The match between the Chinese team and the Maldives was played on September 8th, and the match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona was on September 12th. There was only a four-day gap between them. Considering the time spent on the road, in fact There is not much preparation time left for Atletico Madrid.

Fortunately, this is the same for Barcelona-they also have international footballers from all over the world, especially those players who play in South America, and they spend no less time on the road than Gao Zheng.

And Barcelona is still an away game this time, they have to travel 600 kilometers from Barcelona to Madrid.

But even so, both teams still have the strongest lineups that can be discharged.

Atletico Madrid's Gao Zheng is naturally the starting lineup, and Barcelona's Messi also appeared in the starting lineup.

You must know that Messi did not even participate in Barcelona's training this week because he was recruited into the national team. But even so, Enrique still put him in the starting lineup. It can be seen that he relies on and attaches great importance to Messi.

Enrique believes that even such a Messi is enough to help the team and is an indispensable person for the team.

It turns out he was right.

Only three minutes into the game, Messi made a pass from the right and the ball was blocked by Atletico Madrid defender Jimenez, but the referee Antonio Mateu Laos whistled the whistle and it was not awarded A corner for Barcelona, ​​but... a penalty!

"Penalty?!" Jose Maria exclaimed. "How could it be...a penalty kick?!"

Boos followed.

But the subsequent slow-motion replay allowed everyone to see clearly what happened between the flashes-Jimenez blocked Messi's cross from the bottom line with his hands.

This of course has to blow a penalty.

"Jimenez's move is really..." Jose Maria sighed helplessly after watching the slow motion of the game.

His action not only earned Barcelona a penalty, but he himself received a yellow card.

As the main central defender, he received a yellow card in the first three minutes. How will he play the next game?

Every Atletico Madrid fan has a shadow cast over his heart.

"Continuous campaigns and running around did not seem to affect Messi's state. He was very active after the opening and successfully made a penalty!" The Catalan commentator was very excited.

※※※

Messi, who made the penalty, must have personally taken the penalty.

There have been two games played this season, and Messi has yet to score. This is very rare for Messi.

The last time he failed to score after the first two rounds of the league, it dates back to the 2007-2008 season. At that time, he only got angry in the fourth round of the league. He played twice in the first three rounds, and once he was not included in the squad and failed to score.

At that time, Messi was not the core of Barcelona. He played 28 times in the league that season and only scored 10 goals. Made nine appearances in the Champions League and scored six goals.

Since then, he has scored at least one goal in the first two rounds of the league every season.

Messi, standing in front of the penalty spot, looked very calm. After the referee blew his whistle, he ran up and shot.

He shot the football towards the lower left corner of the goal. Although Oblak judged the right direction, he still couldn't catch such a tricky shot.

Although he stretched his arms hard, he still couldn't touch the ball.

The football flew into the goal he was guarding!

"Messi!!! Steady!!!" The Catalan commentator raised his arms and shouted. "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! Barcelona took the lead away! Only three minutes into the game, what a fantastic start!"

The entire Calderon Stadium fell silent.

This start is really too bad for them...

※※※

Taking the lead in three minutes gave Barcelona a boost of morale in the next game, constantly hitting Atletico Madrid's defense.

Atlético Madrid is obviously at home, but they are playing like an away game. In the face of Barcelona's aggressive offensive, they can only shrink their defense.

In the first fifteen minutes, Barcelona was basically attacking.

Atlético Madrid didn't get an attacking opportunity until the 17th minute - when Griezmann pressed Javier Mascherano in the frontcourt, broke the Argentine's ball, and gave the football to Gao Zheng. Gao Zheng dribbled the ball into the penalty area, shot from a small angle with his left foot, and went above the crossbar.

This is Atletico Madrid's first shot of the game.

However, this shot did not reverse the passive situation faced by Atletico Madrid.

In the next twenty-fifth minute, Barcelona got a corner kick. After Rakitic drove it out, Suarez headed the ball from the front point and rubbed it back. Messi ran into the space at the back point and shot directly!

The football hit the crossbar amid the exclamations of the Atletico Madrid fans.

"Atlético Madrid escaped a catastrophe! But it's not good to go on like this. Obviously Barcelona has the upper hand and continue to let them attack like this. I think it will be a matter of time before they lose the ball..." Although Jose Maria said a lot Atlético Madrid fans will not like to hear it, but he has a good point.

If this continues, Atletico Madrid is indeed in danger. If you lose the ball again, you might lose this game...

※※※

The Barcelona fans are excitedly looking forward to a successful revenge - although none of the Barcelona players mentioned revenge before the game. But judging from the game, if these players don't say anything, it doesn't mean they don't want revenge. They just hold back their energy and want to talk about their results, and they don't want to talk before the game.

That's how football is supposed to be. Words come out of the mouth, but in the final analysis, it's still up to the feet to speak.

Only the winner has the right to speak.

But just when the Barcelona fans were looking forward to the team's successful revenge, an accident happened on the field.

In the twenty-eighth minute, Gao Zheng took the ball in the front court. When he started to get rid of Vermaelen who was defending him, he accelerated and kicked out, and Vermaelen struggled to keep up. But Gao Zheng made an emergency stop and changed direction.

It was this sudden stop and change of direction that made Vermaelen strain his thigh when he braked suddenly, and he fell to the ground slumped.

Gao Zheng took the opportunity to break through his defense. If Mascherano hadn't made up for it in time, he would have gone straight into the penalty area.

In the end, under the interference of Mascherano, Gao Zheng's shot was saved by Barcelona's goalkeeper Bravo.

But this is not important anymore, everyone's attention is focused on Vermaelen who fell to the ground.

The Barcelona team doctor came on the field for the first time, checked Vermaelen, and then quickly came to a conclusion-the Dutch international couldn't hold on anymore and had to be replaced!

This is really a blow to Barcelona, ​​which is in the limelight-because Pique was suspended with a red card in the Super Cup, this game was not even selected for the squad. The two central defenders sitting on the bench are the young Bartra and Mathieu.

Seeing that the team's momentum is just right, but now they are forced to make substitutions, using up a substitution quota early...
