Soccer: Maxed-out ball control, the skill is too overpowered.

Chapter 391 The Ultimate Showdown Between Football Kings!

"LU SHAW! El Mejor!"

"Lu Xiao! The King of Football!" "Lu Xiao! The King of Football!"

The voices of nearly 6 people converged, forming a massive shockwave that soared into the sky.

What a shock this is!

Fans who watched the game live can definitely feel that chilling sensation!

He Wei felt it most deeply!

I was very excited when I was in a studio thousands of miles away, watching this on the screen.

But only by being there in person can you truly experience this unparalleled, immersive, and breathtaking sound in full surround sound!

The most crucial point is that the tens of thousands of Spaniards at the scene, these white Europeans in a foreign land, were worshipping their own compatriots, the descendants of Yan and Huang!

He Wei's sense of pride reached its peak at this moment!

Listen to the sounds from Wanda Metropolitano Stadium! Everyone is calling out Lu Xiao's name!

……

Atletico Madrid 2-0 Barcelona.

Only 27 minutes into the first half!

Seeing Lu Xiao jump 3 meters high on the sidelines in a wild celebration, Lionel Messi felt his resolve crumble for a moment.

He couldn't understand why.

Why, after so many years in the professional arena, just one step away from becoming the GOAT in football, is he about to be surpassed by an Asian kid?

Why?

What's the point of battling Ronaldo for so many years?

It's like two worlds deciding that a swordsman's duel is evenly matched.

Suddenly, an unknown young man appeared and pulled out a musket.

Two shots rang out, taking down two men, then he blew the smoke from the muzzle of his gun.

My lord, times have changed.

Messi even began to doubt whether he still had a reason to keep fighting.

Why not just lie down, give up, and make money instead?

Make a few hundred million dollars, then plan your retirement.

Why exhaust yourself running around on the field?

Just when Messi was feeling lost,

Suarez and Neymar exchanged a glance and moved closer at the same time.

"Leo, are you alright?"

"Sorry, we didn't perform well."

Suarez surprisingly apologized, even though he hadn't done anything wrong.

Pique, Alves, Busquets, and others gathered around Messi, patting him on the back to comfort him.

"Brother, we're counting on you to hold on."

Iniesta smiled faintly.

As a World Cup champion, the Spanish hero who scored the winning goal in the World Cup final, the core of the six-time champions, and the pillar of Barcelona after Xavi...

Iniesta is very composed; nothing can bring him down.

Seeing that Messi's eyes were a little unfocused, Iniesta quietly went over to comfort his teammate.

In a short moment, Messi quickly regained his usual confidence and composure.

"That's right, remember to give me the ball."

Messi doesn't have the same flamboyant personality as Ronaldo.

That was all he could say, then he left behind his number 10 silhouette and turned back to his seat.

The rest of his Barcelona teammates are well aware of this.

Greatness needs no further explanation!

As long as Messi doesn't give up, Barcelona can continue to maintain their fighting spirit!

……

The game restarted, and Barcelona tried to control the ball by taking possession of it, passing it around in their own half.

Atletico Madrid didn't rush to press, maintaining a low press and forming an impenetrable wall around the 30-meter zone, allowing Barcelona to control the ball.

The two sides appear to be at peace, but undercurrents are swirling beneath the surface.

Lu Xiao, who contributed one assist and one goal, keenly observed that

Barcelona is still able to maintain their fighting spirit, and the team is even more cohesive than before!

Most people might panic.

Lu Xiao, on the contrary, smiled.

"That's interesting, that's more like Barcelona!"

Whether playing against Barcelona or Real Madrid, surrendering too early always leaves you with a sense of wistful indifference, like a wise man who has just finished a sprint.

That's how it is against Manchester City; they put up a fierce fight at the beginning, but gave up in the second half.

Barcelona should have used stronger tactics against Atletico Madrid!

Otherwise, you are not worthy to be my opponent, Lu Xiao!

"Wait a minute, isn't this a bit too powerful?"

After a few minutes of passing the ball around, the Barcelona players seemed to regain their confidence, with everyone actively making runs and creating space.

Iniesta, Busquets, and other midfield maestros were not to be outdone.

They began probing for weaknesses in Atletico Madrid's defense.

The situation appears calm and peaceful on the surface, but undercurrents are surging beneath.

Those who don't understand football might easily fall asleep while watching.

But those who understand football have already sat up straight.

Diego Simeone, who had been wearing a relaxed smile, stood up from his seat, frowned, and crossed his arms.

He found that Barcelona played with great discipline, their passing was fluid and unhurried.

There was a hint of the invincible style he displayed during his peak six-time champion period.

Even though Harvey is gone,

Veterans Busquets and Iniesta also led Rakitic in some beautiful passing sequences.

He Wei's tone was no longer as relaxed as before, and began to become serious.

Atletico Madrid tried to press forward to create a sense of urgency, but Barcelona remained unhurried, slowly transitioning from the attacking third to the defensive third, passing the ball to goalkeeper Ter Stegen.

"Come back! Come back!"

Captain Godin sensed something was wrong and quickly told his teammates to tighten their formation to avoid being pulled away by Basara.

Lu Xiao was also calling out to his teammates, beckoning Griezmann back to help defend.

The disciplined Atletico Madrid quickly returned to the edge of the penalty area, giving their opponents no chance and forming an insurmountable wall.

"Ter Stegen... to Alba."

"Alba, pass it to Busquets... Messi, Atletico Madrid are marking Messi very closely... Okay, pass it to Alves."

Messi dropped back to the center circle and passed the ball out amidst a three-man encirclement, seemingly making it difficult to break through the blockade.

Atletico Madrid's formation remained tight and continued to retreat.

Alves then made another cross to the left-back, Alba flicked the ball to Busquets with the instep of his foot without stopping.

"Rakitic comes on, Iniesta, Rakitic, Busquets, Messi, Rakitic, Iniesta..."

He Wei announced the players with the ball in a continuous stream, much like reciting a menu.

This shows just how fluid Barcelona's passing was in the footage.

Lu Xiao dared not be careless, realizing that Barcelona's attempt to pass to Neymar on the left flank, combining with Suarez, posed a significant threat.

He quickly moved over to assist his teammates in defending the flank attack.

Sure enough, Iniesta pierced through the crowd and passed to Neymar.

Neymar may not seem to have the same level of fame as Messi, but when he has the ball, people are just as worried as when Messi has the ball!

"Neymar, try to break through with a step-over. Juanfran did a great job, keeping Neymar pinned down."

"Iniesta receives the pass, backheeling it to Busquets..."

Seeing that Barcelona was focusing their attacks on the left flank, Atletico Madrid players were all moved to that side to engage in zonal battles.

So far, both sides have been exchanging blows and demonstrating the offensive and defensive prowess of top-class teams, leaving even football experts in awe.

Rakitic got the ball, and Lu Xiao even tried to use [Xiao Junguang]'s muscle memory to tackle and disrupt the play.

Unfortunately, Barcelona's squad was too densely packed.

Lu Xiao's tackle was intercepted by Busquets from behind, who then passed the ball to Iniesta.

Lu Xiao, who was lying on the ground, suddenly realized that something was wrong!

It was too late to get up and chase after them!

Iniesta feigned a pass to the left wing, deceiving the defenders, then suddenly twisted his body and delivered a diagonal pass to the right side of the penalty area!

"Messi!!!"

Messi receiving the ball is a signal from Barcelona.

Nearly 20 passes were laid out before this one!

"Messi!!! He dribbles past two opponents!! He's done it! Messi, Messi!!"

"Messi, Messi, Messi, Messi..."

Compared to He Wei's commentary, the Catalan commentator next to him was even more excited, only mentioning Messi's name!

But Messi showed his world number one ability!

His unparalleled stride frequency and change of direction were so impressive that even four people couldn't stop him!

He dribbles inside while avoiding Gabi and Luis's interceptions, then dribbles laterally and makes a forward run!

Godin didn't even have time to extend his leg!

Jimenez stretched out his foot, seemingly tripping Messi, and panicked, thinking it was a penalty.

Who would have thought that Messi, who was almost falling to the ground, would suddenly get up?

He suddenly unleashed a curling shot right in front of Suarez!

In the instant he almost fell to the ground, he managed to unleash a tricky shot!

Suarez was so intimidated that he didn't dare to make any move, standing like a pillar in the penalty area!

Everyone else at Atlético Madrid was shocked!

Goalkeeper Oblak's heart skipped a beat, and he made a diving save!

"It's too late."

Lu Xiao thought to himself.

I've seen this ball in a prophetic dream; it's one of Messi's most memorable moments.

I can't remember who Barcelona's opponent was in my dream.

In reality, Atletico Madrid became the background.

The football traced an unstoppable arc, slamming against the post and bouncing into the net!

Oblak then flew over and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Goooooooal!!!Messi——"

"Get up!! Wow!!!! This ball!!"

All the commentators in the media section exclaimed in different tones!

Barcelona miraculously pulled one back from a desperate situation!

2-1!

The suspense at Wanda Metropolitano Stadium has been reignited!

The home team's stands erupted in uproar, heads in their hands, while only the away team's Barcelona fans were in a frenzy of celebration!

"Is this Messi?"

Prior to this, Lu Xiao's 100% win rate against Messi made him underestimate this short guy a little.

It now seems that the reason Messi is one of the world's top players is because...

Don't underestimate him, or you'll be in trouble!

After scoring, Messi leaped into the air and sprinted down to the stands to embrace his teammates, while the Barcelona players ran wildly in celebration, seemingly venting their frustration.

That ball was so hard for them!

Messi is also Barcelona's guardian angel, always stepping up to save the team in times of crisis!

Just like what he just said.

"Remember to pass the ball to me."

he made it!

hiss--

"interesting."

Lu Xiao felt like a villain, and couldn't help but laugh when he saw Messi score.

The battle for the world's number one spot continues, and Messi hasn't given up yet!

When Messi and his teammates finished celebrating and walked to the center circle...

A photographer on the sidelines happened to capture a world-famous painting!

Lu Xiao and Messi stared at each other from a distance of several meters.
