a volley shot!
Raúl was marked by Piqué and Boots in the middle, while Puyol adapted to the situation at the back.
When the ball rolled over, Valdés could not leave the goal. He could not catch up, and neither could Puyol.
But Puyol saw Qin Xiong cut inside from the left flank of the penalty area into the penalty area!
Qin Xiong might seize the opportunity to finish the shot.
Puyol immediately adjusted his direction to try to block Qin Xiong.
After the football rolled over, Qin Xiong ran into position, but Qin Xiong did not finish the shot. Instead, he unexpectedly diagonally knocked the ball back to the top of the penalty area arc!
His choice of handling the ball caught the whole Barcelona team off guard!
