My uncle is Inzaghi.

Chapter 99 The focus that shouldn’t be there

Ramsey was indeed very surprised.

Because he can guarantee that he never touched Alves, and he had no motive for fouling in this position.

Facing the referee's penalty, it took about a second for him to react.

Ramsey waggled his finger and rushed to the referee.

"No, no, no! This can't be a foul! How can this be a foul? I didn't touch him at all!"

Ramsey stood in front of the referee with his head in his hands, looking puzzled and aggrieved.

Arsenal's players also reacted.

They swarmed up.

"Did you see clearly?"

"Falling! That guy is diving!!"

Li Mo, who was standing on the sideline next to the bench, was also shouting: "Shameful diving! That guy is cheating for a penalty kick!"

These words were just heard by Alves who got up from the ground and planned to sneak back to his own half.

"I flopped? What the hell did you say? You guys committed a foul!!"

Alves shouted loudly.

"Who doesn't know, you, you don't have too many flops? Do you need me to give examples of your flops one by one?"

Li Mo said angrily.

"Who are you talking about!"

Alves became a little angry and rushed over aggressively.

The Arsenal players on the bench were furious. Naturally, they couldn't let Li Mo suffer. For a moment, all the players on the Arsenal bench rushed over.

Not far away, the Barcelona bench was not to be outdone.

Busquets, who came up first, screamed, covered his face and fell to the ground as soon as he came into contact with Walcott, startling the Arsenal substitutes.

However, this did not affect the conflict between the two sides. Soon, the two sides became entangled.

On the pitch, the referee was also surrounded by Arsenal players.

Wenger on the sidelines had already approached the fourth official aggressively.

"Is this a penalty kick? Is this a penalty kick? A dive! Damn it! This is a dive!!! Your penalty will ruin this game!!!"

Wenger shouted angrily at the fourth official.

He certainly has reason to be angry.

The score of two to two is too favorable to Arsenal, but if Barcelona scores one now, although Arsenal still has two away goals, they will lose the game and will still be the laggard in terms of the total score.

If the game ends with a score of 3-2, Arsenal will have to find a way to win against Barcelona when they return to their home court.

Originally, it was only possible to advance with a high probability in an average game, but now it may be necessary to win at home to advance, so the difficulty is not ordinary!

The fourth official's face was expressionless. He blocked Wenger with his hand and communicated with the referee through the headset.

"You need to come over and deal with the situation here."

The fourth official communicates with the referee Brüsch through the headset.

Bruchy also has a headache now, and now the Arsenal players are chattering around him.

The Barcelona players also came to join in the fun. They hoped that the referee would show Ramsey a card.

"Red card! That guy destroyed our single sword!" someone shouted loudly.

"Single-handedly, you sister!" some players from Arsenal also replied angrily.

The conflict on the bench has not yet been resolved.

The players on the court got mixed up again.

There have been so many incidents at this point in the game, all caused by the penalty call. However, Bruchy did not intend to change the penalty. He forcefully asked the players on both sides to separate immediately, and firmly believed that this was A penalty kick.

"Penalty kick? Referee Bruchy awarded Barcelona a penalty kick?!"

"I have to say that Bruchy is quite bold. It's about to enter stoppage time. Giving Barcelona a penalty at this time is almost equivalent to giving Barcelona a victory!"

"Alves did fall in the penalty area, but was it really a penalty? Judging from what we just saw, it was indeed a bit forced."

Most of the commentators were a little confused by Bruchy's penalty.

Only the Catalan commentator praised Bruchy's bravery: "Bruchy is very responsible. He withstood the pressure and made the right decision!"

Just now.

The scene that just happened between the two sides in the penalty area began to appear on the TV screen.

Messi's timing of passing the ball is very precise.

The ball passes between the Arsenal defenders.

Ramsey wanted to stretch his foot to clear the ball while turning around, but at this moment, Alves rushed forward.

Ramsey quickly retracted his feet, then raised his hands, shrinking back like a cat.

And Alves came for Ramsey's outstretched foot - don't get me wrong, he didn't want to foul, but wanted to cause Ramsey to foul.

So he took one step forward, raised his hands, and started screaming before he fell to the ground.

But the funny thing is.

As Ramsey quickly retracted his foot, there was no contact at all.

Therefore, Alves could only complete the stage performance alone.

His exaggerated falling action looked even more comical in the slow motion captured by the high-definition camera.

"There is no contact at all!! This is an absolute misjudgment!!!"

Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray shouted angrily when he saw this scene.

"Misjudgment, this is a misjudgment!"

"Alves dived!!"

"Is Barcelona going to win this game with this diving?"

In the commentary box.

The commentators were shaking their heads.

Only the Catalan commentator, who was silent for a few seconds, gathered his thoughts: "No one knows whether there was contact, but Alves fell to the ground. This is a fact."

Ok.

He did fall to the ground.

And

The referee usually will not overturn his own decision after making a major penalty.

Because this is a serious challenge to one's own authority.

Even though Arsenal's players paid the price of three yellow cards for protesting.

But Messi still stood in front of the penalty spot.

At this time, the Catalunian commentator began to get excited: "Messi! Messi will take this penalty kick. Barcelona will beat Arsenal! This is certain."

"Messi runs!"

"Hit the door!!"

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!”

In the commentary box.

The Catalan commentator shouted like no one else was watching.

Next to him, the other commentators seemed a little indifferent after the goal was scored.

They just routinely said that Messi scored a goal.

But he wasn't very excited. "This was originally a very exciting game. Arsenal carefully deployed Barcelona's defensive weaknesses and scored two goals, while Barcelona also scored two goals with their strong offensive strength. Ball. If this game ends with a score of 2 to 2, then this game may even have a chance to be selected as the best match of the Champions League this season, but unfortunately, a misjudgment changed everything!"

Andy Gray said with a sigh.

He just finished speaking.

The camera focused on Bruchy who made this penalty.

Now all the focus is on the German referee.

"Messi scored his eleventh goal in the Champions League this season. After eliminating Arsenal, he can definitely catch up with and overtake Li Mo's goals. The single-season scoring record in the Champions League will also belong to Messi, he is the best in the world!! He is the undisputed best in the world!!!”

After leading the score again, the commentary box seemed to have become the home field of the commentator of Catalonia Sports TV.

His shouting was in sharp contrast to other commentators who seemed relatively quiet.

After Messi scored.

Arsenal's players tried to launch a counterattack.

But the game time is running out.

As soon as four minutes of injury time passed, referee Bruchy blew the whistle to end the game.

however.

Just after the final whistle sounded.

Almost all Arsenal players rushed to the referee Bruchy and asked for an explanation.

Wenger also rushed towards the referee angrily.

Bruchy was surrounded and the Camp Nou was booed - of course, the boos were directed at the Arsenal players.

Bruchy finally got out with a red card and a yellow card.

The red card was given to Arsenal's assistant coach Bould, who will not be able to enter the coaching bench in the next game.

The yellow card was given to Wenger.

Bruchy seemed to have some sense and was not crazy enough to send Wenger off too.

The players from both sides did not shake hands after the game, and the coaches of the two sides certainly did not shake hands.

After a Champions League game, they were entangled in Camp Nou for nearly ten minutes.

The scene was very chaotic.

Dragon Kingdom commentator Zhang Jun said helplessly: "Because of a very controversial penalty after the game, the Camp Nou stadium fell into chaos after the game, but no matter what, Arsenal was forced to start from Camp Nou returned in despair, but the good news is that they finally got two away goals, which was of great significance to the second round match between the two sides. Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, won a very controversial victory at their home court. .”

"It's so controversial, it's just plain dark!"

"Godfather, godfather!"

"Godfather loves me again!"

The fans of the Dragon Kingdom were not polite and directly vented their anger on the Internet.

However, their remarks will not affect UEFA.

Arsenal's remarks are different.

"Shameful! They took away a shameful victory! The penalty at the end should not have existed at all! We should have taken away a draw from Camp Nou!!"

Li Mo said angrily during the interview after the game.

Ramsey, who was called for a foul that resulted in a penalty kick for his opponent, still looked very frustrated and aggrieved when facing media reporters.

"I didn't touch him, I didn't touch him at all!" he kept repeating, shaking his head.

Normally, the biggest news after this game must be that Li Mo broke Messi's single-season scoring record.

But now, that was all overtaken by this penalty.

Journalists are also chasing Barcelona players to get their opinions.

Messi: I didn’t see exactly what happened.

Harvey: Was there any contact? Maybe, maybe not.

Iniesta: I didn’t see it, but I chose to believe the referee.

Busquets: The referee had his reasons.

Pique: I don't care about this. My respect for the referee is consistent. I just want to celebrate the victory now.

The client, Alves, insisted: He touched me and made contact, so I fell to the ground.

at the post-match press conference.

Wenger was still angry: "Such a penalty is too appalling. Alves's fall was so exaggerated. I don't understand. Oh, why did the respected referee think this was a penalty kick!"

He originally wanted to say "that son of a bitch", but Wenger remained mature and steady.

He knew that if he said that, he would probably have to direct the next round.

Barcelona's head coach Vilanova did not directly respond to reporters' questions about whether the penalty call was correct.

"I don't know. The scene was too chaotic. I chose to trust the referee's judgment. Mr. Bruchy is a very professional referee. He has refereed games in the Bundesliga, Champions League, Europa League, European Cup, and even the World Cup for many years. experience, I trust his experience and judgment.”

In short, it’s just one sentence.

I don't say this is a misjudgment.

All I say is trust the referee.

If you want to make trouble, don't make trouble with me and Barcelona, ​​go find trouble with Bruchy.

The poor German was sold by Barcelona in this way.

Afterwards, the media indeed swarmed against Bruchy, claiming that he ruined a wonderful game.

It is worth mentioning that.

After the game, outside Camp Nou.

Platini, who came to watch the game, was also targeted by media reporters.

Face the media with microphones and cameras.

Platini had a stylized smile on his face.

"I came to watch this game purely as a fan."

"Yes, I appreciate Barcelona's football style. Messi is an elf in the football world, and the football world should protect such an elf."

"It was a great game."

"Penalty kick? Maybe it was a misjudgment, maybe not. In short, the game is over. Referees are not robots. They sometimes make mistakes. This is normal."

"What? Do you think this penalty kick was a mistake?"

"I don't think so. Maybe the contact wasn't obvious, but that move (Ramsey's move) does make people lose their balance. It was a good game."

Platini's words made Arsenal supporters itch with hatred.

Okay.

The dignified president of UEFA actually said that he went to watch the game in a private capacity and was a fan of Barcelona, ​​and he made a major misjudgment in this game.

How could such a coincidence happen at the same time?

For a time, Arsenal fans denounced the injustice on the Internet.

Many fans from other Premier League teams also came to support.

Chelsea fans feel the same way. The Stamford Bridge tragedy that year was also uncovered during this period and became strong evidence for the conspiracy theory that "UEFA President dominated this game."

"The focus of this game should have been Li Mo breaking Messi's record."

Dragon Kingdom commentator Zhang Jun ended his commentary on the game.

He spoke very helplessly.
