#1064 is exhausted
With one less person and one goal behind the score, Barcelona was forced into a desperate situation.
Originally, some of Barcelona's players had the idea of defending the draw and playing penalty shootout, but now, even if there is one core player, Barcelona must attack.
Barcelona's two full-backs Puyol and Abidal have helped the midfielder before starting, especially Puyol, who has already reached the winger's position.
Manchester United welcomed Puyol's front pressure. When they counterattacked, they beat Puyol hard behind him, allowing Nani to cut across to challenge Barcelona's central defender, and create opportunities for their midfielders to grab the penalty.
Barcelona is also fully prepared for this. After Puyol stepped forward, Busques retreated to the center to share the task of the central defender, allowing Mascherano to defend Nani.
This move is very effective. Mascherano is fast and turns quickly, and his feet are fierce. Nani can't break through Mascherano's defense with his own strength alone.
At this time, Nani's choice was not smart enough. He seemed to be competing with Mascherano. After counterattacking in the backcourt, he was determined to beat Mascherano, but he always couldn't get over it. Then he was destroyed by Mascherano or intercepted the ball and hit a counterattack.
In the 100th minute of the game, Manchester United defended Barcelona's attack. Fletcher passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong Xavi and Villa's counter-attack gave the ball to Scholes. Scholes made a long pass to Barcelona's right. Nani received the ball and quickly penetrated into Barcelona's penalty area.
Mascherano was once again stuck on the way to Nani waiting for Nani to arrive.
Although Nani failed to break through many times against Mascherano, Nani still remained confident. He moved sideways, made a move to the sideways, and then spiked the ball towards the bottom line.
Nani's two movements were very coherent, but Mascherano was not fooled. He followed closely and was not thrown away by Nani in a single step.
Nani had no choice but to dunk the ball back and break through horizontally.
There is a problem with three extraordinary moves. Not to mention that the defensive players are about to catch up, even Mascherano also mastered Nani's breakthrough rhythm. When Nani spiked the ball again, Mascherano decisively snatched up and poked Nani's ball off.
Puyol has been rushing back desperately. When Mascherano was destroying, he finally arrived and passed the ball to Busques in the middle before Gao Xiaodong.
Busques had already figured out what to do before receiving the ball. After the ball came, he did not rush to get the ball. He used a Marseille swing, drifted past Rooney from the back of the side, and then passed the ball to Xavi, and quickly stepped forward by himself.
Busques' former pressure forced Manchester United's two wings to move closer to the middle, blocking Barcelona's attack in Manchester United's middle.
This is Manchester United's usual trick to deal with Barcelona when passively. Giving up both sides and striking the middle lane is to bully Barcelona's lack of ability to grab high points in the middle lane.
However, this time Barcelona is obviously prepared. Busques, Xavi and Iniesta have been infiltrated in the middle, suppressing Manchester United's Scholes, Fletcher and the back line to the penalty area and the penalty area.
Xavi went to Pedro to find Pedro at the side, and Pedro returned to Iniesta. Iniesta dribbled the ball and quickly penetrated into the ribs in the penalty area. After encountering defense, he passed the ball back to the midfield to find Xavi.
At this time, Gao Xiaodong had already returned to the front of the penalty area. He quickly came over to press Xavi, preventing Xavi from controlling the ball and passing the ball.
When Xavi received the ball, he had a clear understanding of the situation on the court. Before Gao Xiaodong arrived, Xavi made a diagonal pass and hit Villa again.
At this time, before Busques went back, Pique had already quickly inserted it. Villa decisively passed the ball into the penalty area, looking for Pique and Busques who were in front of the ball.
Busquez doesn't have any ability to get ahead. He just acts like he wants to attract Pique's firepower. The main offensive point is Pique.
Pique is a forward on the back line. He has complete striker skills and a forward heart. His forward insertion poses great threat to Manchester United. Vidic jumps to mark Pique at the first time, while Ferdinand goes to defend Busquez.
Villa's cross was very accurate. Vidic was at a disadvantage while fighting and was grabbed by Pique.
Since Vidic was right in front of Pique, it was difficult for Pique to push forward and push towards the goal when he got the landing point. Pique cleverly flew the ball to the back point to find Pedro.
Barcelona's counterattack was very patient, even if Manchester United's frontcourt players came back, they were not in a hurry to attack. This time they finally found an opportunity. Pedro used his flexibility to top the ball towards the front of the penalty area before Abidal.
Gao Xiaodong is defending Xavi, and Rooney has not come back because he is a bridgehead for defense against the counter-attack. Iniesta was empty, and Pedro is looking for Iniesta.
Facing the incoming ball in the air, Iniesta did not stop the ball. He adjusted slightly and volleyed directly at the air with his right foot.
This kick reminded countless Barcelona fans and Manchester United fans of the scene where Iniesta defeated Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
At that time, Barcelona and Chelsea played 0:0 at the Camp Nou. Chelsea scored the first goal at Stamford Bridge Stadium. Iniesta volleyed with a volley to tie Chelsea, and eliminated Chelsea with a away goal to advance to the final.
Some people also remembered the South African World Cup. In the overtime period, Xiaobai volleyed and defeated the Netherlands with a volley, winning the first World Cup championship for Spain.
Xiaobai Iniesta is the creator of miracles!
In an instant, the air on the field seemed to solidify, and all eyes were focused on Iniesta and the ball.
The ball drew a graceful arc and passed through the penalty area and flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal.
Van der Sar had just moved to the left of the goal when Pique headed the ball. Iniesta happened to hit the opposite direction. Van der Sar didn't have time to turn around, so he tried his best to break out of the goal line to intercept, but it was difficult to reach.
Seeing the ball fly towards the goal, Barcelona fans and players were already excited to applaud, but the ball bounced and bounced out on the post.
"Hold the grass!"
"What a pity Xiaobai!"
"That's a pity!"
The Barcelona players sighed in great frustration. The Barcelona fans were so angry that they stamped their feet and beat their chests, complaining about God's injustice.
Manchester United fans hugged each other and were glad that they had survived the disaster. It is conceivable that if the ball scored and Barcelona defended the penalty shootout, Manchester United's mentality would be unbalanced, and they would probably be in danger.
The live commentator He Hui also sighed: "Xiaobai's final kill is not effective. The luck is on Manchester United's side, and it seems that Barcelona has exhausted their energy!"
Manchester United players didn't have time to be glad. After the ball popped out, everyone ran to the landing point desperately, trying to clear the ball out as soon as possible.
Manchester United were lucky, and the ball bounced to the side. When Puyol got the ball, Evra used a foul to knock Puyol down, ending Barcelona's attack.
In overtime, Manchester United, who had one more player, was unable to control the situation on the court, and almost equalized the score by Barcelona. Ferguson was very annoyed. He felt that the problem lies in Nani. Although Nani's personal skills are good, Nani is too rigid in offensive choices and lacks a view of the overall situation.
