Chapter 166: The Crowded Camp Nou [Second Update]

Barcelona lost 1-4 away to Monaco.

This immediately became big news throughout Europe.

The French media are cheering, believing that Monaco's entry into the Champions League final is a foregone conclusion.

And in Spain.

There are different opinions.

The Catalan media believes that it is not impossible for Barcelona to win 3-0 at home.

Madrid-area media believe that Monaco's entry into the final is more beneficial to Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid.
In such a debate.

The results of another set of matches in the Champions League semi-finals have also come out.

Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid 2-1 at home.

Ronaldo scored twice, scoring his twelfth goal in the Champions League this season.

Of course.

This is still a huge gap compared to Sunshine's 22 goals.

And this result is compared to the 4-1 score in the match between Monaco and Barcelona.

It also leaves enough suspense for the second round.

Real Madrid narrowly defeated their opponent.

Atletico Madrid got the away goal.

The second leg will be held at the Calderón Stadium.

It remains to be seen who will advance to the finals.

Just when all the media and fans were discussing the Champions League.

Monaco players must shift their focus to the league.

The 35th round of the league.

Monaco will go away to challenge Nancy.

This round of the league has reached the match point of the French Ligue 1.

If Monaco can win away from home.

But if Paris Saint-Germain doesn't win in this round of the league.

Then Monaco's lead will be extended to 11 or 12 points.

With only three rounds left in the league.

Monaco will successfully defend the Ligue 1 title three rounds ahead of schedule.

Especially this round of the league.

Monaco's match was played simultaneously with Paris Saint-Germain's home game against Bordeaux.

This adds to the excitement of the game.

The 35th round of the league is coming soon.

The top two teams in the standings start their matches at the same time.

Although there is little hope.

But Paris fans are still paying close attention to Monaco's game.

Maybe Monaco really suffered three consecutive defeats because they were distracted by the Champions League?
With this somewhat unrealistic fantasy.

At the beginning of the game, Paris Saint-Germain players were a little out of shape.

Less than three minutes into the show.

They lost the ball.
Bordeaux scored the first goal.

On the Monaco match field.

Jardim received the good news not long after he sat down in the coaching seat.

"What? They lost the ball? So quickly?!"

Thinking of the opportunity to lock the championship three rounds in advance, Jardim himself was a little restless.

In the stands.

The Monaco fans who came to the away game cheered loudly.

This gave Monaco players full motivation.

Because they can guess it too.

Maybe something went wrong at Paris Saint-Germain.

"Paris Saint-Germain lost the ball! Oh wow, now things are getting interesting! If Paris really lost points, Monaco would have a chance to lift the league championship trophy right now!"

The commentators in the commentary booth also realized that the league had reached a critical point.

Monaco did not field all their main players in this game.

Instead, a partial rotation was carried out.

For example, Mbappé and B Silva sat on the bench.

They were replaced by Hojbjerg and Falcao.

Falcao returned in time for the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.

This gives Monaco a good back-up card for the game at Camp Nou.

Falcao and Sunshine partner up on the front line.

The team was more or less affected by the Champions League semi-final in this game.

I've been slow to get into the mood.

But fortunately, the power of sunshine is here.

The 38th minute of the game.

He grabbed a cross from the wing and scored, helping Monaco open the scoring.

"Sunshine! The 12th goal in the league this season! Monaco has taken the lead. In the real-time standings, Monaco is points ahead of Paris Saint-Germain! If the game ends with the current score, Monaco will be able to lift the league championship trophy after the game!"

CCTV also arranged to broadcast the game live.

As Yangguang's fame grows.

During the sunny game.

Even the focus battles in the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga.

It is also difficult to compete with Monaco's game for attention.

It has become a habit for many Chinese football fans to sit in front of the TV every week and watch Sunshine score goals.

Parc des Princes.

The fans frowned.

Although the probability of Paris Saint-Germain winning the championship is very low.

But there is still a theoretical possibility of winning the championship.

When it really came time to hammer the final nail into the coffin, Paris Saint-Germain fans were not in a good mood.

In the commentary box.

The commentator from Paris TV sighed.

"Monaco just scored. Although Paris Saint-Germain's chances of winning the championship this season are slim, I think they should at least delay Monaco's title as much as possible. This is related to the team's dignity."

Paris Saint-Germain, which has invested hundreds of millions of euros and has a total team value of nearly 800 million euros, unexpectedly encountered a season in which it failed to win any of the four major titles in the competitive environment of Ligue 1.
This is a disaster.

But then again
Judging from Monaco's performance this season.

It is hard to say how many players will remain in their current starting lineup next season.

Next season's Ligue 1 will still be dominated by Paris Saint-Germain.

Paris remains the dominant power.

The only problem is
The purpose of the Qatari consortium's investment in Paris Saint-Germain is not just to dominate the small fish pond of Ligue 1.

Before the end of the first half.

Paris Saint-Germain equalized the score.

Monaco entered the halftime break with a 2-0 lead.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

The sixty-fifth minute of the game.

Jardim started making substitutions.

He replaced Sunshine with Cheryshev.

At the same time, Moutinho was also replaced.

This is preparation for the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.

Although he had a big advantage in the first round, Yalding did not dare to be complacent.

Their opponent is Barcelona.

This team has just completed a stunning comeback this season.

Therefore, even with a four-to-one advantage, Jardim did not dare to relax at all in the second round.

Falcao worked very hard in this game - he was fighting for a place in the semi-finals, even the Champions League final, or even in the starting lineup.

He scored a goal in the first half of the game.

In the 73rd minute of the second half, Falcao scored again, changing the score to 3-0.

Five minutes later.

It's still Falcao.

After receiving the ball in the penalty area, he changed his rhythm and cut into the inside to shoot.

Four to zero!
Falcao scored a hat trick.

"The suspense of the game is over! For Monaco fans, they don't need to pay attention to this game. They may have already switched to watch the game in Paris. For Monaco fans, the current score of Paris Saint-Germain's game is the best news. They drew 1-1 with Bordeaux at home."

Not to mention Monaco fans.

Even the players on Monaco's bench gathered together to watch Paris' game on their mobile phones.

The camera also gave a special shot to Monaco's bench.

Everyone huddled together, watching a small cell phone.

The game time passes minute by minute.

Just as Monaco fans were getting more and more excited.

The 89th minute of the game.

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Pastore's long-range shot helped Paris Saint-Germain kill the opponent.

This long shot also delayed the time for Monaco fans to win the trophy to a week later - a week later, in the 36th round of the league, Monaco will face Lille at home.

If Monaco can win.

They will win the championship trophy two rounds ahead of schedule.

Even now.

Monaco is also very close to the league championship.

After thirty-fifth round of the league.

Monaco is nine points ahead of Paris Saint-Germain.

The goal difference is 13 points ahead of Paris.

This advantage is quite large.

It’s just that the final “conclusion” is missing.

Paris Saint-Germain finally completed the last-minute goal and struggled a little longer in the league standings.

The Monaco players were very disappointed.

But they also know that the league championship is already in their pocket.

Just one more point and the league title will be theirs!

And now.

They have to fully prepare for the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals!

The day after the 35th round of the league ended.

Monaco will fly to Barcelona to prepare for the second round of the match.

Whether it's the French media or the Spanish media.

No one would think that this is just a formality.

No one dares to underestimate Barcelona.

Especially Barcelona, who seem to have no way out.

Before the game.

The Catalan media has begun a general mobilization.

Their reports were full of murderous intent.

Words like "hell", "decisive battle" and "unity" appear frequently.

[Mundo Deportivo]: Barcelona has nowhere to retreat! This will be the decisive battle for Barcelona!

[Daily Sports]: Unite! Make Camp Nou a hell for your opponents!

In short, it is a mad call for Barcelona fans to flock to the Nou Camp, cheer for Barcelona, and create a home atmosphere that will make the opponents feel weak.

at this moment.

Barcelona needs every point that can bring victory.

In addition to calling on fans for support.

The Catalan media have been using Barcelona's comeback victory over Paris as an example to encourage Barcelona players these days.

"If we can reverse it once, we can reverse it twice."

".From 0-4 to 1-4, that away goal is precious for Barcelona!"

".Camp Nou will be a place of miracles!"

With the efforts of local media.

The Nou Camp was indeed quite lively before the game.

Camp Nou is the second largest professional football stadium in the world.

The designed capacity is 99354 people.

A small hundred thousand is enough.

Although Barcelona is a world-class club.

But La Liga in general.

The Nou Camp is always sold out.

Take last season’s La Liga as an example.

In La Liga last season, the average number of spectators per game at Camp Nou was 78464.

It only occupies about 79% of the designed capacity of Camp Nou.

Therefore, in some less popular games, the empty seats in the stands are still quite obvious.

But this game is different.

The day before the game, local media reported that tickets for Camp Nou were already hard to come by.

At the entrance of Camp Nou, many people were holding signs asking for tickets.

The scalpers in the Barcelona area have made a fortune this time.

And that also means.

There will be nearly 100,000 fans attending the Camp Nou stadium, which is very likely to set a record for the highest number of spectators at the Camp Nou this season!

Monaco players felt this when they went out to warm up.

Every stand at the Camp Nou was packed, with 100,000 fans in the stands. The scale alone was enough to shock people.

What's more, each of them let out a crazy roar.

As soon as he walked out of the stadium.

You can feel your chest vibrating with the sound.
The Catalan media is right about one thing.

In this game.

The Camp Nou stadium is like hell for the visiting team.

In the locker room.

Jardim told his players to stay calm and not get carried away.

"They will definitely attack with all their might. Any team that unleashes all their energy will be formidable, let alone Barcelona."

"We must be mentally prepared to face difficulties. Even if we lose the ball, we must not be anxious or panic. We must stay calm!"

The Monaco players nodded one after another.

They knew it from the crazy atmosphere at Camp Nou.

This is by no means a formality.

When players from both teams walked onto the field to the sound of the Champions League theme song.

In the huge stands.

Barcelona fans held up red and blue pieces of paper, forming a spectacular red and blue pattern that covered the entire stands.

The momentum is very impressive.

This is enough to illustrate Barcelona's determination in this game.

When players from both sides walked out of the tunnel.

There were even a large number of Barcelona fans lying on the railings on both sides of the tunnel, roaring at the Monaco players.

"Are you scared? Monegasques!!"

"This is Camp Nou, your hell!"

"Pack up and go home!"

The shouting of these people was so loud that it was difficult to hear what they were saying.

Barcelona's president Bartomeu stood at the entrance of the tunnel, high-fived and hugged every Barcelona player who started the game.

at the same time.

There were a large number of celebrities in the stands of Camp Nou.

Towering stands, huge number of fans, and various high-standard treatments.

Barcelona creates that atmosphere.

It's nothing more than wanting to give Monaco a warning in these aspects.

Compared to the humble Stade Louis II in Monaco.

The grandeur of the Camp Nou stadium does create a sense of oppression.

When stepping onto the court.

The vibrating sound waves made Monaco players' heartbeats speed up.

All teams want a grand stadium – and in this environment, the visiting team does have to be under immense pressure.

The camera swept across the faces of Monaco players.

"Look at the faces of the Monegasques, they..."

The commentator on Catalan television wanted to say "they were terrified."

But he hadn't said it yet.

A close-up of the sun appeared on the TV screen.

Compared to his teammates who looked very serious.

The corners of Yangguang's mouth rose slightly.

He had a hint of a smile on his face.

I looked around at the stands.

This was his first time visiting this famous stadium.

When I was in the Real Madrid youth team.

Many teammates dream of playing for Real Madrid and Barcelona - appearing in the national derby is the dream of many young Spanish talents.

Yangguang thought of his good friends Odegaard and Ashraf in the youth team.

They are still struggling in Real Madrid's B team.

did not expect.

I actually set foot on this stadium earlier than them.

Thinking of this, Yangguang smiled.

Unexpectedly, a close-up of his smile appeared on the big screen at Camp Nou.

This was naturally seen as a provocation.

One hundred thousand people booed.

The sharp boos made people look towards the stands.

Watching the sunlight on the screen shaking its head and looking towards the stands.

The boos grew sharper.

"Is Sunshine provoking the fans at Camp Nou? He will pay the price!"

The commentator of Catalan TV said through gritted teeth.
