The referee insisted on refereeing the penalty, but Barcelona did not get the penalty, which made them a little unhappy.

However, this free kick is actually very threatening. Moreover, in order to defend Messi, Kompani also received a yellow card, which will inevitably affect his subsequent defense.

So even if we didn't "get" the penalty kick, Barcelona still made a profit.

Messi did not give the free kick to others, but chose to do it himself.

He wanted to score a goal too much.

However, although the football he shot bypassed the human wall, it flew high above the beam.

There is no goal that can threaten Manchester City.

Watching the football fly out of the crossbar, Messi waved his hands hard, looking very upset.

But he was just upset and quickly turned around and ran back.

Through this attack, he has actually found Manchester City's weakness.

That's Kompani.

Kompani, who has a yellow card, will definitely have some concerns in defense. As long as he continues to break through from him, he will either let Kompani get a red card and let Barcelona have the advantage in terms of numbers. Or he will take advantage of the opportunity that Kompani dares to do his best to defend, and directly break into the penalty area and complete the shot.

In any case, it is beneficial to Barcelona.

※※※

After the game started again, it was indeed the case. Not only Messi realized that Kompany was Manchester City's weakness, but other Barcelona players also regarded Kompany as their weakness. So now Barcelona's offense is all focused on Kompany. Whether it is Messi, Gao Lin, or Pedro, they are all changing positions to attack Kompany.

Kompani was indeed affected by that yellow card. Faced with the concentrated attacks of Barcelona players, he seemed a little restrained, which also led to Manchester City's defense being very passive.

On several occasions, because Kompani did not dare to make moves, Barcelona attacked the attack to a dangerous area.

If it weren't for other Manchester City players' desperate attempt to fill the table, Manchester City's goal would have been declared lost.

For a moment, Manchester City seemed very embarrassed in defense.

Manchester City fans in the stands and in front of the TV were also very worried.

"Kompani obviously can't hold on anymore. He has become the weakest man in Manchester City's team. I think Manchester City should make a substitution immediately at this time, and replace Kompani..." John Motterson said anxiously.

At this time, the TV broadcast also cut to Manchester City's bench, and Godin had already rushed to the warm-up area, and it was obvious that he had gone to warm up.

"I'm just going to let Godin warm up now... Benitez's reaction to this decision to substitute is too slow!" Alan Hansen criticized mercilessly.

"After all, this season, Kompany and Lucio cooperated a lot. They are Manchester City's main central defenders. If it were not forbidden, Benitez would definitely not want to break up this pair of central defenders..." John Motson explained for Benitez.

"In the Champions League final, facing a team like Barcelona, ​​a central defender has a yellow card, and this is the last resort." Alan Hansen snorted. "It will take at least three to five minutes to warm up, right? At this time, what if Barcelona finally opens the gap from Kompany and finally scores the goal?"

After saying that, Alan Hansen turned his attention to Kompany.

In fact, not only him, but everyone else also focused their attention on Kompani at this time.

See if he can block Barcelona's stormy offensive...

Now even people who don’t understand football can see this game. Kompany has become the target of Barcelona’s key attack. As long as Barcelona attacks, they will inevitably find Kompany.

Manchester City also made corresponding adjustments, that is, to ask more players to help Kompany wipe her butt. When he was reluctant to do something because he was restricted, other defensive players would help Kompany defend.

But this also comes at a price.

Manchester City's left back Leiden Barnes fouled for helping Kompany fill the spot in defense and also received a yellow card.

Now that the game has been in 67 minutes, two people on Manchester City's defense have already been given yellow cards, which is definitely not good news.

Le Barnes also had to constrain his defense...

"It's so tragic. Leiden Barnes also received a yellow card. I think if the game continues like this, Barcelona may defeat Manchester City by points. When everyone on Manchester City's defense line has a yellow card, Manchester City will definitely lose!"

Godin has returned to the sidelines after three minutes of warm-up, and Benitez's assistant coach Mauricio Pellegrino is giving him face-to-face advice.

Actually, there is nothing to say, just replace Kompani after going up, which will play the role Kompani should play.

So soon Godin appeared on the sidelines with the fourth official, waiting to appear.

The most embarrassing period of Manchester City is about to pass. After Goding, the new force, is replaced, it will greatly change the current situation of Manchester City being passively beaten.

In other words, Barcelona's great opportunity to regain the lead will soon be gone.

But Barcelona has their way.

Barcelona, ​​known for their excellent control of the ball, saw that Manchester City wanted to substitution and immediately began to fall in the middle and backcourt. They suddenly didn't rush to punch the point where Kompany was.

Instead, he slowly dealt with Manchester City, looking for opportunities in the process of falling back and forth, striving to kill with one blow.

When they return possession to Manchester City, it will be time for them to take the lead again.

Even if Godin changed it at that time, it would be meaningless.

So for three minutes, Godin took three minutes on the sidelines with the fourth official. Barcelona did not let the ball go out of bounds. They passed back and forth, running, and let the football be within their control from beginning to end.

During these three minutes, Manchester City also tried to grab the ball from the Barcelona players and then kick the football out of bounds, giving Godin a chance to play.

But after trying twice, they not only did not grab the ball, but almost conceded the ball, so they immediately became honest.

Now they can only expect Barcelona to make a pass mistake.

Two more minutes have passed, and the game is already the 73rd minute.

The opportunity waiting for Barcelona is gradually coming.

Because of Kompany's injury, Manchester City had been in a passive state of being beaten before. In order to wipe Kompany's butt, their players had to run more actively and more than before. In this way, their physical energy consumption would naturally be more than usual.

About 75 minutes of a game is a watershed of physical strength. It is the time when many teams have the most difficult physical fitness. If they can get through it, they may be able to hold on until overtime in one go, but if they can't get through it, they may collapse!

Barcelona is waiting for Manchester City to collapse. At that time, as long as they work harder, they can find the opportunity to defeat Manchester City.

Guardiola is very clear that this is the Champions League final and cannot expect Barcelona to beat their opponent three or four goals like they are playing in a group stage. Just win one goal in the final is enough.

As long as he can take the lead, he will immediately let the team enter a special defensive posture for Barcelona, ​​use their ball control advantages to firmly control the football under his feet, and spend the game time every minute and second.

In the 74th minute, Manchester City defenders were already exhausted when they were running - they were mobilized by Barcelona's pass, and the players' movement speed was slowing down.

As the team's brain, Xavi believes that the time to launch a fatal blow is ripe. But passing alone cannot completely break through Manchester City's defense.

Barcelona also needs a sharp knife and dagger, which is sharp enough to penetrate the heart of Manchester City, as easy as cutting butter.

Fortunately, there is Messi in Barcelona.

This is the sharpest dagger in the world!

After Xavi received the pass, he passed the ball to Iniesta, who was walking to receive the ball. Xavi, who had passed the ball, didn't even see how Iniesta was. He turned his head and turned his eyes to Messi on the right.

Messi is on the right side, in the position where everyone is most familiar with each other.

Harvey's mind has already outlined a "Messi Corridor".

He knew Messi was ready.

At this time, Nesta passed the football back to Xavi.

Xavi did not stop the ball at all, turned around and passed the ball to Messi!

Messi received the ball and made a fake move to break through the bottom line on the side. Leiden Barnes took a step back, and then he used his right foot to thrust the ball into the inside, then turned around and cut inside!

"Messi is here!" John Motterson screamed.

This sound attracted the hearts of many Manchester City fans in front of the TV.

Now what Manchester City fans are most afraid of is Messi getting the ball. After he gets the ball, he seems to be able to do anything, as if the whole Manchester City team can't stop him...

After Messi cut inside, Matuidi quickly posted it up, trying to stop Messi.

Messi didn't mean to dribble him, or Messi didn't intend to waste time on Matuidi at all.

He used his left foot to thrust the ball to the outside and passed it to Harvey.

He himself bypassed Matuidi and continued to walk in the middle.

After receiving the ball, Xavi did not stop the football. He observed Messi's running position while receiving the ball. He had to make sure that his pass and Messi's running position were the right time, either early or late. Messi could not catch it early and made a mistake in passing; Messi had to slow down or even turn around to catch the ball, which would make Messi's breakthrough no longer sharp and would even fall back into the siege of Manchester City players.

So this seemingly simple match between hitting the wall is actually very particular.

In Xavi's eyes, there were only Messi and Matuidi at this time. He watched Messi turn around and go around Matuidi. From his perspective, he just saw Messi's head exposed from the other side of Matuidi's shoulder.

With his experience in cooperating with Messi, he knew that this was the time to pass the ball!

So he quickly raised his left foot and kicked the football!

But he kicked it for nothing!

He didn't get the ball!

"Rong--!!!" John Motterson roared wildly with a long voice.

Not only him, but the entire Wembley Stadium is also shouting the name of glory together.

“ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG!!!”

Harvey glanced out of the corner of his eyes, and Rong Guang leaned against the turf, made a tackle move, and then shoveled the ball away from his feet...

It was only then that he suddenly realized what he had ignored before.
Chapter completed!
