The green devil

I don't know if it's because of the loss at home last time, or because the time to win the championship is very close, Barcelona is extremely excited today.

After the kick-off, Barcelona pressed forward frantically. After 3 minutes, Barcelona's defense line directly pressed to the center circle, launching a half-court siege against the Spaniard.

The Spaniard is also an offensive lineup today.

With Barcelona's strong attack, the Spaniard's defense became very difficult.

In the 4th minute, Mascherano suddenly dribbled forward from the middle circle.

The striker Caicedo in the middle chased after him, but he failed to catch up.

Mascherano moved past Asensio and continued forward.

Let Mascherano continue to move forward, it is bound to disrupt the Spaniard's defense.

Espanyol midfielder Perez ran from the left and gave Mascherano a sliding tackle from the rear.

Mascherano was too late to dodge and was shoveled to the ground by Perez.

The referee immediately took out a yellow card and warned Perez, who was shoveling.

Less than 5 minutes into the game, the Espanyol player received a yellow card.

This is Espanyol's home ground and the Espanyol fans are very annoyed.

"Black whistle! Black whistle!"

The fans shouted and put pressure on the referee.

At this time, Mascherano was still rolling on the ground, and the medical staff outside the court rushed to the field and carried Mascherano out on a stretcher for emergency treatment.

The Barcelona players were dissatisfied that Perez only received a yellow card, and they also came over to put pressure on the referee.

The referee ignored the pressure from the Espanyol fans and Barcelona players, and calmly signaled the game to continue.

Barcelona's free kick was far from the goal and could not be shot directly. When Messi took the penalty, Barcelona sent players to the penalty area to compete for the header.

A free kick was taken, Pique, the only high-altitude threat, failed to grab the landing point, and the ball was taken by the Spaniard goalkeeper Allauskis.

Alauskis quickly threw the ball and launched a counterattack.

Barcelona's defense was very tight, the ball was thrown into the midfield, and before a few passes, the ball was cut off by Rakitic, and Barcelona continued to besiege the Spaniard.

At this time, there was a commotion in the Barcelona fan area in the stands.

Some fans chanted that Atletico Madrid scored a goal.

It turned out that in another championship match that started at the same time, Atletico Madrid scored in 1 minute, leading Levante 1:0.

Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have the same points. If Atletico Madrid wins, they will surpass Barcelona in the standings.

The Barcelona players also heard the news and played more aggressively.

In the 7th minute of the game, after passing continuously outside, the ball reached Messi's feet.

Messi received the ball, a "Matthews sinking shoulders", then turned around, tricked Diop who was marking him, and went straight to the penalty area with the ball.

Diop was passed too easily, the Spaniard's central defender had no time to encircle, and Alvarez had to come over and intercept Messi himself.

Messi dribbled the ball and changed direction continuously, quickly approaching the penalty area line.

At the front of the penalty area, Messi's shooting efficiency is very high.

Alvarez had to stay close to Messi to prevent him from shooting suddenly.

Seeing Alvarez approaching, Messi flicked the ball and rushed into the penalty area.

Alvarez quickly moved laterally to intercept.

Messi smashed the ball and changed direction, again overtaking from the other side of Alvarez.

Alvarez can no longer move his body, but he can't watch Messi rush into the penalty area.In desperation, he reached out and grabbed Messi's jersey.

Messi's jersey was pulled, but he still tried to move forward, trying to get rid of the defense.

Alvarez's grip was tight, and Messi was pulled directly on his back on the turf.

This is an undoubted yellow card action!

Messi was lying on the ground with open arms, signaling that the opponent had fouled and he was wronged.

Although the Spaniard fans saw Messi being pulled down, they still shouted there, "Dive and flop!"

The referee is a very assertive person and ignored the external pressure. Alvarez was given another yellow card and a direct free kick was awarded.

This free kick is almost 26 meters away from the goal, which is within Messi's range.

Although Messi sub-Barcelona has the absolute power to take the penalty kick, but Messi is very humble, he first went to Suarez, whether he wants to play.

Now not only Barcelona is going to compete for the championship, but Suarez is also going to compete with Zhao Yang for the top scorer.

As a compatriot and confidant, Messi naturally hopes that Suarez will be the top scorer.

However, Suarez did not agree. He wanted to compete for the Golden Boot, but it is more important for Barcelona to compete for the championship.

Suarez did not take the free kick, but left the ball to Messi, who was more sure.

Messi stood in front of the ball, stepped back to measure the run-up distance, waited for the Spaniard to line up the wall, and waited for the referee to blow his whistle.

beep!

The referee blew his whistle.

Messi ran up to the ball, kicked a curve ball with his left foot very lightly, bypassed the jumping wall, and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

The Spanish goalkeeper Arlauskis judged Messi's intentions, but the angle of Messi's shot was too tricky, which was an absolute dead end.

Araukis failed to touch the ball, and the ball flew into the goal against the angle between the crossbar and the post.

After the goal, Messi opened his arms and celebrated enthusiastically with his teammates.

1:0

In the opening 7 minutes, Barcelona led the Spaniard with Messi's free kick.

"Messi! Messi!" The on-site commentator He Wei also had to sigh: "Beautiful free kick! Messi's free kick is getting better and better! Such a great genius is still improving!"

Fang Jian said with emotion: "This is still making people alive! Made this free kick and scored it himself! This is personal ability! Simply, it wasn't Suarez who scored."

He Wei said objectively: "Although Zhao Yang scored the most goals, compared with Messi, Zhao Yang's ability is still much worse."

Fang Jian said: "Zhao Yang is still young, and he is making continuous progress."

Since the Spaniard has no performance pressure, Messi's goal has no effect on them. The Spaniard fans in the stands did not boo, but when the Barcelona fans cheered, they followed up and shouted, "Zhao Yang! Go one! Zhao Yang! Go one!" ..."

Zhao Yang heard the shouts of the fans, he also wanted to score one, two would be better, but Barcelona controlled the ball and the Spaniard had very few chances to attack.

And because Barcelona's defense line is pressed very forward, the defense line is more aggressive, and it is difficult for Zhao Yang to have a chance to get the ball.

After Barcelona scored a goal, they still continued to dominate the offense on the field.

The Spaniard was still forced to shrink in his own half-court defense.

The 10th minute of the game.

Messi pulls to the right and cooperates with Alba.

When Messi goes to the side, the Spaniard's defensive force goes to the side.

Messi vigilantly saw the emptiness of the Spaniard's middle, and he immediately sent a through ball to find Suarez.

Suarez went straight into the penalty area and hit the goal with a small angle on the inside of his right foot.

This time the Spaniard's goalkeeper Allogis performed well and stretched his leg to block the ball.

Iniesta followed up with a supplementary shot and was blocked.

Then Rakitic made a supplementary shot in front of the goal, but the referee ruled that Rakitic was offside first and the goal was invalid.
