Arsenal defeated Barcelona 3-1 at home and played darkly, the next leg at Camp Nou to meet them is still a tough battle, the prospect of promotion is far less bright than Real Madrid, Schalke 04, the reason why the bookmaker listed them as the first favorite to win the championship, in addition to Arsenal's outstanding strength, Arsenal won the championship 7 rounds in advance, the FA Cup reached the final, only the Champions League, and the other opponents of the Champions League need to fight for the league title or Champions League seat, compared to Arsenal, the task is heavy, in the closing stage of the leagueAt this time, Arsenal was able to recharge and participate in the battle with the main force of the original team, and the strength was actually a few points higher than the original.

And Barcelona's schedule is even worse, three days after they played the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final with Arsenal at home, they are about to go to Madrid to play the battle of La Liga against their old rival Real Madrid.

On April 10, the 31st round of La Liga, Barcelona reversed the relegation team Almeria 3:1 at home, Messi shined, two goals and one assist, with 27 goals and 15 assists to win La Liga, after this round, Barcelona also led Real Madrid by 5 points, as long as they do not lose to Real Madrid away, the trophy of the La Liga championship is basically included in the arms. However, they will also have to take on Arsenal at Camp Nou before they can challenge Real Madrid, and if they can play the same score as Almeria, they still have a chance to battle Arsenal for a place in the last four.

After the game, Pep Guardiola encouraged his players and said, "In the first leg, we beat Almeria 8-0, but this time we only won by two goals, football matches are like this, although strength is very important, but it does not determine the outcome and score of every game, as long as we do our best, any miracle can be created, now we can't think about the league with Real Madrid, the game has to be played one by one, we should now focus on Arsenal, 3:1 is not an insurmountable score." ”

Messi, the protagonist of this game, also said in an interview with Spanish journalists: "The victory in this game has helped our confidence, now we are still five points with Real Madrid, which is good, five points ahead allows us to accept any result in Madrid, and now we can put everything down and concentrate on playing in the Champions League." Although the situation is difficult, we still believe that we still have a chance to reach the last four. ”

When Barcelona was facing hardship, Arsenal beat Hull City 2-1 at home as a second-tier team, and the main team warmed up in the last 15 minutes, and then easily took a charter flight to Barcelona to participate in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is the second largest city in Spain, located in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula and bordering the Mediterranean Sea.

Today, Barcelona, the "pearl of the Iberian Peninsula", welcomed another artistic team, Arsenal, and two days later, they will face each other in a quarter-final match at the five-star Camp Nou.

While ushering in the great enemy of life and death, Barcelona also welcomed their wanderer who has been away from home for 6 years - Sesk. Cesc Fabregas. The Spanish prodigy, who came through the Barcelona Academy, left Spain at the age of 16 to break through in England and returned in obscurity, becoming a world-class superstar.

At Barcelona's Prater International Airport, among the fans who came to pick up the airport, Sesk's fans surpassed Li Huan for the first time, the Catalans who are dedicated to reading are very united, football is their pride, in recent years they have been encouraging Cesc Fabregas to return to Barcelona to form a team dominated by Catalans, and this quarter-final with Arsenal has also become an opportunity for Barcelona fans and Fabregas fans to show goodwill.

Countless fans presented Fabregas with flowers and gifts, asked for autographs and group photos, and hundreds of reporters snapped at Fabregas with long guns and short cannons.

Compared with last season, Fabregas was welcomed more warmly after winning the Champions League, and in the eyes of the Catalans, the biggest contributor to Arsenal's victory last year was not Li Huan, but their Fabregas, who hoped that after the end of this season, Cesc Fabregas could return to the arms of Barcelona.

Fabregas was somewhat flattered by the enthusiastic welcome from fans and journalists back home, and when answering questions from reporters, the young superstar was somewhat incoherent and incoherent.

"I'm very excited to be back here, I often dream of my hometown in London, I want to be with my family and friends, of course I'm not coming back yet, I'm here to play and I'm still going back to the UK after the game."

'Barcelona are the strongest and most interesting team in the world, and of course Arsenal are too, and it will be very exciting to play against these two teams, as the past games have shown, I want both teams to win, of course it is impossible, if there is to be a winner, I hope it is Arsenal because I am part of Arsenal.

“…… A lot of people are asking me whether Li Huan is great or Messi is great, or Li Huan is great or Messi is great, and we understand why they ask that, because I am a teammate and friend of the two of them, and I am also very professional, but what I want to tell them is that both of them are very good, both have a level beyond the earth, and they are both qualified to be one of the best players in the world in the future......"

As the world's No. 1 person, Li Huan will naturally not lose followers and fans, but Li Huan does not want to steal the limelight of Cesc Fabregas who has returned home in Barcelona, and spoke very calmly in an interview, but simply expressed that it is not easy to play at Camp Nou, and they must not be careless and other unnutritious words.

Arsenal came to Barcelona with a score of 3:1, their mood was much more relaxed than Barcelona, after staying in the hotel, Professor Wenger did not arrange training, after dinner, the players were given two hours off, let them go shopping or sightseeing at will, and gather in the hotel conference room in the afternoon for a team meeting.

With the departure of old people such as Galla and the joining of newcomers, Arsenal has been very strong in the dressing room without gangs, and the original situation of gangs has eased. After the professor arranged the holiday, most of the players went shopping with Cesc Fabregas, who was old and well-known.

Led by Cesc Fabregas, the group once again saw the famous Gaudí buildings, went to Las Ramblas to buy some art that you can't buy in London, and tasted the famous Spanish bacon and lobster boiled chicken.

When they were about to return from Las Ramblas, they happened to run into Barcelona defender Pique and his girlfriend, Latin diva Shakira, shopping together.

Ignoring the fact that there were many Arsenal players around Fabregas, Pique took Shakira's hand, separated everyone and walked in front of Fabregas, hugged Fabregas's shoulder affectionately, and said: "Sesk! I've finally caught you, I thought Wenger wouldn't let you out of the hotel. ”

Fabregas smiled wryly and scratched his head: "I'm not a baby, I have to hide." This is my sister-in-law, right? Sister-in-law is good. ”

Shakira was not shy at all, and said generously: "Hello Sesk, Gerald often mentions you in my ear. ”

Fabregas laughed: "It's not a good thing to be talked about by this guy so often, I am terrified to think about it." ”

Peake laughed and said, "Don't go back after you come back in the summer, what are you doing as a second-class citizen in England, it's better to come back, I, Leo, and André are looking forward to your return." ”

Fabregas was most worried that Pique would mention this matter in public, which was simply a pot that he didn't open, and said vaguely: "Come back?" But it's not up to me. ”

"Who has the final say? You were originally deceived by Wenger with villainous means, and now you are back and you are going home, what qualifications does Arsenal have not to let you go. Peake exclaimed.

Li Huan couldn't help but speak at this time, he coughed and said: "How can Arsenal be called a lie, at that time, Barcelona was worried about the position contradiction between Fabregas and Xavi and was unwilling to sign with Sesk, so Sesk left, otherwise our Arsenal would not have picked up this big bargain." It's still your fault, why are you embarrassed to say that you were cheated away, if I were Sesk, I would never go back, what did you do back then? ”

Pique was choked by Li Huan, he immediately sneered, and said: "How can young people become the main force at the beginning, of course they need to work slowly, Arsenal's approach at that time was not to take advantage of the fact that Sesk's youth was not well considered." Sesk's technique and awareness were honed at Barça, so is there anything wrong with him coming home? ”

Li Huan looked at Shakira with a smile, then at Pique, and said: "Speaking of cheating, I think Barcelona has this ability." Who can feast on Sister Xia's eyes of stripping naked and dancing hip dance in front of her? Turning a Latin diva directly into a little girl in her own yard is also a traditional stunt of Barcelona. ”

Walcot laughed, "This is a product of La Masia Film and Television Academy. Where can we compare to our Kearney training base, we haven't lied to anyone yet. You may be deceived by others. ”

Pique's face flushed when he heard this, "Fart, you guys are just farts, we won't lie to people and we won't be deceived." Sesk's return was inevitable. He was Spanish. ”
