The heart-wrenching 3:3 shows Barcelona s disadvantages! Champions League second leg: Why eliminate Inter Milan?

Updated and ups and downs, heart-stirring!

In the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Barcelona and Inter Milan competed 3:3! This is not just a goal battle, but the whole process, the way and timing of the goal are all classic.

1. Fair results Before the game, both the media and the fans were optimistic that Barcelona could play at home.

This is not surprising. After all, the La Liga giants have been in good shape recently. The league has been advancing all the way, and the King's Cup has defeated the powerful Real Madrid again and successfully won the cup. In contrast, Inter Milan has been much darker, with 1 draw and 3 losses in the last four games, and its morale is just average.

Therefore, when challenging the strong Barcelona away, fans even bluntly said that "as long as you lose no more than 2, you can accept it."

However, Inter Milan, which is extremely resilient, not only did not lose, but also almost overturned Barcelona! (Mhitaryan's toes offside)

However, Barcelona hit the door frame many times, which also made everyone feel very regretful.

Inter Milan took a 2-goal lead in the first 20 minutes of the game, which surprised many fans. Barcelona obviously cannot accept this situation. Even when facing Inter Milan's intensive defense, they can still use Yamal to break through this point and make their opponent's defense line full of holes.

Dumfries helped Inter Milan lead 3:2, and his lucky goal once gave the team a glimmer of victory. However, Rafinia's long shot once again showed Barcelona's superb attack power.

3:3 result, both Dumfries and Inzaghi were satisfied after the game. Even Mkhitaryan was still helpless about the regretful offside, but he still admitted that Barcelona is indeed very strong now.

And Barcelona did not win, which made the team and fans a little disappointed. However, looking at the performance of the whole game, except for Yamal and Pedri, most of the other players of the team have almost not performed as they should. Therefore, it is completely acceptable to be able to equalize the score when you fall behind many times.

2. Barcelona's away game comeback? Overcome several major problems first

1. The physical fitness crisis brought about by intensive schedules.

I believe that Barcelona fans have a deep impression of this. It takes three or four days to play a game, and every opponent is not easy. Barcelona, ​​which is determined to win the championship in multiple lines, has encountered a huge physical test.

A few days ago, in the final of the Copa del Rey, Barcelona fought against Real Madrid for 120 minutes, and finally relied on Conde's magical blow to pass the level.

is just a simple physical recovery, and it is necessary to fight against Serie A powerhouse Inter Milan. Everyone has seen the process of this game. Faced with a situation where he was behind two goals at the beginning, Barcelona had to start a fierce attack in advance, which consumed a lot of physical fitness. So much so that after the final whistle was blown, powerful players like Rafinia and Inigor fell on the court and could not get up for a long time.

In the next 10 days, Barcelona will continue to have three hard games, playing away against Valladolid in the league, followed by the second leg of the away game against Inter Milan. There was no time to rest, and it was another league championship battle with Real Madrid.

It can be said that only when facing Valladolid, Frick can rotate in the lineup, and he dare not be careless in any of the other two games. But even if Valladolid has been demoted early, Frick should not be careless.

2. Tactical drawbacks

First, set ball! 3 goals conceded, 2 originated from set balls. At the same time, it also created a classic battle between Dumfries.

There is no doubt that when returning to Inter Milan's home court, set pieces are still a weapon for Inzaghi to score. In just a few days of preparation, how Frick can overcome this problem depends on whether the team can advance.

The whole game, Inter Milan is completely at a disadvantage in terms of offensive cooperation. However, the team took advantage of the opportunity of set pieces and achieved the advantage in the score, which made Barcelona quite disappointed.

Secondly, the gap after defending at high positions. This problem has been more than a day or two. Barcelona's oppressive style requires the entire defense line to step on the midfield line and even press forward.

All the season, each opponent has been working hard to study how to crack it, but the final effect is not ideal due to the limitations of strength and tactical system. However, in this game, Inter Milan played a substantial threat.

In the 75th minute, the offside between the slightest slightest in Mkhitaryan, is a typical representative. This has boosted many Barcelona fans.

Of course, this is also directly related to the ability of the full-back, which is a different matter.

3. Injuries, restricting Barcelona's overall combat effectiveness

. Friends who have watched the game should have a feeling that most of Barcelona's threatening offensives are created through Yamal. Ormo in the middle lane did not show his characteristics, and the entire left lane was almost paralyzed!

From this point of view, we can also make further arguments for the above "3:3 is a fair result". After all, it seems that the team has the advantage, but in fact the threatening offensive is not full bloom, but relying solely on Yamal to support it.

Authentic, Yamal is indeed the wealth of Barcelona's offensive end. But in the next round, Inter Milan will definitely defend him, sending 2 to 3 people, and the system will limit Yamal's breakthrough and incision.

Now, Conde, who is the best in cooperation with Yamal, is injured (calf injury, it is reported that he will miss many games). Who will share Yamal's worries? In the center position, Lewandowski's fulcrum was gone, almost all of the team's crosses failed. Although Ferrantores has indeed been in excellent form recently, he needs to constantly intersperse the running position and his teammates give him wonderful passes to show his power. There is a big difference between Lewandowski's characteristics.

Lewandow can use its own fulcrum to create opportunities for its opponents, and the tactical changes on the offensive end will be richer. It will also invisibly increase the team's success rate of crossing from the wing. If Lewandowski still cannot play in the next round, it will be difficult for Barcelona to rely solely on transmission and cooperation.

Finally, can Valde return to the court? It is reported that Barde has started training with ball, but Flick still seems very cautious when he can play.

At least at the moment, at the left back position, no one can replace Barde's role. In the league facing Valladolid, Valde may continue to recover from his injuries, but everyone hopes that Valde can play in the second round a week later when he fights Inter Milan. After all, the cooperation between Valde and Rafinia will significantly improve Barcelona's left-side combat effectiveness, and will also indirectly alleviate Yamal's pressure.
