Chapter 231 This Time It Was a Real Fall!
Suppressing Barcelona on the scene, Lazio is not only satisfied with this, if the advantage cannot be converted into a victory, it is useless.
So in the second half, Lazio still had to do their best to attack and strive for goals.
After suppressing the opponent on the scene, Lazio's shooting opportunities began to increase.
Because they have more attacks.
Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.
Thirteen minutes into the second half, Lazio tore through the Barcelona defense with a series of passes outside the Barcelona penalty area.
This time they opened the breakthrough from Marcos.
Then Cavani took a shot near the penalty spot, and the football was fast and ruthless!
Valdés couldn't make a save, and the football went into Barcelona's goal for the second time...
"2:0! Lazio leads Barcelona by two goals in the away game! The total score is 5:1! This game has completely lost suspense! Yes, the gap of four goals is difficult to make up for in the current state of Barcelona!"
"It's unbelievable... Lazio and Barcelona, two of the best teams in football today, are not evenly matched, but one-sided... Guardiola's team has nothing against his teacher's Lazio. Fight back!"
"Barcelona was completely blown away by Lazio at their home court! Even if 100,000 Barcelona fans came to Camp Nou today, it would not help! Their boos during the game did not affect Lazio's performance..."
"This is really an unacceptable result for Barcelona fans... Lazio, who they think is outdated, is able to play away from Barcelona without any power to fight back! This must make Barcelona fans particularly broken, but this is The fact. The fact is that Lazio is better than Barcelona! Or, let’s put it another way they are slightly more acceptable - in these two semi-finals, Lazio is better than Barcelona!"

Cavani's ball made the Nou Camp even quiet for a few seconds.
Although louder boos followed.
But that doesn't hide the panic among the Barcelona fans.
Even if they lost 1:3 away to Lazio,
Nor did these Barcelona fans think about being knocked out at home.
To them. Camp Nou is the greatest and strongest castle in the world, and it is absolutely impossible for any opponent to break through it.
In the end, I didn't expect that this greatest and strongest fortress would be so easily opened by Lazio...
Something must be wrong. right?
The Barcelona fans in the stands looked at each other. This resulted in a booing vacuum at the Camp Nou for a few seconds.
Fortunately, they reacted quickly, and now is not the time to be in a daze.
※ ※ ※
Guardiola is on the bench. I stared blankly at the cheering Lazio players in the stadium.
Although he didn't want to admit it, the facts were clearly in front of him.
He lost.
There were dozens of minutes left in the game, but he just lost.
He didn't believe that his team could score four goals in a row... no, five goals in a row. At this time, it is meaningless to tie the total score, we must win!
If you are facing those teams in the lower reaches of La Liga, Barcelona is certainly capable of pouring five goals in a row.
But facing a team of Lazio's level... Barcelona is absolutely impossible to score their five goals in a row...
The current situation is that it is not easy for Barcelona to score a goal in Lazio...
Barcelona lost, but was it a failure of ideas?
Guardiola didn't want to admit it. He thought that the failure of one game and two games could only show that Barcelona's luck was not good, and it couldn't explain anything else.
Guardiola firmly believes that his path is correct. If not, how was it possible for him to lead Barcelona to a treble in his first season in charge?
You must know that when he won the Champions Cup, he even shed tears with excitement.
Because he firmly believes that this is the right path.
※ ※ ※
After Lazio scored two goals, the pace of the game slowed down a bit. And with the total score leading Barcelona 5:1, Lazio naturally has no reason to continue the onslaught. Their players are not tireless robots, they are human beings, and they will also be exhausted.
Appropriately slowing down the rhythm and adjusting it will help the team recover quickly.
Lazio's rhythm slowed down, and Barcelona immediately felt the pressure disappear, and it was light.
They start trying to attack.
Although from the current point of view, it is already very slim to advance to the finals, but... we can't let the opponent shave our bald heads in our home court, can we?
Butzkes also took an active part in the offense and even got into the penalty area at one point.
In the 68th minute, Butzkes and his teammate Pedro made a two-for-one cooperation, and he dribbled the ball into the penalty area.
Lazio did not expect Butzkes to rush into the penalty area extremely.
The defense slowed down a bit.
As a result, when Chiellini stretched his legs to tackle the ball, he hooked Butzkes.
Butzkes fell forward in the penalty area.
"It's a penalty!!" shouted the Catalan commentator.
The Barcelona fans in the stands were also chanting: "Penalty kick-!!!"
The Barcelona players raised their arms.
Guardiola, who was originally sitting on the coach's bench, also stood up from his seat with his hands raised.
Almost everyone thought it was a penalty.
The on-duty referee Debrick did indeed blow his whistle.
Sitting on the ground, Chiellini raised his hands to show that he was innocent - of course he kicked Butzkes, but he was always a little lucky, thinking that the referee's angle was not good, and he didn't see anything...
The referee Debrick ran over.
At the same time he took out the yellow card from his breast pocket...
"Ah! It looks like a penalty! And Chiellini will receive a yellow card! If so, Chiellini will also miss the Champions League final! This is really... too bad luck!"
Chiellini had also been suspended a yellow card earlier, so this one made him look nervous.
He looked at the referee Debrick with some horror in his eyes.
Then he felt something was wrong...
If it's a penalty...
By convention, shouldn't the referee point to the penalty spot?
But Debrick didn't do that!
He just ran over, but didn't point to the penalty spot!
Could it be...
A somewhat incredible idea emerged in Chiellini's mind.
※ ※ ※
When Chang Sheng saw Butzkes fell in the penalty area, his heart tightened.
However, he immediately made a diving gesture and shouted from the sidelines: "Diving! 100%! It must be a diving! Don't be fooled by him again!"
Debrick is then seen running to the scene of the accident. He didn't make a penalty gesture - he didn't point to the penalty spot, which means it wasn't a penalty!
Then he threw Butzkes on the ground with a pained expression and hooked his hands, motioning him to stand up.
Butzkes looked dazed, but he didn't get up. He sat looking at the referee.
Debrick didn't wait for him to get up. Just show him the yellow card in your hand!
Yellow card for Butzkes!
Diving!
Debrick sentenced Butzkes to diving!
This is really... God's turning point!
Chang Sheng looked up to the sky and screamed from the sidelines.
"I said it was a flop, hahahaha!"
※ ※ ※
Guardiola looked very angry: "How could this be a flop! Chiellini really fouled! This is 100% a penalty!"
After Butzkes saw the result. Also angry, he jumped up from the ground without the pain of being shoveled by Chiellini.
He thought about the referee Debrick and roared: "He really fouled! He really fouled this time! I was really kicked!"
The referee Debrick ignored him, turned and ran away.
Trying to trick me by flopping again?
No matter how realistic your acting skills are. I'm not fooled anymore!
Butzkes looked at the back of the referee going away, looking very angry and helpless.
Then he looked back and saw Chiellini.
The Italian ran past him, spread his hands, shrugged, and grinned at him.
Butzkes was even more annoyed!
I really fell! This time it's really not a flop! Chiellini really kicked me!
※ ※ ※
The Barcelona fans in the stands uttered huge boos. This time the boos were not for Lazio players, but for coach Debrick-you must know that it was in the first half. When Debrick showed a yellow card to the player Meirelles who pulled up, they cheered and applauded for Debrick.
Now... Debrick has clearly betrayed them.
In their view, Debrick is favoring Lazio.
A slow-motion TV replay also cleared Butzkes.
Chiellini did kick Butzkes, causing Butzkes to lose his balance and fall to the ground.
So this should be a foul. There is nothing wrong with awarding penalties.
But the referee Debrick turned a blind eye!
And after seeing this scene, many commentators did not complain about Butzkes.
Instead, he laughed.
There was some schadenfreude in the laughter.
"In the first half, the flop tricked the referee, but this time the real flop was considered a flop...Butzkes is really in a cocoon!"
"It's so ironic! Because of the diving in the first half, the penalty in the second half just flew away...Barcelona lost a chance to score because of Butzquez!"
"We heard the cheers from the Barcelona fans in the stands when Butzquez diverted Meireles to a yellow card in the first half. They must have been very satisfied...but now, I really don't Want to hear how they felt when they had a great chance to score and lost it because of Butzkes' flopping!"
"Faced with such a scene, what can I say? I can only say... this is retribution!"
Only the Catalan commentator was furious: "Debrick made a very bad penalty! This is a penalty with absolutely no problems! Debrick turned a blind eye! This... is simply a scandal! FC Barcelona should appeal!"
