Chapter 632: There Is One More Account to Be Settled

Although Eric Dier is only 18 years old, his defense is quite solid and he has the style of a general.

His appearance made QPR's defense more airtight.

However, young people are still young people after all, and they cannot compare with veterans in terms of game experience.

In the 71st minute, Messi got the ball from the wing and cut inside. Eric Dier stepped forward to defend, but he pounced too hard. Messi threw him away with a sudden stop and start, leaving a flaw in QPR's penalty area.

Messi didn't waste any time and immediately sent a through ball to the only opening, and Villa received the ball in the penalty area.

However, after Villa got the ball, he unexpectedly did not continue to rush forward and try to form a single shot. Instead, he suddenly grabbed the ball and then kicked it to the left.

At this time, Pedro suddenly stepped in and kicked the ball without stopping on the left side of the penalty area. The football missed the near post and rolled into the net.

"Pedro Goallll! Barcelona equalized the score in the 71st minute!" the commentator shouted, "Barcelona people saw a glimmer of hope again. As long as they score one more goal in the remaining 20 minutes, they will advance! "

After the restart, Barcelona, ​​which was stimulated, began to attack continuously, but QPR made no more mistakes and did not allow Barcelona to enter the penalty area for a while.

Simeone touched his chin and carefully observed the situation before making another conservative substitution adjustment.

Pogba replaces Modric.

This substitution is to strengthen defense. Anyway, now that QPR no longer focuses on possession of the ball, Modric's role on the court has become smaller.

In the 85th minute, Simeone used the last substitution, Kyle Walker replaced Alex Sandro.

Walker plays a guest role at left back, responsible for marking Messi.

Walker is strong and very fast. Under his interference, Messi can no longer take the ball and launch an attack.

Guardiola also made a desperate final substitution, with Sanchez coming on to replace the exhausted Iniesta.

Just after coming on the field, Sanchez made an amazing breakthrough. He passed Maicon on the left side of the penalty area and shot from a small angle, hitting the side net.

Villa and Messi in the middle both expressed dissatisfaction and believed that Sanchez should have passed the ball.

But in fact, the passing route has been blocked by QPR. If Sanchez passes to the middle, there is a high probability that it will be destroyed by the QPR defender.

Time was running out, and soon the 90 minutes of regular time were exhausted. The fourth official raised the electronic card indicating 4 minutes of additional time.

Simeone immediately protested, thinking that 4 minutes of stoppage time was too long, and there were not many dead balls in the second half.

Of course, this protest was in vain. The fourth official said politely: "Please return to your command area, otherwise you will be shown a card. You can complain to the UEFA Referees Committee after the game, but now please Don’t affect our work.”

Simone sat back in his chair dejectedly.

At this moment, the camera focused on his face, and at this moment, his eyes were closed.

It shows how nervous he is.

In the last few minutes, Barcelona almost all pressed on. Every time Messi got the ball, the QPR players would be nervous for a long time.

In contrast, every time Ricardo touches the ball, the Barcelona players will also be on tenterhooks.

But nothing magical happened in those final minutes.

QPR took the defense to the extreme, and the Barcelona players didn't even get the ball in the penalty area.

When the referee whistled three times, the Barcelona fans at the scene couldn't even believe it.

Their hosts had 67 per cent possession in this game, a familiar recipe, but the final flavor was different.

The score of the two rounds was 3:4, and Barcelona was eliminated.

QPR reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time in history!

Ricciardo and Messi each launched an attack, but neither had a direct goal or an assist. This time, they drew again.

However, Liccardo made a great contribution on the defensive end today. He spent most of the time organizing offense and assisting defense in his own half, and rarely directly participated in the offense.

Although his attack power is sacrificed,

But QPR's defense today is indeed united, with almost no loopholes. Barcelona's goal was almost their only chance to score.

On the contrary, QPR failed to seize several opportunities.

After the game, except for the Daily Sports and World Sports, which satirized QPR and believed that QPR parked a bus at the door to get a dirty draw, the rest of the media believed that QPR did a very good defensive counterattack. They did not win because they were just unlucky.

It is not bad for Barcelona to get a draw. Judging from the comparison of the opportunities between the two sides, QPR has a clear advantage.

QPR's opponent in the semi-finals has also been determined.

Bayern Munich eliminated Juventus with 2:0 at home and away, with a total score of 4:0, and joined QPR in the semi-finals.

Bayern Munich is not in very good shape this season. They had 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the group stage, scoring 15 goals, and only lost one game to Chelsea; in the quarter-finals, they drew 3:3. Arsenal, in the end, only advanced because of their away goal advantage.

But after entering the top 8, they became different teams, and Juventus had no temper in the two rounds.

Of course, on the one hand, Juventus has not yet recovered, and on the other hand, Bayern Munich itself is in good condition.

Ricardo remembers clearly that in another time and space, the final champion of this season's Champions League is Bayern Munich.

Does that mean that if QPR gets past Bayern Munich, they will also be able to win the cup?

How exciting.

However, QPR still have to play in the league first.

In the 33rd round of the Premier League, QPR defeated Everton 3:0 away from home. Manchester United defeated Stoke City 2:0.

The two teams have the same points, the same goal difference, and the same winning-loss relationship. In the end, based on the total number of goals, QPR briefly ranked first in the standings.

In the 34th round of the Premier League, QPR defeated Stoke City 2:0 at home, and Manchester United defeated Aston Villa 3:0 at home. Manchester United's goal difference increased by one and returned to the top of the standings.

This season's championship battle is really exciting. If both teams keep winning like this, the championship will most likely be decided based on goal difference. Therefore, both teams must not only win, but also strive for more goals.

The disadvantage for QPR is that they still have to play in the Champions League. This is a huge test for their physical fitness.

But after playing this game, it is impossible to give up. The players can only grit their teeth and persevere.

After playing 34 rounds of the league, the QPR team heads to Munich, and their first leg will be an away game.

The order of guest first and host first makes Simeone quite satisfied.

At the pre-match press conference, Simeone said: "I know very well how good Bayern Munich is this season and how strong their lineup is. They are far ahead in the league and have won the championship early. They no longer need to be distracted by the league. , this is their advantage. And our advantage is that we have Liccardo."

Bayern Munich's veteran coach Heynckes simply commented: "Yes. They have Ricardo, and we are Bayern Munich. We still have an account to settle with Ricardo."
