, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!
"Is it a penalty? Is it a penalty?"
The Spanish commentator's originally desperate face showed a trace of anxiety.
He saw the referee running towards Arsenal's penalty area, surrounded by many Arsenal players, pointing to the penalty spot and blowing the whistle.
"Penalty kick!
!
——”
"Messi!
In the final stage, he helped Barcelona gain a valuable opportunity to equalize the score!
"
"Messi! Messi!
"
The Spanish commentator was so excited that it was beyond words.
This goal is simply too precious.
And for those Arsenal fans and Premier League commentators.
It's a nightmare.
They finally completed the comeback.
Seeing that victory was in sight, a penalty kick was awarded in the final stage.
This is unacceptable to them.
In the arena, Mustafi's expression was extremely disappointed.
This season, he was awarded a red card for a penalty kick due to handball defense, which also caused him to completely lose his main position.
And now, this scene is happening again.
He looked down at his arm, feeling extremely regretful as to why he had to raise his hand.
This penalty is likely to cost Arsenal the victory, and he will forever be a sinner.
This result is unacceptable to Mustafi.
Lucky saw Mustafi's lost look, and he immediately walked over.
"Now is not the time to think about this, focus on the game!"
Immediately, Lucky walked towards Martinez again.
"give it to you!"
Martinez also nodded fiercely.
Although he has a good relationship with Messi, who is also the captain of his national team, in the league, each has its own master, and he will try his best to save the ball.
Of course, due to friendship reasons, Martinez will not make verbal attacks.
When Messi stood at the penalty spot, those Barcelona fans who were about to leave had basically returned to their seats.
From loss to hope, it took about ten minutes.
Now looking at this precious penalty kick, they also closed their eyes, clasped their hands, and prayed.
Messi is also under great pressure.
But he didn't show it. He looked down at the ball, without any eye contact or even word exchange with Martinez.
After the referee completed the arrangement, Messi slowly retreated.
At this moment, the air in the entire stadium seemed to solidify.
The tense atmosphere spread, and everyone's hearts beat with Messi's footsteps.
Beep!
A sharp whistle sounded.
Messi makes a decisive run-up.
Lucky kept his body tight, and he wanted to enter the game at the first moment when Martinez saved the ball.
The moment Messi touched the ball, Lucky's body shook subconsciously, and then he suddenly sighed and shook his head.
Messi kicked the ball towards the lower left corner, and Martinez guessed the right direction.
But the speed of the penalty kick was too fast, and the timing was tricky.
Martinez failed to catch the ball and the ball went into the net.
“Penalty scored!
! Messi!
! Penalty kick scored!
At the last moment of the game, Messi scored a goal!
"
"This game is 1-4, the total score of the two rounds is 5-5, both sides have four away goals and one home goal. If in the injury time of the next few minutes, neither team can score. If the goal is reached, the game will enter 30 minutes of overtime. If no goal is scored in the overtime, the game will eventually lead to a brutal penalty shootout! "
The Spanish commentator is excited.
At least Barcelona's hopes of promotion are guaranteed.
Messi's explosion in the final stage played an extremely critical role.
Now the three substitution quotas for both sides have been exhausted.
Physical energy is basically exhausted.
They all wanted to seize the final 4 minutes of injury time, but it was difficult to compete in the final game.
This is also true. At the end of the 4-minute injury time, neither side scored a goal.
The game was extended into overtime.
The rest time is very short, so after the players come off the field, they rest around the coaching bench.
Everyone sat in a circle, sweat dripping from their faces, and their tiredness could not be concealed.
There will be one more substitution in overtime, but to be honest, Arsenal can't find a good substitution option.
The situation in Barcelona is not much better.
After Lucky came to the sidelines, he immediately shouted: "Come here with those ice packs!"
Immediately, an assistant coach knocked the ice pack into a bucket and brought it over.
Lucky picked up a few ice bags, shuttled between the players, and stuffed them into their shorts.
These can help them relieve muscle congestion problems.
It can also relieve some fatigue.
In the last 30 minutes, this will be a battle of wills, which will severely test the willpower of the players.
Lucky also sat on the floor, stuffed the ice pack into his crotch, feeling the coolness, and looked at Mourinho.
Mourinho stood on the court and continued to encourage.
At this stage of the game, the so-called tactics no longer play a big role. Everything depends on the performance of the players.
Verbal motivation is more important than tactics.
For this reason, he even took the initiative to comfort Mustafi.
This also made Mustafi's expression relieved a lot.
The situation in Barcelona is similar.
Iniesta could no longer hold on, and they could only make substitutions at the beginning of overtime.
Also suffering from physical limitations is Messi.
Messi was retching in the final stage of the game, but there was no substitution place to replace Messi, and Barcelona still relied on Messi. It can be said that this game put more pressure on Barcelona Bigger.
Arsenal can at least still run, but Barcelona can hardly run anymore.
The break entering overtime was short. After a brief repair, they returned to the field with the whistle.
Under the camera, fatigue has appeared on the expressions of the players of the two teams.
Now only the goalkeepers of both sides can maintain normal expression management.
On Arsenal's side, Giroud's entire face turned red.
His whole face turned red.
However, Giroud's hard work also brings great positive significance to Arsenal.
It’s similar here in Barcelona.
As Messi walked to the field, he had to retching several times from time to time, showing a look of physical exhaustion.
Lucky's side is better, his breathing is fairly even.
In order to keep his head clear, he even poured cold water on his head to cool it down.
In the first half of overtime, Arsenal took the lead.
Giroud stood in the center circle with his arms crossed.
He adjusted his breathing while feeling the little physical energy left.
No one expected that the game would drag on to this extent.
But they know very well that both they and Barcelona face the same limitations due to physical fitness. Therefore, how to better configure physical fitness and how to seize key opportunities are the most important issues.
Before the game started, Lucai still shouted loudly to motivate his teammates.
But their chants were overshadowed by the cheers from the crowd.
Barcelona fans are also cheering for the home team.
At this time, both Barcelona and Arsenal fans were extremely nervous.
They know very well that any next goal will affect the outcome of the game.
Arsenal and Barcelona are both on the verge of reaching their limits.
In this case, the first goal plays a decisive role.
"Overtime is the biggest test of the players' willpower."
"The 90-minute main game has consumed a lot of their physical fitness and energy, but they have to play a 30-minute overtime. In this case, only those who persevere and strive can win!"
"If Arsenal and Barcelona want to win, they both need to show enough will to fight!"
Beep!
!
At the beginning of the game, Giroud was knocked to the ground due to violation.
Jirou got up from the ground and shook his head helplessly.
He thought Barcelona would adopt certain foul tactics, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Just do it for the first goal!
A frontcourt set piece.
Lucky looked at the distance and decided to let Robertson take the penalty.
This time, no tactical set-piece was used, but the ball was passed directly to the center.
However, the pass was a little too big, and the ball was picked off by the opponent's goalkeeper Ter Stegen, who immediately kicked the ball and counterattacked directly.
But before Suarez could touch the ball, Jimenez rushed up and tipped the ball directly to Kanter.
Kanter stopped the ball and waited for a moment before passing it to Lucky who was retreating.
Lucky is given to Welbeck.
Welbeck is Arsenal's most important impact point in overtime.
There is no way.
Aubameyang and Saka were substituted, and Mane is still suspended.
There are not many available players left.
