After the halftime break, Atletico Madrid suffered another heavy blow at the beginning of the second half. The main full-back Felipe Luis strained a muscle during a scramble in the 47th minute and was forced to come off the field.
Atletico Madrid could only use up one substitution at the beginning of the second half, replacing Felipe Luis with Daniel Diaz.
Originally wanting to start the second half with a strong offensive, the Shenlian Army was unable to start the game due to unexpected injuries and substitutions that affected its rhythm.
Therefore, after ten minutes, Simeone replaced Mario Suarez with Adrian to continue to strengthen the attack.
The result was counterproductive. Atletico Madrid had just completed the substitution. In the 59th minute, during a counterattack by Barcelona, Messi received a pass from his teammate outside the penalty area, and then dribbled the ball diagonally into the arc of the penalty area. Surrounded by four or five people, Messi
He found almost the only shooting path and pushed the ball into the lower left corner.
The angle was too awkward, and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois tried his best to save, but in the end, he missed the ball by a hair. He could only watch the ball rolling into the net, beating the ground in frustration.
The Barcelona fans in the stands celebrated even more wildly.
Because this is Messi's 89th goal of the year, and he is only one goal away from breaking the 90-goal mark.
Although Qiao Anchen’s achievement of breaking through the three-digit mark is ahead of him, looking at history, being able to break through the 90-goal mark is definitely a great achievement worthy of respect and celebration.
Now, Messi is only one goal away and may score and break through at any time.
Seeing this, Simeone made another substitution a few minutes later and continued to strengthen the attack. Barcelona also made corresponding personnel adjustments to continue to control the situation.
After all, Atletico Madrid's overall strength is still not as good as Barcelona. Without Qiao Anchen, a striker who can seize opportunities, Atletico Madrid's few shooting opportunities were lost to Falcao, Diego Costa, Adrian, and Alda.
·Turan and others continued to waste and failed to score.
On the contrary, in the 88th minute, Messi took advantage of a passing error between Atletico Madrid defenders, successfully stole the ball in the frontcourt, and directly entered the penalty area to score, helping Barcelona lock the score at 4-1. At the same time, he himself also
He scored twice, raising his total goals for the year to 90, breaking the 90 mark.
Although there is a precedent for Qiao Anchen to break the 100-goal mark, consider that Gerd Muller's 85 goals in the year have not been broken for 40 years. Messi can surpass Gerd Muller this year and increase the total annual goals to
The 90-goal mark is already an amazing performance.
The entire audience stood up and applauded Messi. Even Qiao Anchen and the Atletico Madrid fans around him also stood up and applauded Messi to pay tribute to this football giant who is only 170cm tall.
The score of 4-1 also shattered all Atletico Madrid's hopes.
Although Simeone was still waving on the sidelines and shouting for the players to attack, there was too little time left for the sheet army.
In the last few minutes, neither side scored again.
After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. Barcelona won 4-1 at home with Messi's two goals and goals from Adriano and Busquets.
Atletico Madrid, which lost Joan Chen, accumulated 46 points with 15 wins and 1 draw, surpassing Atletico Madrid and ranking first in the La Liga standings.
Atletico Madrid suffered its first defeat in La Liga this season and lost the top spot it had held since the beginning of the season by 1 point.
After the game, Atletico Madrid suffered a 1-4 defeat and lost the top spot in La Liga for the first time this season. Messi scored twice to break the 90-goal mark for the year. Barcelona topped the list. Qiao Anchen witnessed the team's three-goal defeat and other news on the
Headlines from major media outlets.
Atletico Madrid, which had won 15 consecutive games, finally lost and also lost the top spot, which is certainly worthy of special praise.
Messi breaking through the 90-goal mark for the year is also a great achievement. Although it is not as good as Qiao Anchen, compared with others, it is an unparalleled success.
In the eyes of many media and fans, Atletico Madrid wasted several good shooting opportunities in the game. If Qiao Anchen was on the court, those opportunities would not have been wasted.
Coupled with the efforts Barcelona put in to defend Qiao Anchen, I am afraid Atletico Madrid will not lose to Barcelona in the away game, at least not so miserably.
Facts have proved that Qiao Anchen has become the backbone of the Shenzhen Army. Without Qiao Anchen, the Shenzhen Army would not only lose, but also suffer a huge defeat, losing three goals at once.
After this game, Atletico Madrid fans missed Qiao Anchen extremely.
Fortunately, this is the last game for which Qiao Anchen was suspended. Qiao Anchen will be able to play in the next game.
In the second half of the season, as long as Atletico Madrid can defeat Barcelona at home, they can regain the points lost in this game and have a chance to win the league championship.
However, that is after all, only in the second half of the season. As far as this game is concerned, Atletico Madrid has already lost the top spot due to the loss.
Qiao Anchen also felt a little apologetic at this moment, but he had no regrets. He was just determined to defeat Barcelona at home in the second half of the season, help the team regain the points lost in this game, and then lead the team to win the championship.
In Ligue 1, there was a classic reversal this round.
In Nice's home game against Ivian, the visiting team Ivian scored two goals in the 3rd and 14th minutes, leading the home team Nice 2-0.
However, the home team Nice scored two goals in the 19th minute and the 47th minute to equalize the score.
The 2-2 score remained deadlocked until stoppage time. In the 91st and 87th minutes, substitute No. 33 Neal scored a winning goal for Nice.
After conceding two goals first, Nice staged a huge 3-2 comeback, shocking Ligue 1.
In another first-place match, Paris Saint-Germain faced Lyon at home. With Matuidi's goal in the 45th minute, Paris beat Lyon 1-0 at home, tying the points between the two sides and winning on goal difference.
Beat Lyon and ranked first in the standings.
Lyon, like Atletico Madrid, lost their top spot.
Since there are only 18 teams in the Bundesliga, this round of games is the last game before the Bundesliga winter break.
Although Bayern Munich was held to a 1-1 draw at home by Monchengladbach, they still led the second place Bayer Leverkusen by as many as 9 points and won the Bundesliga half-time championship.
With such a huge lead, it is difficult for second-placed Bayer Leverkusen or third-placed Dortmund to catch up. This season's Bundesliga championship is probably already in Bayern's possession.
In Serie A, Lazio, in a strong dialogue with Inter Milan, won the victory with Klose's only goal in the 82nd minute, beating the Nerazzurri.
Juventus defeated Atalanta 3-0 to consolidate its top position in the standings.
Naples was also quite tragic. After conceding one goal first, they scored two goals to tie the score to 2-1. However, in the 86th and 89th minutes, their opponents scored two goals within three minutes and were defeated at home.
The opponent won with a score of 3-2.
Naples fans experienced a roller coaster experience from losing the ball, reversing the ball, and finally being reversed and defeated by their opponents.
It is said that a home fan suffered a heart attack after the game and was sent to the hospital.
With such an exciting game, fans with heart problems must pay close attention.
In the Premier League, Manchester United and Manchester City both defeated their opponents with a score of 3-1 and ended up firmly in the top two in the standings.
The Red Army Liverpool, on the other hand, outrageously lost to Aston Villa with a score of 1-3 at their home stadium, shocking all the media and fans.
In this upset, I don’t know how many football gamblers will lose money and call the Red Army useless.
At the same time, this weekend, the Club World Cup also held its final competition.
Al Ahli of Egypt lost 0-2 to Monterrey of Mexico in the third and fourth place finals and could only be ranked fourth. Monterrey finished third.
In the final, Corinthians relied on No. 9 forward Guerrero's winning goal in the 68th minute to defeat the Champions League champion Chelsea 1-0 and win the 2012 Club World Cup, breaking the record of the Club World Cup being dominated by Europe in recent years.
The team's monopoly pattern has helped South America regain the Club World Cup title that it had lost for several years.
