Chapter 978: The Third Lead

"Guys~~~ You did a great job in the first half" After returning to the locker room, Simeone's first words were actually to praise the player's performance in the first half.

"No matter how the opponent changes, we just have to keep playing our way," but after the praise, Simeone focused on the second half.

And Simeone's praise of the players is also obvious, don't be shaken by the change of the opponent, now this situation, it affects the whole body, what Simeone has to do is to strengthen himself and strengthen the hearts of the Atletico Madrid players.

On the other hand, Enrique is actually doing something similar, two goals in the first half, two leads, is the best proof of Enrique's change this time, and now Barcelona has only this way to go, the Copa del Rey final, the league results are still vivid.

In addition to firming up the hearts of the players, Simeone and Enrique did not say anything else, giving the players a rest, and according to the situation in the first half, this game is likely to go into extra time, so take the time to rest as much as possible.

Unfortunately, the half-time break was only fifteen minutes, and this time would not change because of the final, and soon the staff knocked on the door of the dressing room.

"No matter how the second half went, the first half of this final was enough to go down in the history of the Champions League final," Lopes said emotionally as he watched the players return to the pitch.

Last season, Lopes commented with Martinez, and finally saw his beloved team fall at the feet of his former players, staging one of the most exciting scenes of killing the old owner.

As a Real Madrid fan, Lopez can indeed say some willing words, but if it is a fan of both sides, then he only has the idea of defeating the opponent and winning the game.

The same is true for players on both sides, going down in history? If you lose, it will only be a shame to go down in history, glory will always belong only to the winner, and history will only remember the winner.

On the pitch, the second half of the game has restarted, Barcelona kicked off, three passes, the ball went into the heart of Atletico Madrid, Suarez passed back, Rakitic held the ball forward, and then passed to Messi, who sent it back to Suarez's feet with one kick.

Atletico Madrid's backline is in full swing, and in the face of Barcelona's changes, after a first half, Atletico Madrid has actually adapted to it.

Suarez dribbled into the Atletico penalty area, but he didn't have the angle to shoot, and Godin did a very good job of that, plus Oblak's positioning.

Messi, Barcelona's first shot at the beginning of the second half still belonged to Messi, Suarez passed back to Iniesta without an angle, and the latter took the ball and made a fake shot.

"Beautiful~~~ Iniesta's wonderful pass" The ball rolled diagonally into the Atletico Madrid penalty area, rolled towards Messi, and the Barcelona core immediately shot into the upper left corner after a slight adjustment.

"Oblak~~~ Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper reacted in a timely manner" At the moment of Messi's shooting, Oblak also flew up, and finally lifted the ball out of the bottom line with one hand.

Tactical corner, Messi forced a breakthrough, Rakitic returned the ball to Messi, Messi took the ball and smashed the ball past Juanfran and rushed into the penalty area.

But the final kick was much worse than the previous one, Messi's shot was still aimed at the top left corner, but the ball eventually flew out of the bottom line.

Attacking and defending transitions, Atletico Madrid returned a kick, Thiago split the ball on the side, Turan held the ball forward along the side, Juanfran inserted it from behind to attract the attention of Barcelona's defense, and Turan took the opportunity to send the ball directly into the penalty area.

"Oh oh oh ~~~ volley, Atletico Madrid's shot is also very exciting" Lin Dong stopped the ball on his chest, and without waiting for the ball to fall on his toes, he forcibly half-turned, and then the whole person took off.

Lin Dong didn't have any problems with the angle of the volley, but the ball still couldn't fly into the goal in the end, Ter Stegen, like Messi, Lin Dong's shot only made the opponent's goalkeeper in the end.

Although both sides scored two goals in the first half, one thing cannot be denied, both Oblak and Ter Stegen performed well.

But no matter how good a goalkeeper is, he can't guarantee that the team will not concede a goal, on the field, the rhythm of the two sides is still very fast, as long as Barcelona gets the ball, those few passes will definitely score into Atletico Madrid's half, and complete a shot, Atletico Madrid is definitely not comparable with Barcelona in terms of shooting frequency, but it can be made up in quality.

In the 53rd minute, Atletico almost rewrote the score and ushered in the first lead of the game, Juanfran crossed from the bottom, Mandzukic made the ball for Lin Dong.

The high ball was passed to the back point, but Mandzukic did not attack the goal himself but knocked back to the front point with a header and knocked it in front of Lin Dong, although it was a little unexpected, but Lin Dong's reaction was indeed amazing, and he still completed a header attack.

But Lin Dong's head-shaking attack did not let the ball fly into the goal, because Lin Dong was too close to the goalpost, and this trick directly threw the ball to the goalpost.

The bouncing ball hit Ter Stegen's arm again, and from this we had to praise Ter Stegen's reaction, and the moment the ball bounced to his arm, Ter Stegen swept the ball away, and Pique took the opportunity to complete the clearance.

As the saying goes, if you don't die, there will be a blessing, in the history of football, this sentence has been proven countless times, and today, this sentence is confirmed again.

Fifty-sixth minute later, three minutes after Atletico's shot, Barcelona scored into Atletico's half with the ball, and Andres Iniesta rushed into the heart of Atletico with the ball.

After attracting enough defence, he passed diagonally to Messi, who took the ball and slammed towards the Atletico penalty area, but just as he started, Cork made a flying tackle.

Yellow card, Koke is a back tackle, so this yellow card is not wronged at all, Barcelona's free kick, a direct free kick in a very good position, the penalty area is on the right, and the distance is about twenty-five meters.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~ The ball went in~~~ The ball went in~~~Barcelona's third goal~~~ Barcelona's third lead."

"Suarez~~~ It was Suarez who helped Barcelona score, and the Barcelona striker's follow-up shot" Messi took a free kick, the ball flew over the wall to the goal, although Oblak pounced on the ball, but there was a fatal mistake, the ball was out of his hands, Suarez reacted quickly and grabbed in front of everyone to keep up with the shot.

"Suarez~~~ Barcelona's striker's follow-up shot gave the team the third goal, and this goal also gave Barcelona the third lead in the game."
