Viana passed the football to Deng Kai, who was catching up, and then made a move himself.
Deng Kai didn't wait for Viana to move, and directly passed the ball to Drogba's feet.
Drogba held Abelardo and passed the football to Quaresma.
Quaresma passed the ball directly into the penalty area without stopping.
Guardiola's mistake directly caused Barcelona's defense to be empty. In order to defend Drogba, their back line was in chaos.
After Quaresma's pass, Cristiano Ronaldo on the left ran out of the back of the penalty area and was absolutely open, with no one backhand.
boom!
Ronaldo stopped and shot, and the ball went straight to the near corner.
This is an absolutely daring shot from an expert.
Few players dare to handle the ball like this, especially when facing a wealthy team.
But there are some players who are more relaxed at times like this.
The football didn't give Reina any chance to save, and went directly into the net, setting off a white wave.
"GOAL! Cristiano Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo again! Scored twice!"
"Cristiano Ronaldo helped the team equalize with Barcelona at home."
"Quaresma's passing is very smart. I thought I could only see this pass from Deng Kai."
"I have to say that I must thank Deng Kai for this goal. His steal was too sharp. He even repeatedly passed by Guardiola who complained about the referee. Guardiola set a wrong example for everyone."
"When the referee doesn't blow the whistle, what you should do is not complain about the referee, but continue the game."
In the 55th minute, Deng Kai's long shot was caught by Reina.
In the 63rd minute, Simang made a pass from the wing. Kluivert's header hit the ball backwards. Rivaldo rushed to the ball, but the ball was too high and missed his scalp and flew out of the baseline.
The substitution card was played on the sidelines, and Barcelona made the first substitution.
They replaced Gerald Lopez with Xavi, the team's home-grown midfield star.
Then replaced Guardiola with Cocu.
Guardiola turned black at that time.
He had a highlight moment in this game, but replacing him after he was intercepted and lost the ball by Deng Kai somewhat meant that he was taking the blame.
Guardiola simply couldn't imagine what bitter and vicious words Deng Kai would send him after the game.
In the 74th minute, Rivaldo dribbled the ball past Deschamps, who was not physically fit, and passed the ball over the top to Overmars.
Overmars made a cross pass, which was full of threats.
But in this game, Fonte, who had stretched his hips, showed a tough move. He fell to the ground first, destroyed the football, and kicked the football outside the penalty area.
But the football was too fast, and Fonte used unconventional movements to clear the ball. This kick felt like a kick.
The football fell directly to Simang's feet.
After Simang's habitual fake move of pulling the ball, he observed the position of other teammates and made a back pass in an inverted triangle.
boom!
Xavi, who had played for ten minutes, came in from the back and fired a long shot.
"GOAL! Barcelona! It has to be Barcelona!"
"Young Xavi scored a very crucial goal for Barcelona! He has lived up to the trust of the coach and the fans!"
"In fact, I think Xavi is better than Gerard Lopez in terms of organization and talent, and he should be the starting midfielder."
"Xavi's status in the hearts of Spanish people is just like the status of Deng Kai and Viana in the hearts of Portuguese people. He is considered to have the opportunity to become a top midfielder in world football!"
"As for Gerrard, if he wants to continue to get the chance to start in Barcelona, he should take the initiative to transition to the defensive midfielder position and take over from Guardiola. Gerrard has this ability, and his physical fitness, coverage, and speed are far stronger than Guardiola He is slightly weaker than Guardiola in terms of organization and passing, but he is definitely sufficient in the defensive midfielder position."
"Guardiola's overflowing abilities will not increase his performance in the defensive midfielder position. He is old and it is time for him to retreat to the second line."
"Three to two! Barcelona seems to be the winner of today's game. In this way, Sporting Lisbon will be more difficult in the next round."
"This also basically indicates that the team that will reach the UEFA Cup final this year will be Barcelona!"
After this goal, Barcelona used up its last substitution.
Luis Enrique replaces Simao.
Barcelona fans gave Simao warm applause. His performance today was quite outstanding.
If he had been performing like he is today, Barcelona fans would have been conquered by him long ago, and he would not be in a position crisis and be rated as one of the five most failed transactions in Barcelona in the past three years.
Replacing Enrique is not because Enrique is better than Simao, but because Enrique, who has been transforming from a forward to a center, can contribute more on the defensive end.
Although it is difficult for him to score again, he can make it difficult for Sporting Lisbon's midfielder to play the ball.
Barcelona is about to score 3 to 2, and they do not plan to invest more energy in the offensive end.
Sporting Lisbon also took the opportunity to complete substitutions.
Pepe replaced Deschamps, who could no longer run.
Ibrahimovic replaced Drogba.
This substitution was not understood by everyone, because everyone thought that Drogba should play with Ibrahimovic. After all, Barcelona's defense line is so high and a bug like Sporting Lisbon is not used. It is simply outrageous.
In the next game, Barcelona controlled the ball for a long time and took the ball control to a new level.
Seeing the game time passing by, Sporting Lisbon's players became a little anxious.
In the 85th minute, Deng Kai moved the ball in a wide range on the right to find Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo stopped the ball and moved the ball in one go. After passing by Reiziger, he was pulled down by Reiziger.
The referee showed Reiziger a yellow card.
Barcelona's defensive pressure came up at that time.
Ronaldo's position is quite good and he can hit it directly. It is a mid-range free kick.
Quaresma was in good condition and took the initiative to signal that he would come over and take the penalty.
boom!
Dang!
The Sporting Lisbon fans at the scene all held their heads in disbelief.
beam!
The home crossbar actually helped an outsider.
What the hell!
"Oh! Quaresma's free kick was of high quality and went around the wall, but unfortunately it hit the crossbar."
"Time is running out and Sporting Lisbon is going to lose."
"Their tasks will be even heavier in the next game."
But Ronaldo's breakthrough and Quaresma's free kick were still useful.
The Barcelona players were far less calm than before when they dropped the ball next time.
In the 88th minute, Pepe contributed a high-level interception.
Rivaldo, who treated him like Deschamps, was careless.
Pepe finds Viana.
Viana knocked the ball with his heel to Deng Kai and started to advance himself.
Deng Kai hit the wall and got to Viana.
Viana adjusted his dribbling in two steps and then made a direct pass into the penalty area.
Ibrahimovic rushed into the penalty area.
Abelardo and De Boer flanked Ibrahimovic.
Ibrahimovic is strong and came on as a substitute, and his speed is not as slow as everyone imagined.
Surprisingly took the lead in a double team.
Just as he was about to touch the ball, DeBoer stretched his foot from behind and hooked Ibrahimovic's instep.
