Because of the presence of many Milan Fans, the Camp Nou Stadium became distinct and divided.

Whether in terms of attendance or the intensity of the confrontation, it wasn’t inferior to a UEFA Champions League final.

Today’s match is indeed very important for Milan.

If this corner kick could directly result in a goal, it would be very advantageous for the upcoming situation.

If you had to pick the most relaxed person.

It would definitely be Guardiola.

Guardiola, dressed in a gray suit, stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, showing no sign of nervousness at all.

This time, the prayers worked, Huang Kaiwen recovered his health.

With Huang Kaiwen healthy, the entire Milan team was boosted with high morale.

In this situation, he could hardly figure out how to lose.

His consideration also led him to start the Bender brothers today.

Barca’s movement and passing are frequent, and if veterans like Gattuso and Ambrosini were on the field, they might not keep up at times, which would be very deadly.

Barca can pass the ball away in a second.

So he chose Ramos to partner with the well-performing Van Bommel, and selected Rakitic for the attacking midfielder role, who has amazing mobility and defensive capabilities.

The midfield trio, with the ability to distribute, push forward, and defend, is his best option against Barca.

It can even be said that most of the midfield’s focus is on defense, with long balls directly seeking the front line for attacks.

Without Ramos, there’s no good option for the right-back.

At this time, letting the Bender brothers play would have better coordination.

That’s why the Bender brothers started today.

Sven Bender is still a bit inferior to Godin in all aspects, even though both are similar in height, but standing in the opponent’s penalty area, Sven Bender gives Guardiola a somewhat frail impression.

Barca’s defensive line is generally not tall, with Mascherano, Puyol, and Alves just over 1.70 meters.

Only Piqué stands tall at over 1.90 meters.

In such circumstances, Busquets needs to join the aerial battle.

Standing at the corner flag area, Huang Kaiwen observed the situation in the penalty area, not relaxing despite his height advantage.

His eyes constantly searching for Barca’s weaknesses.

Scanning around, he found Barca players positioned very carefully.

Huang Kaiwen wasn’t too disappointed.

After all, in the league there are physically strong teams like Athletic Bilbao, and Barca surely has its own insights into aerial defense.

After a running start, Huang Kaiwen aimed at Ramos’s forehead and kicked the ball out.

Pop—the ball flew straight towards the center of Barca Penalty Area.

As Ramos jumped, Piqué almost simultaneously jumped.

However, his explosiveness wasn’t as strong as Ramos’s, the ball speed was fast, and when the ball reached the center, Piqué’s jump was lower than Ramos’s.

Even so, he still had the height advantage.

Both touched the ball, which flew towards the far corner due to two opposing forces.

At the arc, Rakitic hurriedly moved forward, but Puyol was quicker, raising his right foot high and cleared the ball out of the penalty area with his back to it.

Messi and Pedro, standing outside the penalty area, rushed out almost simultaneously.

Pedro took the ball first, splitting it to the side, while Messi charged forward with the ball on the right flank.

Zambrotta chased frantically.

His strides were larger than Messi’s, but his entire body was teetering.

The two ran to the top corner of the big penalty area, Zambrotta could no longer hold, letting Messi succeed in carrying the ball past.

Van Bommel, always running back, didn’t rush to intercept.

Pedro moved to the left flank, constantly eyeing Villa behind him.

Van Bommel pretended to start and then suddenly decelerated, at this moment Messi indeed made a reverse triangle pass inside the penalty area, with Van Bommel well-prepared, extending his foot to intercept the ball, Zambrotta taking possession and running towards Barca half-field.

"Excellent, Van Bommel defended very smartly this time."

"Yes, he knew Messi was about to pass, but Messi’s skill isn’t in passing, it’s when he dribbles past you consecutively, your mind has to stay that clear. Many players panic when Messi gets past them, especially during his consecutive direction changes."

"Indeed, Messi’s dribbling prowess in tight spaces is among the best in football. Most defenders can keep up for two moves but not the third, making it nearly impossible to defend."

"AC Milan’s counterattack speed is quite good, Zambrotta passed the ball directly to Huang Kaiwen after taking two steps. Huang Kaiwen starting while Villa gave chase frantically; Huang Kaiwen stopped abruptly and shook off Villa and Messi behind him, dribbling through the middle... "

After crossing the midfield line, it was almost clear sailing.

Barca’s defensive line was positioned high, standing near the midfield line.

Upon seeing Huang Kaiwen advancing with the ball, their first reaction was to turn around and run back.

Puyol felt something was off, but he couldn’t just stay up front.

The entire Barca defensive line moved back to the vicinity of the penalty area.

"What are you doing, what are you doing! "

Enrico frantically waved his arms and shouted, "This is leaving the midfield and front out of sync!"

Damn!

Puyol’s heart skipped a beat.

He finally understood why he felt uneasy earlier.

No protection around Busquets.

After Huang Kaiwen beat Xavi with speed, Busquets directly charged towards Huang Kaiwen.

But Huang Kaiwen didn’t even make a dribble move, instead his right foot pulled the ball forward, directly sending the ball behind Busquets, immediately bursting forward himself.

Busquets, with not much muscle but tall stature and high center of gravity.

When he stopped abruptly and turned, Huang Kaiwen had already dashed over a meter ahead.
