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

The 15-minute halftime break was like two completely different worlds for both sides.

The Arsenal dressing room is filled with cautious optimism and intense focus.

Nagelsmann praised the team's performance in the first half, but repeatedly emphasized that the game was only halfway through and that they could not relax at any time when facing a team with Messi.

He especially reminded his players to pay attention to the opening stages of the second half, as Barcelona might launch a desperate attack. They must withstand the pressure and look for opportunities to deliver a fatal blow.

In the Barcelona locker room, the atmosphere was undoubtedly so heavy it was almost frozen.

Setién needs to awaken the players' dignity and adjust tactics. He might use a more direct approach to bypass Arsenal's high press, or he might bring on fresh players.

But more importantly, he needs to rekindle the players' almost broken spirit.

"Welcome back, viewers! The second half of the Champions League quarter-final between Arsenal and Barcelona is about to begin."

In the first half, Arsenal took a 2-0 lead thanks to Yan Yuan's clever tackle and Theo's world-class goal.

"Let's see what adjustments Setién will make at halftime, and whether Barcelona can create some waves in the second half?" The commentator's voice pulled the audience's thoughts back to the stadium.

Barcelona kicked off the second half.

Barcelona tried to increase the tempo from the start, pushing their formation higher up the pitch.

However, the desire to score goals often comes with risks.

Tragedy struck Barcelona again just three minutes into the second half.

In the 48th minute, a Barcelona attack was intercepted by Saliba, who then passed the ball to Rodri, who had dropped back to receive it.

Rodri surveyed the area ahead and, instead of opting for a conservative back pass, delivered a diagonal pass directly to Ødegaard in the center circle.

Odegaard was facing away from the direction of the attack, but he seemed to have eyes in the back of his head and sensed the presence coming from the left flank.

The moment Odegaard received the ball, Saka, the young English winger, started like a ghost, making a high-speed run through the gap between Barcelona's two center-backs, Pique and Lenglet.

Odegaard understood perfectly and, with almost no adjustment, delivered a surgically precise through ball with the outside of his right foot.

The ball flew perfectly through Barcelona's entire defense and landed in Saka's path as he made his forward run!

"Odegaard through ball! Saka! Offside trap! Success! One-on-one!" Zhan Jun exclaimed.

Saka's speed on the left wing was on full display at this moment.

Like a red lightning bolt, he instantly left Pique and Lenglet, who were a beat too slow to react, behind him, creating an absolute one-on-one opportunity.

Ter Stegen had no choice but to abandon his goal and attack.

Facing the onrushing goalkeeper, Saka remained unusually calm. He dribbled into the penalty area and, just as Ter Stegen was diving to block, deftly flicked his right foot, using a delicate chip shot to send the ball over the head of the desperate Ter Stegen!

The ball traced an elegant parabola in the air before gently falling into the empty net!

3-0!

"Goal again!!! Bukayo Saka! The second half has just begun! Arsenal score again! A textbook offside trap, a beautiful chip shot!"

"Odegaard's pass was absolutely perfect, and Saka's positioning and shot were so calm and collected that he doesn't look like a young player at all! Barcelona's defense has been breached! Completely breached!" The voices in the global commentary booth were filled with incredible excitement.

Yan Yuan loudly said "Well done!" to Saka.

"Hmm...it seems things aren't looking too good for Barcelona." Coach Zhang's tone carried a hint of regret.

"Today, it's strange, Barcelona's defense seemed to have no concentration and couldn't keep up with the speed. Saka's goal was a smart run and a smart shot."

0-3, in a single-elimination match against a team like Arsenal with a solid defense and sharp counter-attacks, the chances of a comeback are extremely slim.

Coach Zhang is right.

This goal was like a bucket of ice water, completely extinguishing the nascent flame of Barcelona's comeback.

The players' expressions changed from anxiety to numbness and despair.

Although the stands were empty, the sound of Barcelona fans' hearts breaking could be faintly heard.

Setién stood on the sidelines, hands in his pockets, eyes vacant; he may have already foreseen the outcome.

A collapse, once it starts, is very difficult to stop.

Just seven minutes later, Arsenal's knife fell again, this time from a set piece.

In the 55th minute, Arsenal won a corner kick on the right.

Odegaard stood in the corner area, but instead of launching a high ball, he made a tactical corner kick combination with Yan Yuan, who ran over to receive it.

Yan Yuan received the ball and attracted a defender, then passed it back to Odegaard.

In the brief moment when the Barcelona defenders' attention was diverted, Ødegaard adjusted his position and delivered a high-quality cross with his left foot, which spun towards the near post of the Barcelona penalty area!

As the ball flew through the air, Barcelona center-back Pique leaped to clear it, but he misjudged the trajectory and missed the header.

The ball flew over his head and headed towards the edge of the six-yard box!

Just then, a tall, red figure surged forward like a tank, overpowering the short Alba and completely dominating the air!

It's Declan Rice!

"Odegaard takes the corner kick... near post! Yan Yuan has attracted attention, Rice!!! Rice's header!!" Zhan Jun's voice reached another climax.

Rice had a noticeable hang time in the air, used his neck to slam the ball hard into the goal.

The ball blasted into the net like a cannonball. Ter Stegen was standing on the goal line, but he was helpless against such a close-range header!

4-0!

"Rice! Declan Rice! Arsenal are four goals ahead! It's a complete thrashing! A set piece goal, Rice outjumps Alba and smashes the ball into the net! Barcelona's aerial defense is so fragile against a tough player like Rice! The game is no longer in doubt!" The commentator's tone had changed from excitement to amazement.

Arsenal is a famous corner kick club.

If you dare to give Arsenal a corner kick, then you'd better wait and see.

After landing, Rice excitedly rushed to the corner flag and hugged Odegaard tightly, who had provided the assist.

Arsenal players celebrated wildly; the goal had practically killed any suspense in the game.

The Barcelona players were stunned. Pique stood with his hands on his hips, shaking his head helplessly, while Alba slumped on the ground, his eyes filled with frustration.

The 0-4 scoreline felt like a mountain, pressing down on them and making it hard for them to breathe.

In the subsequent match, Barcelona's fighting spirit seemed to have been completely destroyed.

Their passing became aimless, and their attacks appeared chaotic.

Messi tries to create opportunities through individual breakthroughs, but he often gets surrounded and can't carry the team alone.

Griezmann and Suarez were almost invisible under Arsenal's tight marking.

Xavi brought on young players like Ansu Fati and Puig in an attempt to inject some energy, but these adjustments proved ineffective against a high-spirited and disciplined Arsenal.

Arsenal, on the other hand, played with more ease. They controlled the pace of the game and were not in a hurry to attack, but their counter-attacking edge was always sharp.

In the 68th minute, Barcelona's attacking push created a wide-open space in their own half, which once again became Arsenal's stage.

Rodri intercepted the ball from Fati in the backfield and immediately passed it to Yan Yuan in the center circle.

Yan Yuan received the ball and turned around, only to find a huge gap left by Barcelona's aggressive forward press.

He was like an elegant conductor, beginning to dribble the ball forward.

His dribbling rhythm was unpredictable. He first used a light change of direction to get past Roberto who was pressing forward, and then faced Lenglet who was fighting and retreating, and De Jong who was chasing back.

Yan Yuan's vision was fully revealed at this moment.

He noticed the right flank, where Aubameyang had already sped off like a cheetah, cutting diagonally into the space behind Semedo.

Just as the two defenders were about to close in, Yan Yuan didn't try to score. Instead, he used the outside of his right foot to send a low through ball. The ball seemed to have a navigation system, accurately bypassing Lenglet and rolling towards Aubameyang's running path!

"Yan Yuan is dribbling forward! He's passing to the wing! To Aubameyang! This is a great option, a one-on-one opportunity!" Zhan Jun shouted.

Aubameyang fully utilized his speed advantage, shaking off all the defenders, and received this superb pass on the right side of the penalty area.

Facing Ter Stegen, who once again rushed out of his goal, this time he opted for a safer shot into the far corner!

The ball skimmed along the grass, moving quickly and at a sharp angle, and went straight into the bottom left corner of the goal!

5-0!

"Goal!!! Aubameyang! Effortlessly slots the ball home! 5-0! This was a classic Arsenal counter-attack, from winning the ball to scoring, it was fluid, simple, and efficient!"

Yan Yuan's assist was so selfless, and his vision was so broad! Barcelona's defensive system has completely collapsed and is practically useless! Arsenal has a young and great captain!!! The commentator couldn't find any more words to describe this massacre.

In the final stages of the match, the Barcelona players' will had been completely broken.

In the 82nd minute, a complete disaster brought Barcelona's nightmarish night to a shameful close.

A harmless back pass from Barcelona's own half rolled toward goalkeeper Ter Stegen.

This was supposed to be a very simple ball handling move; Ter Stegen would have had plenty of time to launch the ball long into the attacking third or pass it to a nearby teammate.

However, perhaps the field was slippery after the heavy rain before the competition, or perhaps the immense psychological pressure caused a change in technique.

Ter Stegen at the moment of stopping the ball.

My foot suddenly slipped, my supporting foot lost its footing, and my ball-stopping motion was completely distorted!

The ball didn't stop at his feet as expected, but instead slipped past them and rolled slowly towards the edge of the penalty area!

And that place happened to be Yan Yuan, who had a keen sense of smell and was always looking for an opportunity!

"Oh no! Wait a minute!!! Ter Stegen! Huge mistake! He miscontrolled the ball! Yan Yuan... Yan Yuan is going to be in trouble!!!" Zhan Jun's voice was filled with astonishment.

When Yan Yuan saw Ter Stegen make a mistake, he could hardly believe his eyes.

As a top striker, Yan Yuan's instincts allowed him to instantly activate his attack and easily intercept this "gift" from the opposing goalkeeper.

Ter Stegen scrambled back in an attempt to catch up.

But Yan Yuan simply flicked the ball past the disheveled German goalkeeper with ease, and then easily slotted it into the empty net!

6-0!

"Goal again... Yan Yuan scores twice... I'll gladly accept this gift... This... This is simply a microcosm of Barcelona's disastrous night."

"Ter Stegen, a world-class goalkeeper, made such a basic mistake in such a crucial match. It shows how utterly the team's mentality has collapsed." Coach Zhan Jun's tone was full of sympathy and helplessness.

This goal completely drained the last bit of energy from the Barcelona players.

They stood there expressionless, their eyes vacant. The final whistle might have been a relief for them.

When the referee finally blew the final whistle, the scoreboard displayed a glaring 6-0, sealing the result of this Champions League quarter-final.

Arsenal players hugged and high-fived each other in celebration, but their celebrations were relatively restrained, lacking excessive jubilation and instead displaying a sense of composure and confidence after completing a task.

They walked to the sidelines and waved to the camera.

The Barcelona players, like defeated roosters, quickly bowed their heads and left the field; no one wanted to stay in this place of heartbreak for even a second longer.

Pique, Busquets, Messi...

These former world-class athletes now bear a face full of pain, confusion, and shame.

Being humiliated by the same team with a total score of 10-0 and a single-match score of 0-6 for two consecutive seasons is undoubtedly one of the darkest chapters in the history of the Barcelona club.

Yan Yuan has once again become Barcelona's nightmare.

He not only directly participated in this massacre with goals and assists, but also perfectly executed the team's tactics with his superb football intelligence and overall vision, making him the undisputed core of Arsenal's epic victory.

Tonight, under the stadium sky, Arsenal's red and white became the only colors of victory.

With an undisputed and overwhelming victory, they marched proudly into the Champions League semi-finals, taking an incredibly solid step towards that supreme honor.

Barcelona, ​​meanwhile, bid a sad farewell to this season's Champions League with yet another painful defeat and many issues that require deep reflection.

For them, the night was far too long and far too cold.

For Arsenal, they are one step closer to the Champions League trophy.
