When Liverpool began to control the pace of the game, Barcelona's attitude in the game completely lost its rationality.
In the 82nd minute of the game, Liverpool passed the ball back and forth in the midfield. Barcelona could not disrupt Liverpool's rhythm by relying only on the attacking group in the midfield.
As a result, their midfielders also pressed forward to encircle and suppress.
Gerard passed the ball to Qin Xiong who had moved to the flank under the encirclement of Bouzquez, Xavi, and Iniesta. Alves and Puyol immediately rushed up to form a joint defense.
Qin Xiong stood just past the halfway mark. He had no intention of breaking through at all. Instead, he sent out a diagonal kick that was close to the ground.
The football rolled between Alves and Puyol. The two men turned their heads to look and saw the football close to the turf and roll quickly to the space behind Piqué. It also had a certain arc.
Kuyt rushed straight past Piqué from the right side.
It was too late for Piqué to turn around to block!
He went in alone!
When Kuyt drove the ball to the penalty area, Valdés abandoned the goal and went out.
At this time, all the fans in the stands of the new Wembley Stadium were nervous.
The Red Army fans firmly believed that if Kuyt scored this goal, then he would kill the game!
The Barcelona fans were praying. Don't go in!
If he went in, Barcelona would have no chance!
In the nick of time, Kuyt decisively chose to shoot. The position of Valdés' attack this time was not too problematic. Both the near and far corners had the potential to be blocked, but he could not block the blind spots.
Kuyt chose the near corner of the goal and directly kicked the goal!
Valdés did not make a save because it was impossible for him to touch the football.
He turned his head to look in the direction of the football and only heard a bang!
The football hit the outside of the goalpost and bounced out of the end line.
The Barcelona fans in the stands breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear. However, their nervousness did not dissipate. After all, Barcelona was still two goals behind.
The Red Army fans' expressions were as incredulous as Kuyt's. Some even grabbed their own hair and did not realize that their hairstyle was a mess.
"Kuyt missed a chance to kill Barcelona! He could have been a hero, but his one-handed shot ended up hitting the goalpost. He was very decisive, but unfortunately, he didn't control his footwork well. "
Guardiola swallowed his saliva and immediately gestured to the players on the field to immediately forget about the dangerous situation and quickly throw themselves into a new round of attack!
Liverpool failed to seize the opportunity to kill Barcelona, and Barcelona immediately launched a frenzied offensive.
Liverpool's entire team retreated and almost all of them retreated to the other half of the field. Barcelona's offensive was frenzied. The whole team pressed forward, but they did not blindly attack. They still patiently passed the ball around the periphery.
With so many people coming up to participate in the attack, there would not be a situation where the ball could not be sent out if they quickly passed the ball.
But this required Barcelona to be more careful. Once they lost the ball in the front field, Liverpool's counterattack would give Barcelona a painful blow.
In the 85th minute of the game, after Barcelona quickly tore Liverpool's defensive line back and forth horizontally in the front field, Alves received Messi's pass from the right flank after he cut across the middle.
Liverpool's defensive line quickly retreated into the penalty area, and Alves swept the ball towards the goal area with a powerful cross.
Agger used a flying tackle to break the siege, but Alves' pass was so powerful that Agger's right foot touched the football, but the football flew towards Liverpool's goal!
Fortunately, the ball flew towards Reina, but it also caught Reina off guard. He subconsciously blocked the ball with his calf.
The football rebounded into the penalty area, and Messi, who cut into the penalty area, wanted to kick the ball into the goal.
But the confrontation between him and Skrtel eventually caused the football to refract continuously in the penalty area.
The rebounded football hit Alonso. Alonso wanted to control the ball, but the football, which was two meters away from him, was swept to the ground by a Barcelona player and kicked towards Liverpool's goal!
David Villa!
The football was swept into the bottom left corner of the goal!
The new Wembley stadium was filled with cheers. The Barcelona fans waved their fists and shouted loudly. They believed that a miracle was happening!
The Red Army fans were very depressed. They did not expect the team to concede a goal at this time!
"Wow, wow! Barcelona gets a goal back! The continuous strong attacks created chaos in Liverpool's penalty area, and David Villa seized the opportunity to send the ball into Liverpool's goal!
There are still five minutes to go before the end of the game, and Barcelona is now 4: 5 behind. Will a miracle happen? Can Barcelona drag Liverpool into overtime?
Is Liverpool regretting their conservative play now? "
Regret?
Not really.
The tense atmosphere in the new Wembley stadium made people forget all their emotions.
Comain pulled up his trousers on the sidelines with a serious expression.
At this time, he gestured to his assistant manager, Sammy Lee.
Substitution!
"Liverpool has played the second substitution card. Meireles is coming on as a substitute. The striker, Kuyt, is being substituted!"
Kuyt looked a little helpless when he came off the field. His heart was full of anxiety.
The current situation was that Liverpool was only leading by one goal.
If he had seized the opportunity of that one-on-one ball, then Liverpool would have killed the game!
Now he was going to be substituted.
After Meireles came on, he strengthened the midfield defense and Qin Xiong played as the lone striker.
Comain's substitution was really helpless.
In this game, Liverpool had already scored five goals against Barcelona. In contrast, their opponents had scored four goals.
It could be said that Liverpool's defensive line and Barcelona's defensive line were blown to pieces!
This reflected a problem.
Liverpool's rear defensive line was indeed not the best in Europe. Liverpool's next stage of improvement and improvement would undoubtedly be the rear defensive line!
But this was all for another day.
The most important thing now was that Liverpool had to seize the opportunity to successfully defend their Champions League title!
After Liverpool restarted the ball, Barcelona pressed forward like a pack of wolves and tigers to counterattack.
The pace of the game was simply out of Liverpool's control.
But Liverpool had not yet fallen into a state of panic.
Two years of success in a row had tempered Liverpool's heart.
Moreover, the score was still in the lead. They did not have to panic at all.
They passed the ball back to the full back's feet.
When Baines was in possession of the ball, Messi came to press. Baines and Tiote carried out a one-two combination and rushed forward. Messi did not press like a shadow. He still had to wait for the opportunity and be ready for Barcelona's attack at any time.
But Barcelona had to have someone to press, which allowed Barcelona's formation to press forward, and the gap in their backfield was getting bigger and bigger!
