Chapter 702: Visiting Camp Nou
Leo's Night!
On the day of the game, the Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo published such a front-page headline. The answer is also very obvious, they are full of expectations for Yosi.
Since returning from injury at the end of March, Yosi has scored 4 goals in three La Liga games, two of which were free kicks, and his state is extremely hot.
Under Yosi's leadership, Barcelona has formed a trend of being far ahead in La Liga!
With only 7 rounds left in La Liga, Barcelona is 11 points ahead of Atletico Madrid, the second place, and also has a head-to-head record advantage. The Red and Blue Army is expected to win the 8th La Liga title in 11 years.
If Barcelona wins the La Liga title, this season's La Liga title will be the 26th La Liga title in Barcelona's history, and Yosi has played in the Barcelona first team for 15 years and can win 10 titles.
"If tonight is Yosi's night, it must be Barcelona's night. This is the most important game for Barcelona so far this season!"
The entire Catalonia region regards this battle at Camp Nou as the most important game for Barcelona this season, because it will determine the fate of Barcelona this season!
Although Barcelona has a very obvious advantage in the league points, as a top giant, Barcelona pays more attention to the team's performance in the Champions League. But the last time Barcelona won the Champions League was 8 years ago in the 2010-2011 season.
In these eight years, Barcelona has not even advanced to the final once, but its arch-rival Real Madrid has advanced to the final 4 times and won 3 times. Such a comparison really makes Barcelona lose face.
For Manchester United, Barcelona has good memories. Because they won the Champions League twice recently, they stepped on Manchester United's corpse and went to the top of Europe.
Now, Barcelona is once again in the Champions League and Manchester United, "Mundo Deportivo" believes that its good times are about to return.
………………
In addition to "Mundo Deportivo", "Daily Sports" and other Catalan media headlines are also crazy.
"Yoshi has the magic key to success!"
"Fate is in Yoshi's hands!"
Various titles are emerging one after another, which shows the expectations of all Barcelona people for Yoshi.
This is not difficult to understand, after all, Yoshi is the captain and top star of Barcelona, and one of the three strongest people in the world football today.
This season, Yoshi's performance is very good. In La Liga this season, he scored 33 goals in 29 appearances, averaging 1.14 goals per game, far ahead in the La Liga scorer list, and tied Bruno, who also scored 33 goals, in the European Golden Boot Award list, and surpassed Bruno in goal efficiency. After all, Bruno scored 33 goals in 31 games.
In various competitions, Yoshi played 40 times and scored a total of 43 goals, including 33 goals in La Liga, 8 goals in the Champions League, and 2 goals in the King's Cup. In addition, Messi also had 21 assists.
On the morning of the game, in the streets and alleys of Barcelona, major media were reporting and hyping the duel tonight. Everyone was full of expectations for Barcelona and had high hopes for Yoshi.
They all firmly believed that Yosi would lead Barcelona out of the crisis tonight. Because in their eyes, the Camp Nou is a steel fortress that no one can break!
………………
As the game time approached, the atmosphere in Barcelona seemed to become more and more tense.
The game kicked off at 20:45 in the evening, but after dark, Manchester United took a bus to the Camp Nou. Along the way, Barcelona fans were everywhere.
When they saw the Manchester United bus, they attacked in groups, and even several extreme fans threw things at the bus.
Fortunately, the Barcelona police who were leading the way in front also came quickly to maintain order and ensure the safe passage of the bus.
Nearly 100,000 people booed at you at the same time. What kind of feeling is that?
Most people may never have such an experience in their lifetime, but Bruno has experienced it!
The moment he walked into the Camp Nou, 95,000 Barcelona fans sitting in the stands all booed him deafeningly, and many fans even cursed at him.
In that sudden moment, Bruno really felt his legs trembling. But he quickly stabilized his emotions, adjusted himself, and continued to move forward steadily.
This is Camp Nou!
The place with the largest capacity and the most terrifying home atmosphere in Europe!
When Bruno stood around the stadium, the stands were full of people, gathering 95,000 fans. And he was stared at by these 95,000 fans, and he really felt cold and creepy.
He believed that not only himself, but also everyone in Manchester United must have this feeling, because they were all unwelcome visiting teams by these 95,000 people.
In the next game, they still need to endure the boos of these 95,000 people.
………………
"Barcelona launched an attack from the left."
"Coutinho cut inside with the ball, Cancelo entangled him tightly, no chance."
"The ball was passed back to the left and given to Alba."
"Alba took the ball and passed it!"
"Back post!"
"Suarez!"
"The ball went in!!!!!!!"
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"In the 14th minute, just 14 minutes into the game, Suarez scored a beautiful header from eight meters in front of the goal!"
"This goal is Suarez's first goal in the Champions League this season and the 500th goal in Barcelona's Champions League history."
...
After scoring the goal, Suarez rushed out of the stadium in excitement.
The entire Camp Nou stadium, 95,000 fans, shouted in unison, shouting Suarez's name. The scene was so exciting!
Barcelona players also rushed towards Suarez to celebrate Suarez's goal.
Head coach Valverde was also dancing with excitement on the sidelines. He obviously knew very well that this goal undoubtedly played a role in stabilizing the morale of Barcelona!
"1:0! Barcelona got off to a great start."
"This was an opportunity created on the left. Coutinho dribbled the ball to attract Cancelo's attention, then suddenly passed it back to the left. Alba followed up with a cross and assisted Suarez to score with a header!"
"This goal reflects Barcelona's consistent tactical coordination. In fact, from the ten minutes after the start, Barcelona's ball control and overall advantage are quite obvious."
"On the contrary, Manchester United mainly relied on defensive counterattacks, but the Red Devils did not play conservatively. They did not hide in front of their own penalty area as previously rumored by the outside world, but created pressure through active and aggressive pressing. But in this way, the probability of the team making mistakes will inevitably increase."
