“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

"Eight minutes!! Just eight minutes!! ”

"Atletico Madrid started the game with great efficiency, they played four quick counter-attacks in just eight minutes, and scored two goals, and if it weren't for the two goalpost rejections, Atletico would have a four-goal lead by now!"

"The third goal! Li Qingshan scored his third goal in the Champions League. As a Chinese commentator, Duan Xuan is of course more concerned about Li Qingshan's personal performance.

"Look at the Calderón Stadium, which is now completely boiling, Atletico fans have plenty of reasons to get excited! Their team scored two goals from Barcelona in just eight minutes to give them a 3-1 aggregate lead! ”

Inside the boiling Calderón Stadium, there is destined to be a group of lost people. They are the blinded Barcelona fans in the stands of the away team, and the Barcelona players who are already a little dazed on the field. But Martino's face has no expression, in this situation, the most important thing is to stabilize the position first, even if Atletico Madrid is now two goals ahead of Barcelona, but as long as Barcelona can score two goals in the next game, the team that advances is still Barcelona. So for Barça, it's far from the end of the world.

Taking advantage of the Atletico players' frantic celebrations, Martino called Xavi over to give him a face-to-face lecture. As captain on the pitch and Barcelona's midfield commander, Xavi certainly knows what Barcelona's problems are right now.

They were unprepared for Atletico's frenzied lay-up and didn't make timely adjustments when they conceded the first goal. In fact, when Li Qingshan's first header hit the crossbar, Barcelona should have been alert.

So far, Martino's biggest concern is that if this continues, Atletico Madrid, who have gone crazy, may score more goals.

Two goals in just eight minutes gave Atletico a boost of momentum, so when the game resumed, Barcelona did not continue to pass forward under Xavi's command.

Xavi, Iniesta, and Busquets all returned to the backfield to help get the ball, and the four players in the Barcelona backline also had good passing ability, so Atletico's next scramble was in vain.

On the contrary, the excited Atletico Madrid players were seized by Barcelona because they pressed too high.

When Cesc Fabregas fired the ball into the side-netting, Simeone sniffed out the danger signals. He waved his arms on the sidelines and used exaggerated body language to instruct the Atletico players to drop back.

And Cesc Fabregas's shot also calmed down the already hot-headed Atletico players a little. On the contrary, Barcelona are one of the most attacking teams in Europe, and their three midfielders are all world-class star players, and the midfield combination of Xavi Iniesta Busquets has made Barcelona's passing ability the pinnacle, and when they abandon the forward through pass at the back and instead concentrate on passing each other backwards, it is difficult for Atletico Madrid to snatch the ball from under their feet.

As a result, Atletico Madrid also quickly closed when they saw the good, and with a two-goal lead, they could comfortably retreat to their own half and play a defensive counterattack.

After Atletico's opening blitz, they gradually retreated to their backfield and built a tight defence at the edge of the box. Almost all of Atletico Madrid's players have retired. It reminds me of the first leg at the Camp Nou. At that time, Atletico Madrid also used this tactic. But now they had a two-goal advantage in just eight minutes, so for Atletico, the current situation makes it all the more natural for them to put their bus! ”

As the game wore on, possession was almost entirely on Barcelona's side. They kept passing the ball in midfield, looking for holes in Atletico Madrid's defence.

However, the space between Atletico's two lines is very tight, with four players at the back and five players in midfield forming two lines of defense to hold the middle.

Barcelona couldn't find any room to penetrate in the middle, but they could easily pass to the edge of the line.

It's just that Barcelona's cross is completely unable to pose a threat, and it is completely foolish to expect Messi and Cesc Fabregas to compete with Godin and Miranda for the high ball.

In desperation, Barcelona could only pass the ball back to the middle and continue to attack the steel defense built by Atletico Madrid in the middle.

In the 16th minute of the game, Xavi combined with Iniesta in midfield to advance the ball to the edge of the Atletico Madrid penalty area.

Then Iniesta's diagonal pass found Messi in the ribs. So far in this game, Messi's state has not been very good, his running is very little, and even Messi once walked lazily on the field.

This time was the same, Messi tried to pass without success, but was stabbed away by Felipe, but unfortunately Felipe's stab failed to create a counterattack opportunity for Atletico, and the ball was controlled by Busquets on the perimeter.

Barcelona continued to organize the attack.

The Atletico fans, who had been singing and shouting excitedly, have now calmed down, and they have also realized that a two-goal lead is not too safe, and the game is still a long way off. During this time, football was also controlled by Barcelona, and although it did not create many shooting opportunities, it was not a pleasant feeling for fans watching from the sidelines, watching their team defend passively.

From the possession rate of both sides during this time, you can imagine the mood of Atletico Madrid fans. Eight minutes before Atletico's second goal, the two sides still had 50 per cent possession, which is average.

But as the clock ticked on, and now the game was in the eighteenth minute, Barcelona had 72 per cent possession, while Atletico had only 28 per cent. That said, Atletico Madrid didn't even have a chance to touch the ball during this time.

But the so-called insiders look at the doorway, and the laymen look at the excitement. In fact, Simeone, who was on the sidelines, did not have such thoughts as Atletico Madrid fans in the stands. In his opinion, his team's defensive performance is very good now, and the positioning of the two lines is very reasonable, so that Barcelona can only passively pass outside Atletico's defensive area, but can not pose any threat to Atletico's goal at all.

If he could, Simeone would even like the game to play out the way it is, allowing Barcelona to pass the ball outside of Atletico's defensive zone all the time, and after 90 minutes, Atletico would have progressed to the last four of the Champions League.

Simeone thought a little proudly, the Argentine young marshal glanced at the Argentine seniors with solemn expressions on the other side, two Argentines one old and one young, but the mood at the moment was very different.
