Messi scored goals in the last round of the league and did not go very smoothly, although it can be clearly seen that the whole Barcelona team is indeed helping Messi score goals.

However, Messi's shot today was not very smooth. He seemed to be too concerned about the goal, but he couldn't score.

In the ninth minute, Barcelona scored the first record and took the lead. But the scorer was not Messi, but...Butsques.

Of course, Buzquez is not trying to deliberately grab Messi's shooting opportunity.

This ball is a bit unexpected.

Messi shot after breaking into the penalty area. The football was saved by Real Betis' goalkeeper Espinosa. As a result, the football hit the knee of Busquez who rushed into the penalty area. With his knee, the football flew towards the goal like a cannonball, and then crashed into the empty goal...

Because the distance was too close, Buzques couldn't react at all, so he could only watch the football enter the goal.

After scoring the goal, he wanted to celebrate with reflexivity, but he soon thought that the ball should have been scored by Messi, so he restrained his urge to celebrate the goal. He shrugged Messi and signaled that he was helpless.

Messi shook his head and smiled, saying it was okay.

Although Messi seems indifferent on the surface, in fact, he is still a little bitter inside - it would be great if he scored this ball by himself, now it is only one goal away from Rong!

Then Messi continued to work hard to find a shot, trying to score again and again.

But he was unable to score until the end of the first half.

At the end of the first half, the score was 1:0, and Barcelona led the away game.

Messi did not score.

After the second half began, there was no difference between the first half. Barcelona controlled the football and put pressure on Real Betis' continuous attack.

But in the 53rd minute, the situation on the court suddenly changed.

Alves received a yellow card for a tackle, which was the second yellow card he received in this game...

So Alves was sent off with a red card!

"Ah! Alames was sent off. Barcelona is missing one person now, but Messi has not been able to score yet!"

Barcelona players surrounded the referee, but this did not change the fact that Alves was sent off.

After Alves was sent off with a red card, Barcelona, ​​who had one less person and only led one ball, had to adjust their tactical strategies, changing from previous offensive tactics to controlling ball tactics, and they attacked less frequently.

In this case, Messi's support is reduced and the possibility of scoring a goal is even smaller.

Manchester City fans and glory supporters mocked Messi on social networks.

In the 71st minute, Ruvan Castro equalized the score for Real Betis. Barcelona is really adding insult to injury now.

Just four minutes later, Ruvan Castro scored twice, helping Real Betis take the lead at home.

At this time, there were cheers from Real Betis fans, and some people shouting glorious names to stimulate and humiliate Messi.

When the close-up shot of the TV broadcast was given to the Barcelona players, many people were confused, as if they were stunned. They didn't take Real Betis to heart at all before the game. Since they could no longer win the league championship, they would do their best to help Messi score a goal.

As for the victory or defeat against Real Betis?

They didn't think about it at all, because they would definitely win.

But unexpectedly, the game developed to this point, with one less person and one goal behind the score!

Such a game really exceeded their previous expectations.

But when the close-up shot of the TV broadcast was given to Messi's face, everyone was surprised to find that Messi's eyes were completely different from his teammates, full of fighting spirit, and sharply like two knives.

He seemed to have thrown away the pressure of "The whole team will help you score goals. If you can't win, will you be worthy of your teammates?" Now the game has become simple - try hard to score goals, and then let the team win the game!

In the 80th minute, Messi made a beautiful cooperation with Gao Lin at the front of the penalty area. He passed the football to Gao Lin, and then suddenly cut inside and entered the penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Gao Lin did not turn around or shoot, but instead inserted the ball into Messi's running route into the penalty area!

After Messi entered the penalty area, he happened to receive a pass from Gao Lin. He made a fake move to shoot, knocked down the player who was blocking Real Betis in front of him, and then shot again.

The football drilled through the gap between the goalkeeper and the near post and rolled into the goal!

"Messi! He helped Barcelona equalize the score! At the same time, this is his 73rd goal this season! He is only one goal away from Rong!"

"Messi finally scored a goal! A beautiful cooperation, high pass was very hidden, and Messi's forward insertion was also very firm! This is the normal Messi!"

The Catalan narrator was very excited.

"Messi! Messi! Messi!! The 73rd goal! Only one goal away! He will tie the team with another goal! Come on, Messi!!"

※※※

After scoring the goal, all the pressure was released, and Messi performed even better later.

Before, he was like a chain turned into pressure and entangled with his feet, but now he is like a bird flying freely.

In the 90th minute, Messi finally scored another goal.

"Seventy-fourth! He tied Rong! The tenacious Messi! Beautiful!! Awesome!"

Although he scored 74 goals, Messi was not happy because he has only tied the glory now. With his understanding of glory, it is absolutely not enough to tie the glory.

So he still wants to keep scoring.

But there is not much time left for him.

Although the injury time lasted for as long as four minutes, Messi was unable to continue scoring the goal in the game.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Messi's face was not very happy. He lowered his head, and his expression was even a little gloomy.

The commentators certainly know why Messi performed like this.

He still has the last game left? But he is only tying Rongguang now. But Rongguang still has two games left.

People can completely expand the gap through these two games.

So Messi is indeed not at the time to be happy yet.

The Catalan commentator was also feeling sorry for Messi: "Messi's form did not come out until the final stage of the game, which was a bit too late. If he could get into the form earlier, the situation might be completely different..."

But now it seems more like hindsight.

In an interview with the post-match mixing zone, Messi also talked about his slow entry into the game, but when a reporter asked him whether he was slow entry into the game because he was under too much pressure, he denied it.

"...Rong's goal won't put pressure on me, because I know his ability very well. I have always followed my own pace..."

But how convincing his words are to the reporters.

※※※

Rongguang really didn't watch Messi's game, and even the scores and Messi's goals in this game were told by his teammates the next day.

"Hi, Rong Messi scored twice in yesterday's game and tied you." Sneider said to Rong Guang on the bus to Manchester City Stadium.

But his tone didn't sound anxious at all.

Rongguang was a little surprised: "He didn't have a hat trick or something?"

"Of course not. In fact, he performed quite mediocrely before the 75th minute of that game. He only started to exert force when there were twenty minutes left in the game. It was not easy to be able to score two goals..."

It sounds like Sneijder is more concerned about this than Rongguang, and he obviously watched the game.

Rong Guang nodded repeatedly after hearing this. If you want to compete for the number of goals, the earlier you can score in the game, the more beneficial it will be.

Unexpectedly, Messi started to exert force with twenty minutes left in the game, which was indeed too late.

"So he's just tied you now. You just scored a goal in a short game and you can continue to lead." This is why Sneed was not anxious about Rongguang at all. He knew Rongguang's strength. Messi took such great effort to tie Rongguang. So what else can Rongguang worry about?

※※※

When the bus that Manchester City team took on arrived at Manchester City Stadium, countless fans and reporters had gathered there. The fans came to cheer for the glory and celebrate the team's three consecutive league championships.

At this time, the reporters just want to interview Rongguang.

When Rongguang walked off the bus, there were huge cheers sounded, all from the fans. The reporters rushed forward desperately, putting the microphones in front of Rongguang, and then scrambling to raise their questions.

But the scene was too noisy, so Rongguang just made a gesture of "I can't hear clearly" to these reporters, and continued to walk towards the passage without stopping.

The reporters' attempt to interview Rong Guang was shattered.

※※※

Unlike Rongguang, who said he would not watch Messi's game, Messi was already sitting in front of the TV at this time and was preparing to watch Manchester City's last round of home match against Queens Park Rangers.

In fact, he knew very well that Rongguang could not score a goal in this game, but Messi was lucky at this moment, thinking that perhaps Rongguang would be restricted from death by the opponent in this game? Perhaps Rongguang's condition was not good in this game? Perhaps Rongguang did not wear shooting boots in this game?

Anyway, football is round.
