Chapter 357: Camp Nou’s Monument of Shame
The football hit the snow-white net, and the frenetic atmosphere created by the Camp Nou stadium came to an abrupt end at this moment. There was complete silence, and even the excited Liverpool fans shut their mouths and gazed affectionately at the boy who ran all the way with his arms open.
The on-site director was not affected by Li Qing's equalization of the total score. He focused on asking the staff to focus on Li Qing according to his requirements.
Until then, Sky TV commentator Andy Gray reacted suddenly, bursting out all the energy in his body, making a signature long sound, venting the adrenaline rush of Li Qing's goal of dribbling past seven players, and was ecstatic: "Goooooooooooooooal——"
"Li Qing passed Ter Stegen! Shoot! The ball went in! The ball went in!"
Tianchao Channel 5 commentator He Wei shouted with a surge of emotion: "Hat trick! Hat trick! Li Qing scored his 21st goal in the Champions League this season! His goal also helped Liverpool lead Barcelona 3:0 at Camp Nou and tied the total score! The second half of the game has just started for one minute, and there is still a lot of time for Liverpool to continue to hit the ball..."
Commentary guest Xu Yang released his passion in the fanatical atmosphere: "Whether Liverpool will eliminate Barcelona at Camp Nou, Li Qing's performance in this game can be said to be cosmic level , it's incredible! The first two goals were brilliant and amazing, and at the beginning of the second half, he scored a goal by passing seven players. This is a classic battle that can be recorded in the history of the Champions League! "
"The demon Li Qing helped Liverpool tie the total score in the first minute of the second half! As long as Liverpool scores another goal in the next game, it will be useless even if Barcelona scores one goal back!"
Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun shouted almost crazily: "The problem is handed over to Barcelona. Let us follow Li Qing at this moment to vent the equalizer brought by the goal! Epic performance, who said it's impossible?"
Li Qing opened his arms under the attention of all the fans, ran all the way to the camera on the sidelines, and roared hysterically, venting the abuse and doubts he had suffered during this period. Although three goals are not enough to ensure Liverpool's advancement to the Champions League final, at least they can be undefeated!
It was the first time that the Liverpool fans sitting in front of the TV saw Li Qing's ferocious expression, like a beast with fangs exposed, but this feeling that should have given people a chill was replaced by joy and madness.
Every fan sitting in front of the TV or computer screen was cheering and venting Li Qing's third goal of the game.
Hat tricks are not particularly rare in professional football. If you don't contribute three goals, he will contribute three goals. The key is who the opponent is and which stadium.
Who was the last away player to perform a hat trick in Barcelona?
When?
How many times has it happened in history?
Barcelona has suffered many big losses at home, especially in the last century, but with the advent of the new century, Barcelona has rarely lost at home.
The last time Barcelona lost at home in the Champions League was the 0:3 loss to Bayern led by Robery in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals in the 2012-2013 season. The last time was the 0:4 loss to Getafe at home in the 2006-2007 King's Cup.
However, there are not many players who have performed a hat trick at the Camp Nou. According to historical records, the last away player who performed a hat trick at the Camp Nou was Diego Forlan, who performed a hat trick on behalf of Villarreal in the 2004-2005 season, tying Barcelona 3:3.
It has only happened once in the history of the Champions League, and that can be traced back to the 1/4 finals of the Champions League in the 1997-1998 season. Shevchenko once performed a hat trick here, helping Dynamo Kyiv beat Barcelona 4:0 at the Camp Nou.
It is no exaggeration to say that the game made fans all over the world know Shevchenko, which played a crucial role in his later career transfer to AC Milan.
The older generation of Barcelona fans were speechless, and obviously did not expect the game to go like this.
Last season, they defeated Paris Saint-Germain 6:1 at home, achieving an epic reversal. How could they suffer retribution in just one season?
The Barcelona fans in the audience didn't know, the Barcelona players in the stadium didn't know, and the head coach Valverde was even more confused. He thought of many possibilities before the game, but he didn't expect Liverpool to lead by three goals at the Camp Nou, and it was done by one person.
Even if Barcelona finally advanced to the Champions League final, Li Qing's performance was equivalent to leaving a monument of shame at the Camp Nou.
In sharp contrast, Klopp, the head coach, was like a madman. His iconic combination punch was once again displayed at the Camp Nou, punch after punch, until he felt exhausted and hugged his two assistants Buvac and Kravitz and cried.
The huge pressure before the game can finally be relieved.
The media said that Liverpool relied too much on Li Qing. Now he can say, so what?
Li Qing is an outstanding product of Liverpool's youth training and a part of Liverpool. Why can't he be relied on?
The reporter in the mixed zone aimed the camera at the ecstatic Li Qing and his teammates. Of course, more of it was to capture the wonderful moments of Li Qing's emotional changes.
Li Qing, who had already received a yellow card, did not take off his shirt to celebrate. He knew that if he did so, his two yellow cards would turn into a red card, and then he would be overjoyed and end up in tragedy...
The Camp Nou was completely turned into a sea of joy for Liverpool fans. The huge cheers like a tsunami instantly swept the entire stadium. It should be noted that there were only a few thousand people, so it was extremely shocking.
The commentator in the live broadcast room was still commenting on Li Qing's goal of dribbling past seven players. At this time, almost all football commentators spent all the praise they could on Li Qing.
"It was only two points at the beginning of the second half, and Liverpool led by three goals, tying the total score! Will Li Qing lead Liverpool to eliminate Barcelona directly at the Camp Nou? Both teams are double champions, and sometimes reality is so cruel!"
Juli TV commentator Zhan Jun saw the broadcast screen showing Barcelona players shaking their heads and sighing, and changed the subject: "Again, there are still 45 minutes left for Barcelona players. Now the momentum is on Liverpool's side, but as long as Barcelona players don't give up easily, the suspense of the game still exists. I'm afraid that Barcelona players will be defeated by Li Qing's three goals..."
Messi, who appeared on the broadcast screen, frowned and was worried.
He didn't even touch the ball at the beginning of the second half, but Li Qing helped Liverpool to lead by three goals and tie the total score. He really wanted to vent: "What the hell?"
But reason told him that there was still plenty of time in the game, and now they were only leading in the total score. As long as they continued to score goals in the next game time and scored more goals than Liverpool, Barcelona would definitely advance to the Champions League final this season!
On the contrary, they would become the laughing stock of fans all over the world, and then... they would never be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives.
For this possibility, he would say-No with his actions!
