After Paris Saint-Germain was removed from the list, I led England to victory!

Matchdays for the Champions League quarter-finals.

Today, the atmosphere at Camp Nou is no less intense than during El Clásico.

The shouts of the red and blue Barcelona fans weighed heavily on the heads of every Arsenal player, especially Yan Yuan, who was wearing the yellow number 7 away jersey.

Before the game, as the lights in the player tunnel came on and Yan Yuan stepped onto the field, a deafening chorus of boos and insults filled his ears.

"Go back to London!!!"

"You'll never get the Champions League!!!"

"Yan, you are not worthy to be Messi's challenger!!!"

"You Brits, you'd better get your knees kicked by Messi's dribbling skills soon!"

Although Yan Yuan is still far from being a football king, he has already enjoyed "football king treatment".

In the stands, a giant TIFO was set up, featuring a portrait of Messi looking down on the world, with eye-catching bilingual slogans in Catalan and English on the side.

"Challenger? Kneel down!"

More vicious slogans, targeting Yan Yuan personally and the entire Arsenal team, were shouted out in unison.

"Arsenal will never win the title!!"

"Yan only deserves to grovel at Messi's feet!!"

The atmosphere we have today is actually "thanks" to the hype created by the European media before the match.

Even before the match began, European media had already painted a picture of an intense and fierce atmosphere between the two teams.

That's why the scene is so lively today.

"Viewers at home, listen to this! The atmosphere at Camp Nou today is like a volcano about to erupt! It's almost as intense as the match against Real Madrid!" The Spanish commentator's voice rose amidst the clamor.

"The focus of this match is undoubtedly the young Yan Yuan and Barcelona's king Messi!"

The pre-match media hype surrounding the game, coupled with Barcelona fans viewing him as a "blasphemer" of Messi's status, made the match highly contentious from the very beginning!

We see Rodri, Spain's new international, with his arm around Yan Yuan's shoulder, talking to him, clearly trying to comfort his young teammate.

The camera captured Rodri's concerned face.

The chants from Barcelona fans were truly offensive.

This was too much for Rodri, a Spaniard, to bear, and he whispered something in Yan Yuan's ear.

"Yan, don't listen to those idiots! They did that all the time when I played for Villarreal; it's one of their usual distraction tactics! Just focus on the game!"

Yan Yuan turned his head, his face showing no sign of anger, but rather an almost cold calm. He patted Rhodes' arm and said.

"Don't worry, Rhodes, I know what to do. The louder they shout, the harder I kick."

Yan Yuan's gaze swept over the bustling stands, his eyes sharp, before turning to the green field.

The referee blew his whistle, and the match began.

To everyone's surprise, it was not the home team Barcelona that lit the fuse first, but the away team Arsenal.

They were like tigers unleashed from their cages, launching a suffocating high-pressing attack from the very first second.

Yan Yuan, Lacazette, and Aubameyang, like three yellow lightning bolts, darted straight into the receiving point of Barcelona's defense.

Yan Yuan was equally active on the right flank. He didn't just charge forward blindly, but moved flexibly within the pressing chain.

Busquets just received a pass from Ter Stegen in the backfield.

Yan Yuan then approached at high speed from the side.

He forced the Barcelona midfield maestro to make a hasty back pass, which was almost intercepted by the astute Aubameyang!

"Arsenal took control from the start! Their pressing intensity was absolutely off the charts!" the commentator exclaimed. "Wenger's team came prepared today! They didn't give Barcelona any chance to organize their attack! Busquets looked a bit overwhelmed against Yan Yuan; the two had faced each other before in the UEFA Nations League!"

Arsenal's formation pushed forward as a whole, with their defensive line almost touching the center circle.

This highly aggressive style of play completely disrupted the passing and possession rhythm that Barcelona relied on for survival.

The ball became sluggish and hesitant when being passed around in Barcelona's backfield.

Arsenal's right flank became their most potent attacking initiation point.

In the 7th minute, Ramsey made a clean interception in midfield, breaking Rakitic's cross and quickly passing the ball to Ashraf, who was making a high-speed run down the right flank.

The Moroccan winger dribbled like the wind, instantly sweeping across the center line.

Barcelona left-back Alba retreated while fighting, trying to block his path down the wing.

However, Ashraf did not simply launch a relentless attack.

As he approached the edge of the penalty area, he skillfully passed the ball back to Yan Yuan, who was receiving it in the flank!

Yan Yuan received the ball with his back to goal, and Lenglet immediately closed in on him.

Yan Yuan deftly flicked the ball, then turned his body to the right, executing a beautiful turn that brushed past Lenglet.

Seeing this, Pique hurriedly covered, but Yan Yuan didn't hesitate at all. Before Pique could block him, he accurately pushed the ball with the instep of his foot to Odegaard at the edge of the penalty area.

The Norwegian prodigy understood perfectly. Without making any adjustments, he directly flicked the ball back onto Yan Yuan's running path with the outside of his foot!

A wall-bumping combo!

"Yan Yuan! Beautiful turn! His teamwork with Odegaard is flawless!" The commentator's voice suddenly rose.

Yan Yuan caught up with the ball on the right edge of the penalty area, facing Ter Stegen who rushed out to block the angle and Alba who was chasing back.

He adjusted his position, tilted his body slightly, and curled a tricky ball with his left foot!

The ball, spinning intensely, hurtled straight towards the far corner of the goal!

"Shot!!!!" the commentator drawled out.

Camp Nou held its breath for a moment.

The ball grazed the outside of the far post and slammed into the side netting!

"Whoa!!!"

Sounds erupted instantly at Camp Nou – the alarmed cries of Barcelona fans and the disappointed sighs of Arsenal supporters.

"God! That was just a hair's breadth away! What a pity! But Yan Yuan's shot was of extremely high quality! Arsenal are making a strong statement! This is the first powerful response to the deafening boos at Camp Nou!" the commentator lamented.

Yan Yuan watched the ball glide past the post, shook his head slightly, and then turned around and quickly returned to defense.

After a brief silence in the stands...

There was an even louder chorus of boos and insults.

In the 18th minute, Barcelona attempted to penetrate down the left flank to create opportunities, but the combination between Messi and Alba was disrupted by Achraf and Yan Yuan, who had tracked back in time.

Possession changes hands, Arsenal quickly play the ball out from their own half.

Rodri received the ball near the center circle. He looked up and surveyed the area with the open vision of an eagle.

He saw the open space on the right flank, and Ashraf's figure moving like an arrow released from a bow!

Rodri immediately delivered a precise long-range pass with the outside of his foot.

The ball drew a beautiful arc, soaring over the heads of the Barcelona midfielders and heading straight for the right flank byline!

"Rodri! Beautiful pass! Find Ashraf on the right wing!" the commentator shouted.

Achraf sprinted desperately, chasing after the ball at lightning speed!

Alba also tried desperately to catch up, but Ashraf took the lead by half a body length thanks to his superior start!

The ball is about to roll out of bounds.

"Is this ball going out of bounds?" the commentator asked, puzzled.

At the critical moment, Ashraf made an inexplicable move.

As he sprinted at high speed, just as the ball was about to cross the baseline, he did not choose to force a cross.

Instead, lean forward and stand firmly on your supporting foot.

Then, he lifted his right foot back and gently tapped the ball with his heel!

"A backheel?! Ashraf! He chose a backheel pass!!" The Spanish commentator's voice was filled with disbelief and amazement.

This was an imaginative pass.

The pass didn't fly into the air; instead, it skimmed along the grass, drawing a strange, reverse diagonal line.

He slipped between Alba and Lenglet, caught off guard, and rolled precisely into the heart of the penalty area!

"Look at this ball!!!" The commentator almost cracked his voice.

The moment Ashraf made his move, Yan Yuan had already initiated the attack.

As if telepathically connected with Ashraf, he darted in from outside the penalty area like a ghost when everyone was drawn to Ashraf's movements.

His timing of the start and his running route perfectly matched the trajectory of the ball.

"Yan Yuan!! He's inserted it!!" the commentator roared.

Yan Yuan stood on the edge of the six-yard box, facing the rolling ball.

Without any adjustment, he met the ball with the instep of his left foot and shot at an extremely tricky angle, heading straight for the near corner of the goal!

The heart of Camp Nou almost stopped beating at that moment.

Ter Stegen reacted quickly, but it was too late; the ball was about to roll into the net!

A tall figure in red and blue suddenly flew out sideways!

Lenglet, standing at 186cm! He risked his entire body, making a desperate sliding tackle to block the shot!

"Lenglet has done it!!!!" The Spanish commentator's voice trembled with excitement.

Bang! A muffled thud!
