Chapter 440 Penalty Shootout
Guardiola angrily hammered the ceiling of the bench, and the duck he got flew away. This kind of extreme disappointment cannot be experienced by others.

And those substitute players who stood on the sidelines waiting for the victory sat back in their seats in embarrassment. Sure enough, there will be retribution for celebrating too early.

Before Caesar scored a goal and ran out of the penalty area, he was knocked to the ground by his excited teammates.Simeone and the others also rushed into the field, and everyone played arhats.If the referee hadn't stopped them, the final minutes of extra time would have passed with Atletico Madrid celebrating.

Caesar stood up and hammered his chest hard at the fans.

Messi looked up at the time, the game came to the 119th minute, they were out of time.

Sure enough, when Barcelona moved the ball to the wing, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

"The game is over! In 120 minutes, the two teams drew 3:3! In the end, the winner can only be decided through a penalty shootout!"

Penalty shootouts are very cruel and exciting. If you have a weak heart, don't watch them.

Even professional players sometimes dare not watch penalty shootouts.

Stronger than Henry, in the 98 World Cup held in China, in the penalty shootout between France and Italy, the young Henry hid behind Trezeguet and did not dare to watch the penalty shootout.

Fortunately, the team won the game, and Henry has since grown up and transformed into a top player in the world.

The penalty shootout not only tests the skills of the players, but also tests the psychological quality of the players.

To be honest, Atletico Madrid players who boast mud legs are much better than Barcelona in terms of psychological quality.

Simeone walked through the crowd with the form. He considered the first penalty for a long time, but he still gave it to Gabi.

Gabi is the captain, and his psychological quality is really top-notch among Spanish players.Let him be the first one, Simeone is also very relieved.

The second is Costa, the team's top scorer, with nothing to say about his skills.

The third and fourth are Godin and Vidal. As fighters in the team, both of them volunteered to take penalty kicks.

The fifth Simeone didn't even think about it, and wrote Caesar's name.

The rest is up to you, Simeone wrote his name according to the position.

This is the first time Caesar has participated in a penalty shootout since he came to Atletico Madrid. Everyone sat there silently. At this time, no one can disturb them, and they must adjust by themselves.

The break time passed quickly, and under the nervous eyes of the fans, the penalty shootout began.

Atletico Madrid was not very lucky, and Gabi guessed that it was a late start.

There is always a psychological advantage to going first, not to mention that you can make up for missed penalties.

Courtois hugged the whole team, he will be the most important part of the penalty shootout.

"The penalty shootout begins! Barcelona will take the penalty first!"

Harvey, who was the first to play, made a fairly steady penalty, but Courtois misjudged the direction.

Before the Barcelona fans had time to be proud, Gabi's goal made them shut up.

"Both teams sent their best players in the first round. Facts have proved that they deserve to be the first-round penalty takers!"

Courtois and Pinto failed to save the ball, and it was the second round.

"Barcelona's second appearance is Pedro! As the most outstanding generation of La Masia's youth training, Pedro has become a symbol of the team! Let's see how he performs!"

As a result, Pedro lived up to expectations and scored the goal.

Courtois still didn't save the ball, but it's normal not to save the ball in the penalty shootout, so everyone just shook their heads.

Costa walked out of the crowd, he was very confident, especially when he was facing that Pinto, he didn't take him seriously at all.

Facts have proved that Costa has the capital of self-confidence, just as his rough appearance does not match the skills under his feet. This kick shot with a spoon surprised everyone, and at the same time it also made Atletico Madrid fans excited.

"Damn it, this bastard is so handsome!" Simeone cursed. Costa dared to play at this time, which shows that his psychological quality is very strong.

"Barcelona's third is Pique! As a central defender, can Pique score the ball?"

Courtois hopped up and down the line to no avail as Piqué volleyed the ball into the dead corner.

"Strike!" Harvey slapped his hands vigorously and shook his fist at Pique.

The penalty shootout was extremely torturous, and Leon in the stands felt like his heart was about to jump out.

"Atletico Madrid played Vidal!"

"The Chilean kicked the ball into the goal too!"

"Barcelona's fourth appearance is Iniesta!"

Courtois looked into Iniesta's eyes, Xiaobai's psychological quality needless to say, he must be very calm.

"Iniesta also kicked a penalty kick! As a response just now!"

"Damn it!" Courtois hammered the turf with a frustrated expression on his face.

Atletico Madrid's fourth is Godin, and Pinto did not save the ball.

Now the pressure has come to the fifth player on both sides to take the penalty. Yes, it is Messi and Caesar.

"Messi has scored 3 goals in this game and completed a hat-trick! Penalty kicks are the easiest way to score goals. I believe Messi is fine."

Messi put the ball on the ground and looked up to see Courtois in front of him.

"I saw you against Chelsea and I know you missed the penalty again."

"Oh? Courtois is talking to Messi, but Messi is unmoved!"

really?
Courtois didn't know if his trash talk was working, but he did watch the game and Messi's missed penalty was the turning point.

If it hadn't been for his missed penalty kick, Barcelona could definitely get rid of Chelsea and advance to the final.It's a pity that taking you to seek has become the biggest obstacle on Messi's way to become king.

And this time, will he break the demon?
Guardiola suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of mistrust, and he suddenly regretted his decision to let Messi take the fifth penalty.

Rest assured, this is just a psychological effect.

He must be able to.

However.
"Messi run-up! Hit the goal!"

"??!!"

"Not in!"

"Messi's penalty was blocked by Courtois alone! Messi did not score the most important penalty! Now as long as Atletico Madrid kicks the penalty kick, Atletico Madrid will win the Copa del Rey this season!"

"Atletico Madrid played Caesar! Will Caesar be that hero?!"

Messi stared in disbelief after missing the penalty. He stared at Courtois, who was ecstatic.

It wasn't until the referee signaled that he could go back that Messi walked back in a daze.

On the way, he met Caesar, and the two did not communicate much.But Messi felt a certain emotion from Caesar's aura, and that emotion was called: he will definitely win.

"Caesar stomps the ball on the penalty spot! Pinto is interfering with him! Whispering something!"

"Caesar laughed. Is he mocking Pinto? Or is he releasing pressure on himself?!"

Simeone squatted on the ground, while the rest of the bench watched nervously in front of the goal.

"beep!"

The referee blew the whistle, Caesar poked the ground with his right toe, ran up, looked at Pinto, Pinto responded in advance, and Caesar pushed hard.

"The goal is in! Pinto made it in the wrong direction! Atletico Madrid beat Barcelona on penalties! Atletico Madrid won! They won all the titles that the team can win this season! Let us congratulate Atletico Madrid!"
