"Without Yang Yang, Real Madrid will completely become unable to play football."
...
While Real Madrid narrowly beat Las Palmas 3-1, Barcelona played at home and beat Sporting Gijon 6-1.

When a person is pushed to a corner, the potential to explode will be amazing, and the same is true for a team.
After a 0-4 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the away game, Barcelona has no way to retreat.
Especially after defeating Atletico Madrid in a bad way, from the head coach Enrique to the top star in the team, almost no one is not blamed, even Messi, who is known as the fan favorite, has been criticized.
Under such circumstances, Barcelona was full of desire to save themselves, and also exploded with amazing strength.
In the game, the tridents in the frontcourt contributed an extremely wonderful performance, each scored a goal, plus an own goal by Rakitic, Paco and the opponent's central defender, Barcelona finally slaughtered their opponents at home and won a hearty game. A dripping victory.
If it is said that the disastrous defeat to Paris Saint-Germain and the narrow victory over Atletico Madrid made Barcelona lifeless, then now, this team has finally shown the tenacity and dignity of a wealthy team.

Give them back six goals at Camp Nou because we have the best attackers in the world."
In addition, Enrique also said that he will not continue to serve as Barcelona coach next season.
"Starting from next season, I will no longer be the head coach of Barcelona. The reason why I choose to leave is related to the way I work. There is too little time to rest. I need to rest."
Enrique said that he had informed the team of his decision in advance, and the Barcelona management also respected his wishes, so Barcelona is currently starting to find a new coach.
A big victory made people see Barcelona's hope of reversing Paris Saint-Germain, but the decision of head coach Enrique shocked the whole world.
Enrique dismissed get out of class is not surprising at all, even as early as the disastrous defeat to Real Madrid and Paris, he was on the verge of dismissed get out of class twice, and this time he offered to resign, the media revealed that it was Enrique and Barcelona management consensus reached.
You know, in the past ten years, Barcelona has never taken the initiative to fire the head coach. No matter how Luis Enrique is, he is also a hero of the team. Both he and Barcelona need to take care of each other's face. So letting him leave after coaching this season is undoubtedly a result acceptable to both parties.
However, everyone is very worried, can such a Barcelona fight against Paris Saint-Germain?
The most likely to succeed Enrique in charge of Barcelona is Athletic Bilbao coach Ernesto Valverde.

…………
On the evening of March 8th, at Camp Nou in Barcelona, Spain.
In the first round of the knockout round of the Champions League round of 16, Barcelona played at home against Paris Saint-Germain.
Enrique's battle continued Barcelona's outstanding performance in the past two games, and still adopted a three-four-three formation.
This is also the tactic used by Barcelona to beat their opponents in the past two games. They adopted three defenders and four midfielders to ensure the team's midfield control. The combination of Ronaldo and Rafinha.
The result was quite surprising. In just 156 seconds of Barcelona's opening, Rafinha made a diagonal pass in the penalty area to create chaos. Cristiano Ronaldo scored with a header from close range and opened the scoring for Barcelona.
Subsequently, Barcelona continued to launch a fierce attack on Paris Saint-Germain.
Anyone can see that tonight's Barcelona team showed the momentum of breaking the boat and fighting with their backs.
...
After Yang Yang had dinner with Zidane and other members of the coaching staff, he continued to stay in Valdebebas to watch the game.
The results were very surprising to Paris Saint-Germain's starting tactics.
"Emery is too conservative!" Yang Yang felt very puzzled after seeing Paris Saint-Germain's defense after seeing Barcelona's goal. It stands to reason that Emery is so familiar with La Liga, how could he not know, facing Barcelona, Shrinking and retreating will only lead to a worse death?
Paris Saint-Germain has four goals in hand. It is right to adopt safe tactics, but it is not necessary to hide and defend.
You know, as long as Paris Saint-Germain shows some courage and breaks through Barcelona's goal, then Barcelona must score six goals, which is almost an impossible task.
But now it's better, Paris Saint-Germain shrank at the beginning, which made Barcelona gain momentum, and it will be difficult to deal with it next.
And the situation of the game is also that Barcelona is completely in control of the situation, not only passing and controlling the ball, but even the rhythm is completely controlled by Barcelona.
"In this game, the Barcelona players ran very actively, almost pressing the whole game. On the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain's victory in the first round made them conservative. They just wanted to win steadily, and they were given by Barcelona at the beginning Stunned." David Bertoni sighed.
With the opening goal, Barcelona still has something to play.
"Looking at the first half, if we lose the ball again, Paris Saint-Germain will be in more trouble." Zidane said with a frown.
But what is unexpected is that after the opening goal, Barcelona has been unable to attack for a long time, but in the 40th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo picked a pass to Iniesta, who made a cross with his heel. An own goal, two to zero.
Such a result made Yang Yang, Zidane and others dumbfounded and completely confused.
"What's going on?" Yang Yang smiled wryly.
But Emery still has to bear the blame.
Facing Barcelona, blindly retreating and retreating will only make myself full of mistakes in the end.
Barcelona performed very well tonight, but Paris Saint-Germain's conservativeness and wrong starting tactics further boosted Barcelona's arrogance. If Emery started tit-for-tat, the result may not be like this.
But now...
...
In the second half, Emery also realized the problem of Paris Saint-Germain and tried to counterattack.
But the problem is that Paris Saint-Germain's morale has been messed up.
The team's formation is pressing forward, which relieves the pressure on the back line, but under the pressure of Barcelona's full court, they cannot form a threat, and the pass is almost cut off after no more than three feet.
In the 50th minute, Iniesta made a direct pass to the left side of the penalty area, Neymar fell down in the penalty area, and Messi scored a penalty kick, 3-0.
It can be said that at this moment, the situation of the game has been reversed.
At this point, who would say that it is impossible for Barcelona to stage a miracle reversal?
In the 62nd minute, Kurzawa made atonement and assisted Cavani to score a goal, continuing a wave of blood for Paris Saint-Germain, but at this time Paris Saint-Germain's morale was already low, and then Cavani continued to waste good opportunities. best evidence.
Barcelona, on the other hand, is still struggling to find a good chance to score goals. They have been driven to a dead end and have no way to retreat.
Even if they lose, they must show a satisfactory mental outlook and fight until the last moment of the game.
On the other hand, Emery showed his timidity at the critical moment. He first replaced Draxler with Aurier, and then replaced Meunier with Krijowiak. They were all conservative substitutions to strengthen defense.
Barcelona, on the other hand, miraculously scored three consecutive goals in the final stage of the game, in the eighty-eighth, ninety-first and ninety-fifth minutes, and finally beat Paris Saint-Germain 6-1, completing the victory. A miraculous reversal.
This is also destined to become one of the most classic reversals in the history of the Champions League!
