Chapter 1164 He's Really Scared!
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the entire Mestagna Stadium was filled with the shouts of Real Madrid fans.
This is a night for Real Madrid fans!
Yang Yang, Suarez, David Silva, Marcelo, Di Maria, Modric...
This group of Real Madrid players became the brightest superstars on this stadium tonight, and became the focus of attention of the audience, the whole country, and even the whole world, because they are the champions!
Winners and losers, in the world of professional football, has always been so cruel.
At the moment when the whistle sounded, the Barcelona players seemed to have been completely exhausted. Many of them stood there helplessly, with frustrated expressions on their faces, and some even showed expressions of disbelief.
They lost!
Lost the last front of the season!
If it is said that because Real Madrid has maintained an unbeaten record in the league so far this season, Barcelona has been mentally prepared for the defeat in the league early, then the loss to Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Champions League a week ago has caused a huge blow to Barcelona. So much so that they lost to Granada and then lost to Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final.
Throughout the game, 90 minutes, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar all performed very sluggishly.
Some people say that this is the most powerful Barcelona in history, and even the number one favorite of all championships before the season. It is said that it will overthrow the rule of Real Madrid and end the era of Yang Yang, but now, these are like jokes.
In the two rounds against Atletico Madrid, Barcelona had an absolute advantage, but they lost; in the league against Granada, Barcelona had 80% of the ball possession, and they also lost; now against Real Madrid, Barcelona's possession rate It was close to 70%, but the number of shots in the game was only a pitiful nine, while Real Madrid was as high as 21.
Data may not represent everything, but it can reflect some problems in the game.
Barcelona has a problem!
When Guardiola left the team, everyone already knew it.
But later, with the joining of Neymar and the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, too much scenery made people forget about this matter, covering up too many problems.
Until this moment, everyone suddenly realized that the problem was already very serious.
...
Messi is a smart guy.
Although he has always been low-key and not good at expressing, no one will deny his intelligence.
When he stood panting at the Mestagna Stadium, watching Real Madrid celebrating wildly, his brows were wrinkled like mountains.
He realized a very serious problem, and it was also a crisis for Barcelona.
Harvey is thirty-four years old!
Iniesta is also thirty years old!
The sudden realization of this made Messi panic, because he really realized the crisis.
Puyol is going to retire, this is something everyone knows, he has played only a handful of games this season, including a disastrous defeat to Real Madrid in the derby of the century, after that, he announced his retirement .
Now, Xavi and Iniesta are both old, but look at the current group of players in the Barcelona team, who can fill their vacancy?
Without Xavi and Iniesta, who can Barcelona's midfield rely on?
If this is a crisis on the level of strength, then on the psychological level, the blow to Barcelona this season is also very serious.
With the introduction of Neymar last season, the strength of the team has skyrocketed. Although it is not as good as Real Madrid in the league and the Copa del Rey, it has the last laugh in the Champions League. Ronaldo, but it turns out...
Are the Portuguese strong?
powerful! Very strong! Very strong!
But he is somewhat incompatible with Messi, other Barcelona players, and even the entire Barcelona system.
He is different from Neymar!
Sitting on the most luxurious super lineup in the history of the club, and even in the history of professional football, Barcelona has suffered a big defeat in three lines this season. How big a blow will this be to the players?
Let me ask, if even Barcelona with such a strong lineup can't shake Real Madrid, how can they play next?
Especially in La Liga this season, Atletico Madrid has risen strongly, and Barcelona can only rank third in La Liga.
For the first time in Messi's career, he felt a panic spreading in his body.
He is really scared!

"Barcelona probably has to sell someone!"
In the chairman's stand of the Mestagna Stadium, Florentino said such a sentence to King Juan Carlos I of Spain lightly. If it spread out, it would definitely cause an uproar.
The King of Spain is a die-hard Real Madrid fan, which is well known, but this time he came to the scene as a guest of honor.
Now, he is very happy, because he will personally award this year's King's Cup to his favorite and most supported team.
And all this is thanks to the Chinese player wearing the No. 11 jersey in the stadium.
"Their financial problems are already very big. Without money, there is no foundation, and they cannot maintain their competitiveness for a long time." After listening to Florentino's words, King Juan Carlos said in agreement.
He is seventy-six years old, but he is still in good spirits, especially after seeing Real Madrid win the championship with his own eyes.
He had just returned from a state visit to the United Arab Emirates, but was in Kuwait when his plane broke down and nearly missed the match, but returned in time, leading him to believe that tonight's Real Madrid will be good luck.
Sure enough, Real Madrid won!
"Barcelona's current problems are indeed very serious. They are in financial difficulties. In the past two years, superstars have been introduced, and the salary pressure is too great. Now it is said that the salary has accounted for more than 80% of the club's total financial income. This is very scary, and Puyol is about to retire. Xavi is also thirty-four years old, which is also a problem."
Barcelona has maintained a stable lineup over the past few years. A group of youth players headed by Messi, Harvey, Iniesta and Pique formed the framework of Barcelona, which has not changed for many years. Real Madrid's The lineup is adjusted a lot, and there are ins and outs every year, so Real Madrid's current average age is very low.
Now, after Xavi and Iniesta are old, metabolism will become a very serious problem.
If metabolism is a huge potential crisis, then the financial problem is the number one problem facing Barcelona.
Therefore, it is time to test the Barcelona management and see how to solve these two big problems.
If the metabolism is not solved well, the team's performance will definitely be affected. At that time, it will definitely hit Barcelona's financial revenue severely, and further deepen the team's financial crisis.
But if you want to solve the metabolism, you must increase investment, and the financial problem will be more serious.
It can be said that this is a dilemma.
Whether it is metabolism or financial debt, any club is unwilling to easily cause trouble, but now Barcelona has both troubles at the same time.
As a competitor, Florentino is delighted with Barcelona's current situation. Despite the strong rise of Atletico Madrid this season, everyone knows that the Sheets will not become Real Madrid's confidant, only Barcelona is Real Madrid's eternal enemy.
Now that the mortal enemy is in trouble, as an opponent, Real Madrid should naturally be happy.
But at the same time, Florentino also remained calm and rational.
He is very clear that the problems that Barcelona are facing now, sooner or later, Real Madrid will also encounter them.

In the stands of the stadium, the conversation between the president of Real Madrid and the King of Spain can be described as a strategic plan, but inside the stadium, the celebration of the Real Madrid players reached its peak, and they threw Ancelotti into the air.
This is a routine celebration for all championship teams, but everyone believes that this will not be the last time of the season.
Because there will be La Liga champions next, Real Madrid has basically locked two championships in advance this season.
What really attracted the attention of the outside world was that after the Real Madrid players threw Ancelotti, they quickly threw Zidane up again.
This is quite surprising, because it is customary to lose the head coach after winning the championship, but it is rare to lose the assistant coach.
But neither Ancelotti nor Real Madrid are surprised by this, because only people inside Real Madrid can understand Zidane's contribution to Real Madrid during his tenure as an assistant coach.
In addition to being an assistant coach, he is also a special advisor to the chairman and a core member of the technical team. This means that he can be on the coaching staff, directly contact the chairman, and at the same time affect the club's technical team. Team decisions.
Such a character may not seem to have a high position, but in fact he is extraordinary.
It should be said that in the first team of Real Madrid, including players and coaches, there are only two people who can directly talk to Chairman Florentino, one is Zidane and the other is Yang Yang.
After winning the Copa del Rey, Zidane was thrown high, which also represents the weight of the French legend in the Real Madrid dressing room.
Ancelotti also smiled and said it was normal when he was interviewed by media reporters, "Zidane and I are both coaches. We have a long-term and very pleasant cooperation. Whether it is him or me, directing the ball It's a normal thing to play with the team and lead the team in training, and I'm glad to see him loved so much by the players."
Even when a media reporter asked if he was worried about Zidane replacing him, Ancelotti smiled and said that he was not afraid.
"I know that sooner or later, he will become the head coach of Real Madrid, and I also believe that he will lead Real Madrid to great success, but I don't know when that day will come. If one day, Real Madrid feels that I am no longer suitable for the role. If you want Zidane to be the head coach, then I will give my heartfelt blessings."
"I think he's going to be a good manager and he's going to be successful."
Ancelotti's statement can be described as magnanimous, which immediately made a good impression. At the same time, it also made Zidane's coaching voice start to blare, and some media even broke the news that Zidane's timetable for taking over It was in 2016.
But who knows?
