May 7, Conch Stadium.

Before this day, Manchester United defeated Arsenal three-to-one away in the British derby, plus a 1-0 home victory in Arsenal in the first leg, and finally reached the Champions League final with a score of four-to-one. This is their two consecutive years of reaching the Champions League final. The last time they lost to Mallorca in the final, who will they face this time?

This answer will be announced soon at the Conch Stadium on May 7!

"We will win because it's at the glorious Conch Stadium, where we have never lost... to the fourth consecutive Champions League final? Yes, I think so. For Mallorca now, only five consecutive Champions League titles can stimulate our hearts..."

Before the game, Jose seemed extremely high-profile: "We are better than Barcelona, ​​there is no doubt that we are now one point ahead in the league, and we have only lost two games in various competitions this season, which is not particularly important. Mallorca is the strongest ever, and they deserve all kinds of great achievements and honors."

Guardiola's counterattack was much more low-key: "We didn't think about winning at Conch Stadium. Of course, if we had the opportunity to break Jose's home unbeaten record, it would be a thing that would make us happy. However, our goal is only the triple crown. To achieve this wish, all we have to do is to get a goal-scoring draw on the road. I don't think it's difficult to get this result."

This showdown attracted countless people to watch. It is said that more than one billion people around the world will watch the live broadcast of this game, and there are more than one hundred countries and regions that broadcast this game. This data can be compared with the World Cup finals - but now the development of football is that the club is stronger than the national team - which team is better than Mallorca? Compared with the Brazilian national team, their defense is better, their offense is stronger than the Italian national team, and their midfield is more dominant than the Argentina national team...

After the 1998 World Cup, some media once used Juventus as an example, believing that Juventus is better than Brazil, France, Italy and the Netherlands, which performed the best in the World Cup. As a result, Juventus began a rapid decline this season, so that that report became a laughing stock. Now there is no such doubt. No national team seems to be as perfect as Mallorca, not to mention that Barcelona's ability seems to be worse than them!

As long as you are a fan, you won’t want to miss this duel.

Jose sent all the main lineups in this game, goalkeeper Van der Sar, defenders Ivanovic, Mattias, Pepe and Puerta, midfielders Sena, Alonso, Kaka, forwards Iniesta, Silva and Torres. Barcelona is not to be outdone, goalkeeper Valdes, defenders Alves, Pique, Puyor, Abidal, midfielders Yayatoure, Busquets, Xavi, strikers Messi, Etoo, and Heleb.

This season, Busquets is a newcomer who emerged from Barcelona's midfield. He has replaced Keita in the midfield and has become Barcelona's main force. He is from the Lamacia Football School and has excellent footwork, strong scheduling ability, and has a good defense. He cooperates with Xavi in ​​the midfield. Although Heleb's performance is slightly worse after joining, it is not too bad. Basically, he and Boyan will compete for a main position, and there is also a Pedro, an outstanding young player who is also promoted from the second team.

Barcelona's youth training has indeed produced a lot of fruitful results.

After the game started, it was not a dull game as some people imagined. Mallorca gave up the tactic of back and forth dispatch, but used their previous fast back and forth transmission to tear the opponent's defense at the beginning, while Barcelona was looking for opportunities step by step.

Just two minutes into the game, Matthias, who was pressing at high positions, stole Messi's ball in the middle line, and then quickly passed it straight to Torres in front. After Torres unloaded the ball, he almost formed a one-on-one strike, but was destroyed by Puyol, who quickly returned to defense. Mallorca almost took the lead.

After Mallorca launched the attack first, Barcelona quickly organized a counterattack. Etoo received a pass from Xavi on the left. Before Puerta could force him to come up, he shot directly outside the penalty area. The ball went out of the far post.

Three minutes later, Messi received the ball from the side, dribbled the ball with his small step and dodged Ivanovic's defense, then broke into the penalty area from the bottom. Pepe, who quickly made up the position, blocked Messi, and Messi passed the ball, Xavi crossed and hit Puerta's body and turned toward the goal. Matthias cleared the ball with a barb on the goal line.

The pace of both sides played very fast at the beginning, which seemed to indicate that there would be many goals in this game...

In the ninth minute, the moment that made all Mallorca fans start to cheer has finally arrived!

Puerta intervened with an assist from the left, and after receiving Alonso's pass, he quickly passed the ball directly in the penalty area - this is what makes him better than Riser. He is a winger and is not only good at crossing from the bottom. He is also excellent in this kind of straight pass. So after Riser played the main player for half a season, he was gradually suppressed by Puerta in the competition. First, Puerta is getting better and better, and second, Puerta is more suitable for Mallorca's style!

The straight pass fell to Kaka's feet, who was in front of the ball. After Kaka received the ball, he turned around and shot quickly. The ball hit Puyol and bounced back. Iniesta, who followed the ball at the back, faced the falling ball and shot directly in the air!

The ball flew into the upper corner of the goal like a shell! Facing the goal with a tricky and powerful shot, Valdes made a save move, but still could not stop the goal from entering the net!

A huge cheer burst out in an instant in the stands, and Mallorca fans stood up one after another, suppressing the shouts of more than 3,000 Barcelona fans in an instant - their team scored a goal!

Since you scored, it would be easy to deal with. This is the idea of ​​all Mallorca fans. They have seen it many times. As long as Mallorca can score first, they will be able to firmly control the situation of the entire game in their own hands and gradually expand the offensive again. In the end, the victory must belong to Mallorca!

The Barcelona players were stunned, but their psychological adjustment ability was still very good. They quickly adjusted their psychology. Valdes grabbed the ball and kicked it near the center circle. Etoo held the ball in his arms and placed it at the opening point of the center circle, waiting for the start of the game.

Guardiola nodded off the court. It was just a goal, and there was nothing to worry about. If Barcelona equalize the score next time, then it was Mallorca's turn to be anxious - they did not get any away goals at Camp Nou!

Seeing the Barcelona players look like this, Jose smiled.

He is different from those struggling head coaches. He has already received enough honors and cares about it that he can meet strong enough opponents. Only when such powerful opponents are defeated by them will the honors they receive appear more meaningful!

In the process of reaching the top, you must encounter all kinds of strong players and then reach the top of glory - now they are at the peak, and of course they have to face the challenges of various powerful enemies!

This Barcelona team is the biggest strong enemy!

After the celebration, Mallorca's players quickly got into the state and began to get entangled with the opponent in the midfield. In this game, both sides gave up the tactics from the previous confrontation because they knew that this tactic was too tiring to fight, especially against opponents with equally excellent control, and it was also very dangerous. Although no one scored a goal in the last confrontation, it was difficult to achieve this situation when both sides were fully focused. A little relaxation may cause the consequences of collapse.

Therefore, both sides played their excellent offensive characteristics in this game, and used constant and rapid transmission to find the opponent's shortcomings in the midfield. This style of play can be said to be an enhanced version of the grinding offensive style, which requires higher requirements for players' transmission and coordination and high-level pressing ability. In today's world, only Mallorca and Barcelona can do this.

In such an offense, Mallorca still has a slight advantage because their system is more mature and the cooperation between players must be more tacit.

In the 17th minute, Mallorca created another good opportunity. Kaka still brought the ball to the frontcourt under the constant interference of Yaya Toure, and then distributed it to Silva on the left. Silva got the ball and knocked back. Kaka, who was in front, took the ball and shot hard from a long distance, and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.

Three minutes later, Iniesta, who was returning to defense, knocked down Hleb, and Barcelona received a direct free kick 30 meters away from the goal, and Alves' free kick missed.

In the 24th minute, Kaka sent out a beautiful overhead ball. Torres, who was in front, quickly stepped forward to form a single shot. Valdes attacked in time to destroy it first.

Jose on the sidelines smiled slightly, and then made a gesture to the field - sending more than the top ball. Barcelona's most feared high-pressure is actually this. If the opponent's midfield control and passing the ball behind him are not worse than theirs, such high-pressure is very dangerous. Just now, Valdes made a timely attack to resolve this almost single-shot opportunity, but how many times can Valdes resolve it? How many times can he make a timely attack? This kind of defense itself is no last solution. As long as you grasp this shortcoming, it is easy to form a large number of single-shots!

Mallorca has such conditions, and Kaka and Alonso have excellent long passes. Matthias behind him also has a beautiful long pass. Even Senna has such ability. Whether Torres, Silva or Iniesta in the frontcourt, they are all good at speed and technology. Just using a quick knife can tear Barcelona's defense line to pieces!

At this moment, Jose has never been so confident. As long as he continues to play like this, Mallorca will have much more chances to win a single shot than Barcelona, ​​with more opportunities and more opportunities to seize. Even if he scores a goal, Mallorca can still have an absolute advantage!

After receiving Jose's instructions, Mallorca immediately started this style of play, and Barcelona's ability to adapt to it seemed to be a little worse than Mallorca. After just one minute, Mallorca created another opportunity!

Valdes cleared the ball out of the sideline just now. Puerta ran up and threw the ball into the court. Alonso received the ball towards the sideline. Before the opponent's Yaya Toure came up, he suddenly shook his ankle and sent the ball directly to Barcelona's half!

Silva, who was on the left, rushed to the ball that flew towards Barcelona's halftime!
