When David Villa's long shot, many commentators on the scene were still reporting on the lineups of both sides of the game, but it had no impact on them, because David Villa's long shot ended with a shout for the crossbar. end.
"Valencia's attack was very strong and they took a shot less than 20 seconds into the game." quipped the Barcelona TV commentator.
Taking advantage of the time when Valdez took the goal kick, each TV station reported the historical results of both sides in the final as usual.
Barcelona and Valencia have met exactly 150 times in history.
Barcelona has the upper hand with 60 wins, 38 draws and 52 losses.
In addition, Barcelona scored 281 goals and conceded 236 goals.
However, the record of battles in the past five years puts Barcelona to shame.
The two sides fought a total of 16 times and were at an absolute disadvantage with 4 wins, 1 draw and 11 losses.
They only scored 19 goals and conceded 39 goals.
Of course, Barcelona TV will not talk about the battle record in this area.
He said: "Barcelona and Valencia fought twice in the Champions League semi-finals in the 2005-2006 season, achieving an unbeaten record of one win and one draw.
This third match It is no surprise that Barcelona will remain undefeated against Valencia and win the Champions League without any doubt."
The game had already started five minutes ago.
Before the game, Guardiola hoped that the team's offense would open a gap on Alberda's side, but what he didn't expect was that this was not a loophole in Valencia's defense.
Instead, it was hidden in the seemingly weak defense.
The strongest line of defense.
Albelda's age has indeed affected his various physical indicators, but his experience has not fallen behind.
Moreover, Valencia's defense is a whole, and each other's replacement is very timely.
Once Albelda appears and is passed If the ball falls, the central defender will pull out for protection as soon as possible.
It's just that it's rare for Alberda to be passed.
He relies on his valuable experience to ensure that there are no problems in the back line, and he often fills in for the two full-backs.
He doesn't look like a 34-year-old at all. veteran.
In the words of Canizares, the commentator of Valencia's First Sports Channel: "David showed me him at his peak, with his excellent position selection and super interception ability.
I think he is still fully capable.
You can play at least two seasons.”
The Valencia fans in the stands also praised veteran Albelda with huge shouts.
With a strong defense line, Valencia's offense began to flourish, and its threat became stronger and stronger.
Aiello's disruptive ability was brought into full play at this time.
Whether he was facing Dani Alves on the left or the cancer fighter Abidal on the right, he would spin the opponent around.
Yes, the defensive midfielder and The central defender has to cover his position frequently.
If David Villa hadn't been in particularly good condition, Barcelona's goal would have been breached by Valencia long ago.
It wasn't until the eleventh minute that Barcelona created a chance to threaten Valencia's goal.
At that time, Xavi and Iniesta played a one-two in the middle, attracting Albelda.
Then Xavi changed his ankle and passed the ball to Messi, who was attacking the right rib.
The latter dribbled the ball.
Attracting three defenders from Valencia, the defensive position gradually moved closer to the left.
Messi has a wide vision and directly lobs the ball with his left foot to his own attacking left, which is Valencia's defensive right.
A black whirlwind came from behind.
Azpilicueta did not turn around quickly enough, but Abidal took the lead and put the ball into the penalty area, causing local panic.
Abidal struck while the iron was hot and passed an inverted triangle pass.
Messi fired an angry shot from the penalty area line without being marked.
Albelda fell to the ground and blocked it half a beat late.
However, at this moment, Wang Xiaolei stood up.
He pulled onions on dry land like a conditioned reflex, lifted the ball up with the palm of his left hand, and the football was higher than the crossbar.
"Oh oh oh" The stands then erupted into a tsunami-like scream, especially the Valencia fans, who were shocked.

They all knew that if Valencia opened the scoring, they would be in trouble.
Commentator Huang Jianxiang let out a sigh of relief: "Oh, luckily Wang Xiaolei is focused, otherwise Messi would have helped Barcelona open the scoring."
Subsequently, Harvey's corner kick did not threaten the Valencia goal.
Aiello, who was returning to the penalty area, headed the ball out of the penalty area.
Iniesta, who was defending outside the penalty area, caught him and Barcelona organized a second attack.
However, Valencia's forward pressure was very fast.
In order to prevent Valencia from intercepting the ball and launching a quick counterattack, Iniesta had to pass the ball to Alves in the center circle and waited until the formation was completely dispersed before organizing the attack again.
Two minutes later, Valencia fired back.
Mata suddenly passed the ball behind the central defender 40 meters away from the Barcelona goal.
Aiello understood the situation and came out from the back line, taking advantage of the situation and passing the ball into the defense line.
The passion of the fans at the scene also broke out into huge cheers due to Ai Luo's intervention.
However, seeing that Aiello was about to face goalkeeper Valdez when he hit the ball, referee Kaushoy's whistle sounded at an inappropriate time.
Ai Luo turned around and looked at the referee with a confused look on his face.
He saw him holding the whistle in his mouth with his left hand and raising his right arm high.
At the same time, the first assistant referee's side flag was also raised.
This is offside.
Immediately afterwards, the on-site director gave a slow-motion replay, and the parallel lines were locked at the moment when Mata passed the ball.
It was very clear that Aiello was at least one position away from the full-back Abidal who was trailing behind, so the fans supporting Valencia burst into loud boos and sent them to the referee.
In this regard, Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor had to say: "The only thing to blame is that Ai ran so fast that the linesman subconsciously thought that he was advancing from an offside position."
Of course, there are also the sunny words of BBC commentator Lineker: "I guess this linesman from Hungary rarely watches football games."
The implication is that he doesn't know how fast Iroh is.
After Mata's through ball penetrated Barcelona's defense, Guardiola could not sit comfortably on the coaching bench.
He stood extremely nervously on the edge of his technical command area.
The biggest problem with the team's defense just now is that it was a little overconfident, not restricting Mata enough when he got the ball, and being too indulgent towards Aiello.
But thinking of Aiello's free kick hat trick in the Champions League semifinals, Barcelona's defensive players have to choose the location of the foul well.
This also resulted in a much smaller defensive area for Barcelona.
Because it is impossible for the defender to completely complete the defense in a technical confrontation, many times it requires non-technical actions to help defend.
And many times this kind of action is judged or not, but because of the obvious misjudgment just now.
Therefore, no one can guarantee that the referee will not find a balance and give Valencia a well-positioned direct free kick
