The fifteen-minute intermission went by in a blink of an eye.
Players from both sides return to the court, change sides and fight again.
At the beginning of the second half, the Chelsea team showed a strong desire to attack.
It seems that the Chelsea team is not willing to lose its first Champions League group match this season.
The young player Mount's performance was the most eye-catching. One person relied on his personal skills to disrupt Barcelona's defense.
In five minutes, Busquets got two fouls on him. Moreover, after the second foul, the referee also showed Busquets a topaz War God card as a reward.
This is bad news. The main defensive midfielder has already received the reward of the topaz War God card. In the following games, Barcelona's defense will definitely have problems.
The head coach Koeman on the sidelines also frowned, but he still believed in Busquets's adjustment ability, and he saw that De Jong had chosen to switch positions with Busquets. This should be a temporary response for the players on the field to protect Busquets.
Nowadays, Busquets plays an indispensable role in Barcelona. Although De Jong can also perform very well in this position, Busquets, who has played for Barcelona for 13 years, far surpasses De Jong in terms of overall view and game experience.
Due to Busquets's foul, team Chelsea was given a very good free kick opportunity.
About thirty-five meters away from the goal, directly facing the goal, a free kick at this position is a very big test for the goalkeeper.
Ter Stegen did not dare to neglect and arranged for his own players to set up a human wall.
Li Mingyu is 1.85 meters tall. Generally speaking, when there is a human wall, he will be placed in it.
This time was no exception. Li Mingyu stood on the edge of the near post, with his back to the football and facing the goalkeeper.
Ter Stegen kept shouting loudly, asking Li Mingyu to adjust his position. Finally, in Ter Stegen's eyes, the football was completely blocked, and then Li Mingyu stopped moving.
Li Mingyu then turned around, protecting his key parts with his hands, and stared at the football in front of him.
The Chelsea player standing behind the football is the Mount who took the free kick.
Mount's free kick skills are very good. He is also the second England player to score a direct free kick for Chelsea after Lampard.
Mount stood in front of the football, constantly looking at the holes in Barcelona's wall and Ter Stegen's position.
Hearing the referee's whistle, Mount took a breath and started running.
Mount's free throw wasn't too long, it took three or four steps, and then he kicked the football hard with the inside instep of his right foot.
The football drew a beautiful arc in the air, crossed the Barcelona wall, and fell quickly toward the goal.
Mount's free kick was of very high quality. After flying over the head of Barcelona's wall, it dropped rapidly.
Ter Stegen originally thought that Mount's direct free kick would hit his far post, so he stood relatively outside. When he saw the football flying over the wall, he couldn't help but move towards the near post.
Ter Stegen made an extreme swoop, and he felt that his fingertips seemed to have touched the football. He was overjoyed and turned his head to look at the football, regardless of whether he was still in the air.
What gave him a chill was that although he had touched the football, the power of the football was too great, and its trajectory was not changed too much by his fingertips, and it went straight into the door behind him.
Ter Stegen fell to the ground together with the football. The difference is that he was outside the goal line and the football was inside the goal line.
So close is the end of the world.
Camp Nou was suddenly as silent as a cemetery, but the players of Chelsea didn't care about you. Together with Mount, they celebrated crazily in front of the Barcelona players and fans.
2:2, just five minutes into the second half, Chelsea equalized the score.
The goal was scored directly from a free kick, which was so unexpected.
The head coaches of both sides on the sidelines also felt sad and happy.
Tuchel's passionate celebration was in sharp contrast to Koeman, who was holding his forehead with his hand. This is such a reincarnation.
Returning to the center circle for the kickoff, Messi kicked the football back, gathered his energy, and ran towards Chelsea's frontcourt.
After Li Mingyu received the ball, he did not rush to pass the ball, but observed the changes in Chelsea's lineup.
Due to the crazy celebration just now, the Chelsea players were a little excited. The most excited one was Chelsea's goalkeeper, the 1.98-meter Mendy.
After Barcelona kicked off the ball, Mendy was still standing near the penalty area line and did not return to his small penalty area.
Li Mingyu has very good eyesight. When he saw Mendy standing forward, he was so blessed that he gently sent the ball forward with his right foot, then quickly swung his right leg and kicked the lower part of the football hard.
The football was kicked high by Li Mingyu and flew towards Chelsea's goal at a very fast speed.
"A mistake?"
This is what most people think.
Because at this time, Griezmann and Messi had just arrived at the 40-meter area of Chelsea's half, and Li Mingyu's kick should have landed within the penalty area of Chelsea.
Chelsea's goalkeeper Mendy had no defense at all against Li Mingyu's kick.
When he realized something was wrong, the ball had already flown past his last defender and was less than ten meters away from his goal.
Mendy looked at the landing point of the football and immediately judged that this height was beyond his reach, so he turned around crazily and ran towards the goal.
However, how can a person be faster than the speed of a ball?
Mendy is 1.98 meters tall, and turning around is always a weakness of him. Especially at this time, when he was eager to turn around, he stumbled a bit when he turned around.
Before Mendy could reach the small penalty area line, the football fell from the sky and appeared in his field of vision. Like a falling meteor, it hit the goal line hard and then bounced into the net.
Mendy's legs softened and he knelt directly on the ground.
This ball directly stunned Mendy.
Even the fans at the scene were stunned for about two seconds. The whole Camp Nou was like a volcano erupting, and it suddenly exploded.
What a great goal!
This was a shot that spanned half the court. Li Mingyu stood outside the center circle, received Messi's kick, and then took a step forward. At the edge of the center circle, he kicked a long-distance lob about 60 meters away, and it was successful.
Even Li Mingyu didn't expect that his lob was really successful. It was originally an attempt to hit the opponent before he was able to gain a foothold, but he didn't expect that he missed it.
Less than 1 minute after Chelsea equalized the score, Li Mingyu took the lead again with a lob after the kick-off.
This goal was a devastating blow to Chelsea.
This feeling of going from heaven to hell is like riding a roller coaster. One minute, everyone was high-spirited, but a minute later, a basin of cold water was poured on their heads, giving them a chill, but their hearts could not fly.
Mount looked at Li Mingyu who was surrounded by Barcelona players, and couldn't help but feel a hint of bitterness in his mouth.
He had just scored a wonderful free kick for the team. Who knew that before he was happy for a minute, the opponent used an even more wonderful half-court lob to break his own goal again.
Could it be that we really cannot defeat our opponents?
This thought didn't just appear in Mount's mind.
They equalized the score twice, and both times Li Mingyu quickly scored another goal to regain the lead.
This gave the Chelsea players a sense of frustration that they were always chasing but could never catch up with the opponent.
Li Mingyu's goal boosted the morale of FC Barcelona fans, and Chelsea's two equalizers also put huge pressure on FC Barcelona.
This is just like running. There is always a pursuer following closely behind you. No matter what, you can't get rid of the opponent, and the opponent will keep pace with you from time to time, which puts a huge psychological pressure on you. Maybe at some point, if you are not careful, the opponent will rush past you and leave you behind.
However, Li Mingyu's goal made the Barcelona players put aside their uneasiness.
In the first Champions League game he participated in, he scored a hat trick. After Haaland, he was the second player to score a hat trick in Champions League's debut.
After Li Mingyu enjoyed the quality of FC Barcelona friends for three consecutive times, he tidied his hair and roared excitedly.
The head coaches of both sides on the sidelines also experienced a drama of joy and sorrow.
Tuchel, who was overjoyed just a minute ago, looked at the situation on the court with a horrified expression. This goal made him start to doubt his own outlook.
Koeman, who was furious just a minute ago, is holding his head with both hands, looking at Li Mingyu with a look of surprise on his face, this is really a treasure given to Barcelona by God!
The expressions of the head coaches of both teams also became a topic of ridicule after the game.
So true!
After kicking off again, the players of Chelsea were somewhat affected by Li Mingyu's divine lob just now. They were a little confused and made many passing errors.
Barcelona also completely took back the initiative in the game.
Among the Chelsea team, it seems that only the young player Mount was not affected in any way. He was running desperately on the field, trying to steal the football from Barcelona's feet.
However, there are some things that will not result in good results if you work hard.
Mount's hard fight failed to wake up the other Chelsea players. Instead, Mount wasted a lot of energy.
Around the 75th minute, young player Mount actually suffered from cramps.
For Mount, this is simply incredible.
Although Mount is not an iron man in the Chelsea team, it is common for him to play 90 minutes of games, and he has never had cramps.
But it has only been 75 minutes, and this symptom has already appeared, indicating that Mount has been overloaded.
This is actually the great thing about Barcelona.
In the past, Barcelona was able to defeat the opponent just by relying on passing control.
Maybe the opponent's players didn't touch the football a few times in a game, but they were already exhausted by the time the game was about to end.
Many times, Barcelona relies on its strong passing and control ability to make the opponent surrender without a fight.
Mount still wanted to continue playing, but the team doctor had already seen that he was at the end of his strength, so he reminded Tuchel that a substitution was necessary, otherwise, Mount might be injured.
Tuchel had no choice but to replace his general and replaced Pulisic.
A passive matchup substitution greatly affected Chelsea's offense.
Barcelona has now mastered the rhythm of the game, and Chelsea can only play according to the rhythm of Barcelona, which is very uncomfortable.
Pulisic, who just came on the field, also actively participated in the defense, which had some impact on Barcelona's offense.
However, here is Camp Nou. Here, Li Mingyu's game status has always been at full value. The players of Chelsea are constantly exhausted with their constant running and pulling and passing.
In the 80th minute, Li Mingyu finally found a hole in Chelsea's defense during the pull in the middle. After a one-two against the wall with Messi, Messi passed the ball through and Li Mingyu faced Chelsea's goalkeeper alone.
Li Mingyu was not polite, and directly used his signature moves. Pendulum Dribble was so extraordinary that Mendy was confused and thrown in the wrong direction, and it was done in one fell swoop.
4:2, this goal basically sealed the victory of this game.
Many players of the Chelsea team, after seeing this goal, sat on the ground with frustrated faces and gasped.
It's really tiring to play against Barcelona.
The terrifying Li Mingyu had four big hits in his first Champions League game, making him the first player in the history of Champions League to complete four big hits in his first game.
At the same time, Li Mingyu is also the youngest player in the history of Champions League to have four majors, at 19 years and 239 days old.
This goal also made the Barcelona players finally let go of the big stone in their hearts.
After this goal, Koeman also began to mobilize his troops. Li Mingyu was replaced and replaced by defender Araujo. Koeman was trying to defend the game at the last moment.
Replacing Li Mingyu is also to protect him. Li Mingyu, who participated in the Champions League game for the first time, completed the feat of four majors. It can be said that his name resounded throughout the world of football.
When Li Mingyu saw the substitution sign, he slowly walked towards the sidelines. All the fans stood up and gave a warm applause to express their respect for the new favorite Camp Nou.
Neither Chelsea's players nor the referee urged Li Mingyu, because this was the honor he deserved.
At this moment, Li Mingyu once again honors Camp Nou.
