There has never been a more solemn presence at the Barcelona training ground, with several bigwigs and future bigwigs standing together to be educated by Rijkaard.

Deco, Xavi, Iniesta, Edmilson, and Van Bommel all listened attentively.

Against Manchester United, the midfield they build will be the most crucial part of the game.

Behind them, Ronaldinho is standing in front of the penalty area and playing with Valdés, seemingly practicing set-pieces?

The lazy sun fell on Ronaldinho, who yawned from time to time and finally sat lazily on the turf, looking tired and sleepy.

As for Barcelona's future Messi, he is tossing the ball further away, and he is surrounded by several young players of the Barcelona echelon, such as Sergio Busquets and dos Santos, Bojan and so on. The teenager didn't know what it was like to be sad, and a few people were still having a good time.

"Cousin, will you play tomorrow?"

"I don't know, maybe." Messi is still seriously playing the ball, and he is eager to play in the second leg, but it depends on Rijkaard's decision.

With a slight injury in the first leg, Rijkaard put him on the bench and later brought him on and almost changed the outcome.

Now that his injury is healed, he hopes Rijkaard will be able to follow the will and send him on the pitch......

"You're going to start." Bojan raised his green head and looked at Messi adoringly. Bojan and Messi are cousins, Messi Jr. is 3 years old, and he has always worked hard with Messi as his goal, and now Messi's records in all echelons have been rewritten by Bojan, and he hopes that one day he can be as strong as Messi in Barcelona's first-team lineup.

"Hehe......" Messi just smiled and didn't say anything.

"By all of me, get the 9th down and you'll be done......" Busquets muttered quietly, but his voice was smaller than that of mosquitoes, and only he could hear it. At a young age, his mind is already very weird......

※※※※

An hour later, Rijkaard announced Barcelona's starting line-up.

In terms of lineup, Barcelona has not changed much compared to the first leg, except that Deco replaced Van Bommel with the average player. The regular trident of Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto'o and Giuli remains up front, with the good news being that Larsson is available off the bench after injury.

Deco and Xavi both returned from injury, with Deco coming into the starting line-up to replace Edmilson, while Xavi was on the bench.

At present, Puyol, Marcos and Van Bommel all have yellow cards in the Barcelona team, and if they are unfortunate enough to be yellow in this game, they will repeat the scene of the Champions League '92 semi-final against Benfica and miss the Wembley final. Rijkaard downplayed the issue: "It's true that they may be out of the final, but they're the kind of people who don't foul a lot. They don't need to think about that, they just have to focus on the game. We hope that no one will be suspended for yellow cards when we arrive in Paris. ”

Coach Rijkaard remains low-key as ever: "I know our fans are already dreaming of the final, but now the second leg has not yet been played, so there is no room for optimism. Personally, I feel that this fight is less difficult to prepare for than the first leg, both tactically and psychologically. Manchester United and Chelsea? No, I don't agree with that, it's two different knockouts, two different opponents. ”

On Deco's comeback, Rijkaard commented: "Deco's return is good news, he's important for the team. We will be stronger because of him, and we have nothing to worry about. ”

Messi was disappointed, there was no him in the starting lineup, Barcelona still did not have his real place in the most critical game, no matter how good he performed in the game, Barcelona still belonged to the world of gods.

Rijkaard has not lost at Camp Nou in Europe since taking charge of Barcelona in 2003. A win over Manchester United would see Barcelona win 220 games in Europe, one more than Real Madrid, and 14 more finals than Juventus, just two behind Real Madrid to become the second-...... in Europe

…… Yes, if you look at the numbers, Barcelona really don't have any reason to lose at home to Manchester United. Ronaldinho, who has already confirmed his appearance, said in his pre-match press conference: "We want to make our own history. ”

"Winning the Champions Cup is the beginning of building a historic team." Ronaldinho elevated the match to historic heights from the start, "We have prepared the game meticulously. Our team-mates know this is a great opportunity to write a new chapter in the club's history and we don't want to waste it. That's why we're looking forward to the finals. ”

In last week's training match, Ronaldo collided with Puyol and caused a recurrence of an old injury in his right leg, but he said he would definitely play now that the injury is fine: "I'm ready. I will help my team-mates and the team to be in Paris. It's going to be tough, but of course I'm going to take it seriously. Of course, for me personally, the happiest thing is being able to play. ”

'We're going to come and play as we normally would, we won't make any changes. It doesn't matter who the opponents are, because they are all quality teams. ”

Ferguson once said that Ronaldinho was unstoppable, and Ronaldio denied this claim: "No one is unstoppable. Some games you may play well, but some don't. What I can guarantee is that I can do something big against Manchester United. ”

In the face of an aggressive Barcelona, Ferguson was very low-key in his pre-match press conference.

To be honest, he didn't like the Catalans to be so high-profile before the game, and they all seemed to think they were in the final.

It doesn't seem to take Manchester United as a thing at all.

Before the second leg was played, they thought they could go to Paris?

"As long as it's not 9 to 11, it's easy to say anything......"

Ferguson just left this sentence behind, and didn't say a word of other nonsense.

On that day, nearly 100,000 people poured in at the Camp Nou, filling the stadium to the brim.

Manchester United fans from afar sat on the edge of the Camp Nou, almost negligible.

rumble

rumble

rumble

Just standing in the players' tunnel, Dong Fangzhuo already felt the surging of the Camp Nou, and his heart was subconsciously beating faster.

This was the first time I really felt the pressure.

Camp Nou, after all, is a different stadium. It's a completely different feeling to play here......

"We're going to Paris,"

"We're going to Paris,"

Cristiano Ronaldo muttered the words of Alex Ferguson in the dressing room, trying to motivate and release himself in this way......
