Chapter 631: Top 4! Top 4!

Seeing Ricardo's goal was invalidated, the players on the bench took a sigh of relief.
Messi was almost about to stand up, and then sat back silently.
"Don't worry," Guardiola comforted him. "The situation has not been met before you must be played. Believe your teammates, they can defeat any strong enemy. I hope you can fill the bench with 90 Minutes to ensure that your injury does not worsen. "
Messi smiled bitterly: "I do have confidence in my teammates, but I also know exactly what Ricardo can do."
Guardiola sighed, "He is indeed one of the best players in football today, Leo, he is on par with you."
"No, he is better than me now. Although only a little stronger, but the gap is the gap, I must admit it," Messi said frankly, "but I will continue to improve. I am only 26 years old and I am not completely Realize my potential. I believe I will catch up with him someday. "
Ricardo was very angry. He was pretty sure he wasn't offside, just that he started too fast and made the side mistakenly think he was offside. Inzaghi had encountered such grievances many times.
If you look at VAR after a few years, you can see that there is no solution now.
The referee insisted on the penalty.
Although not long after, the big screen above the pitch played the scene, clearly showing that Ricardo was not offside.
But this goal has been blown away.
In the next long period of time, QPR shrank back again, and although Barcelona kept the ball in control, it was difficult to get the ball into the QPR's penalty area.
They didn't have a high point in the frontcourt, nor did they directly hit the ball into the penalty area.
So the two sides were deadlocked, and Barcelona's possession rate continued to rise.
By the 35th minute, Barcelona's possession had reached 64%.
For comparison, Barcelona's ball possession rate was 54% in the last game, which is a rare game where Barcelona's ball possession rate did not reach 60%.
Before the end of the first half, as QPR players' attention dropped, Barcelona made two very threatening offensives.
First, Iniesta suddenly blocked, Fabregas kicked off the penalty area, and the football flew off the baseline.
Then Pedro sent a good pass for Villa, who left a shot from the left of the penalty area.
It is worth noting that although both have some threats, they are completed outside the penalty area.
Soon the referee whistled to signal the end of the first half.
Throughout the first half, Barcelona made only three shots in the penalty area, all of which were blocked.
Their total number of shots reached 11 and their number of positive shots was 0.
In contrast, QPR only completed 4 shots, but 3 shots. And all these 4 shots were completed in the penalty area.
It can be said that although QPR's offense is not many, it is very fatal every time.
Had it not been for Valdes' bravery and referee help, Barcelona would have fallen behind.
During the intermission, Simone praised the players for their performance.
Although not leading, although the performance of the players except Ricardo and Neymar was not dazzling.
However, the players played their own level at the Camp Nou and strictly implemented the tactical requirements of Simone, which is commendable.
"Kick this way, we can win!" Simone exclaimed, "I need you to concentrate on the next 45 minutes, and then we can make the Champions League quarter-final for the first time in history!"
The players laughed. In the past two seasons, they have created too many teams for the first time and have started to be a little immune to the first.
But the Champions League semi-finals, it sounds wonderful, isn't it?
For the club, entering the top 4 and stopping the top 8 is also related to a bonus gap of more than 5 million euros and millions of euros in ticket revenue.
The season tickets for Loftus Road do not include tickets for the Champions League games. Tickets for the Champions League vary according to the distance of the seat. The cheapest seat is £ 45 and the most expensive seat is £ 260. 18,000 seats can make QPR income close to 200 Million pounds.
What can 2 million pounds do? Can help the club sign another monster star like Icardi.
So the club seniors still hope that the team can enter the top four.
Of course, you can't put too much pressure on the players.
At this time, for the new Champions League QPR, what is needed is decompression to allow players to play better.
The second half started.
Barcelona seemed to be a little impatient.
After failing to reach the QPR penalty area after a few minutes of passing, Fabregas forced a long shot at 25 meters from the goal and hit the defender in the 49th minute.
Miranda immediately passed the ball to the midfield.
Ricardo surpassed Pique in the race and ran after taking the ball. At 30 meters from the goal, Ricardo suddenly sent a straight plug and Modric, who had been running beside him, rushed up and was in the penalty area Take the ball, spike it off Alves, and form a one-on-one with Valdes.
Valdes had to attack, but Modric shook his ankle and passed the ball to Neymar, who was unmarked at the far end.
Neymar easily pushed the empty goal, he did not live up to the expectations of the QPR goal ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Neymar Goalllll! In the 50th minute of the game, QPR took the lead away! Modric's calmness and selflessness created the goal. "
"With Ricardo's QPR, it's extremely sharp to fight back! Now Barcelona have encountered a problem. They must score 2 goals to continue to advance, otherwise they will miss the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in 7 seasons! "
After waiting for Guardiola to say hello, Messi has started to warm up.
In this situation, he must take the risk of aggravated injuries, or Barcelona will have no future at all.
After the goal, the QPR continued to defend.
In ten minutes, they hardly passed halftime, but Barcelona didn't make it into QPR's penalty area, they just shot two feet outside the penalty area.
Messi's role for Barcelona is still indispensable, especially when the opponent is intensive defense, Messi formed a breakthrough after taking the ball, can disrupt the opponent's formation, and is expected to break the opponent's tenacious defense.
With the exception of Messi, no other player in Barcelona has such a single combat capability.
In the 62nd minute, Messi played for Fabregas and Huluwa returned to the center position. In addition, Batla replaced Adriano, who became a colander.
Messi just came out and broke through two consecutively to make a great pass. Iniesta caught the ball in the penalty area and smashed Miranda for a long shot, which was held by Handanovic.
1 minute later, Iniesta and Messi hit the wall, the latter shot from the left side of the penalty area and was saved by Handanovic, but Villa overshot and failed to form a supplementary shot.
Seeing this, Simone immediately replaced. Eric Dale came on the back, replaced Naingerland, and enhanced the defense.
