554. The Last Days of Barcelona

"Since plum blossoms are born, why do you give birth to dragons?!"

When FIFA's three-man list was released, the Catalan media could only make such a sigh.

Long Shute led the peak Bayern Munich to double home and away in the knockout round, leaving behind two bloody 7-0s. After that, he changed his goal and came to the declining AC Milan. Everyone thought that Barcelona and Messi could take revenge this time, but they didn't want to be killed by their opponents again...

They have already had a psychological shadow on Long Shute. Even the stubborn "Daily Sports" and "World Sports" can only excuse Messi for other reasons:

"Leo has too many injuries this year, which has seriously affected his condition."

"The players have not fully adapted to Martino's tactical style, which has caused Barcelona to be unable to play their best."

"Barcelona's defense is more powerful than a tiger!"

As for AC Milan, they also have wounded soldiers in the camp, and they also need to adapt to new tactics... They will not consider these issues!

-

There is no problem with Ribery's selection. Among the invincible Bayern Munich, he is the second-largest boss who performed only after Longshute - Dutch Robben was dragged down due to injury problems.

Moreover, after Long Shute left, the French Blades also led the team to win the European Super Cup, German Super Cup, and Club World Cup championships in the second half of the year, completing an unprecedented six-champion defending career. In addition, Bayern is still ahead of the Bundesliga and Champions League in the new season, and his outstanding results ensure his selection.

Where is Ronaldo?

Although the Portuguese is empty in the championship honor, he surpassed Messi, who was absent from injury for two months in personal honor: he not only won the MVP of La Liga last season, but also second only to Long Shute in the MVP selection of the Champions League, and also won the honor of the Champions League silver boot.

In addition, in the new season's UEFA Champions League group stage, he is also the best scorer second only to Long Shute.

In addition, Ronaldo stepped forward at the critical moment of Portugal's life and death, almost defeated the Swedish team led by Ibrahimovic with his own strength, and won the last ticket for next year's World Cup, adding a lot of points to him.

In contrast, Messi's La Liga title and Spanish Super Cup champion may be slightly inferior in terms of weight.

But the more important reason is that he was completely suppressed by his opponent in four encounters with Long Shute, and Barcelona did not win even in one game.

Someone has begun to sarcasm:

"Messi fell from the peak earlier than Ronaldo!"

"Argentine barbecue and cola kill Messi!"

"Messi should learn from Ronaldo and Long's unique self-discipline spirit!"

"Pity! The third generation of football king has already fallen before he ascended the throne!"

"Kaka has returned to the peak, but Messi has fallen from the altar?"

"What's wrong with this world?!"

-

Messi has always been a low-key player and rarely expresses his anger publicly even when facing bad comments.

He will only use goals and Superman's performance to fight back against all doubts!

But this time, he once again felt his insignificance and deep despair!

-

December 11.

Camp Nou Stadium.

The first half just ended, and Messi was particularly active on this day. In the first 45 minutes, his running distance was close to 5,000 meters, and two goals and one assist made his name resound throughout the court.

But he was still full of fighting spirit and couldn't wait to walk out of the locker room and prepare to start the second half.

This is the final round of the Champions League group stage, and two games in the same group will start at the same time.

On the bench in Barcelona, ​​assistant coaches and several players were wearing headphones, while fans in the stands were also nervous about watching the progress of another stadium through the radio or mobile phone.

If someone tells them after the group draw just ends... the qualifying quota of this group will be determined in the last round, and Barcelona fans will definitely not believe that this may happen to their team.

Yes, since the birth of the Universe Team, when will they care about the childish issue of qualifying in the group?!

They won't even worry that their team will stop before the semifinals!

No matter how many changes the coach has changed, players have entered and exited, Barcelona is always the biggest favorite to win the championship!

But... all this became a reality on this day.

In the 81st minute, Messi, who had a hot foot, scored his fifth goal in the game, which also helped the team expand the score to 8-0.

But his name didn't sound at the entire Camp Nou Stadium.

Messi was a little confused.

Neymar was also confused when he was Iniesta beside him.

Barcelona players turned around and looked at the bench and looked at their main stands.

Their head coach Martino has lowered his proud head.

The diehard fans in the stands shed tears of pain!

At the San Siro Stadium in Milan, more than 800 kilometers away, Ajax scored a goal!

If such a score is maintained until the end of the game, it means...

Barcelona... was eliminated in the group stage!

-

"Drip, drip, drip!"

When the referee blew the whistle that ended the game, a burst of warm applause rang over the San Siro Stadium.

Ajax's players and coaches hugged each other in surprise!

They really defeated the powerful AC Milan!

They really... squeezed out the invincible Barcelona!

-

"Fake the ball! Fake the ball! Fake the ball!"

"Shameless Italian!"

"Shameless Chinese! The Golden Globe Award must not be awarded to him!"

"Barcelona has encountered the most unfair treatment!"

"This day is definitely the most shameful day in football history!"

"AC Milan will surely be nailed to the pillar of shame in football with Long Shute!"

"This is the most disgusting Champions League I've ever seen!"

"The spirit of football is dead! There is no pure football in this world!"

"The Champions League without Barcelona is a gathering for the trash!"

...

When the results of the game were announced, this is the real end of the world for the majority of Barcelona fans!

Originally, they thought their team could successfully qualify from the group, enter the knockout stage for ten consecutive seasons, and surpass Chelsea, which had entered the knockout stage for nine consecutive seasons, second only to Arsenal, who had reached the top 16 for 12 consecutive seasons and Real Madrid, which had reached the top 16 for 17 consecutive seasons. However, they did not expect that they were hacked by the insidious Italians at the last moment...

This result was unexpected by everyone, but everyone couldn't help but smile behind their backs - especially Real Madrid...

If Barcelona and Ajax want to choose one of these two teams as their opponents, no one will choose Barcelona!

Ajax is simply a big gift pack!

Of course, in public, coaches and players from other clubs will express themselves in a painful tone:

"We really feel sorry for Barcelona's elimination, but this result also reminds us that the Champions League is the top event. We must strive for victory in every game, and we must never relax our care..."

-

With the end of the sixth round, the roster of 16 teams advanced also surfaced.

In Group A, the Red Devils, led by new head coach Moyes, qualified strongly with an unbeaten record of four wins and two draws, followed by Bundesliga powerhouse Leverkusen, with Donetsk Miners and Real Sociedad being eliminated.

In Group B, Real Madrid won five wins and tied with their heads and advanced with one draw, while Galatasaray squeezed out Juventus and ranked second by one point. Last season's Serie A champion was eliminated in disgrace, which also revealed a big upset.

Paris Saint-Germain and Olympiacos in Group C, two Champions League regulars, defeated Benfica and Anderlecht without any suspense.

In Group D, Bayern Munich and Manchester City two giants qualify with 15 points respectively. The two bottom teams, CSKA and Bilson, won the victory, could only get 3 points...

The results of Group E were not unexpected. Chelsea and Schalke 04 overwhelmed Basel and Bucharest Stars. The former giants star Basel failed to cause too much trouble for the Blues and the miners this time.

Group F was called the "Death Group" from the beginning, and they really didn't insult such a name:

Arsenal, Dortmund and Napoli won four victories and two draws respectively. The three teams all had 12 points, and the order could only be determined by the number of goals that the goal difference could be determined!

In the end, Napoli, who performed well, was squeezed out of the knockout round by Dortmund and Napoli because of their fewer goals. They also became the team with the highest score but were eliminated in the history of the Champions League group stage...

As for the final G group, the biggest upset in this Champions League was revealed.

AC Milan and Ajax teamed up to defeat the favorite Barcelona!

The other fourteen teams clapped their hands with grief:

Good done, great done!

We all love Ajax!
Chapter completed!
