. Secondly, Araujo was sent off by a red card in the Champions League last year because he saved too hard, causing Paris to turn the tables on Barcelona, ​​which may be one of the reasons why he has restrained his aggressiveness at the moment.

But it is not appropriate to throw 100% of the responsibility for both goals to Araujo. Barcelona lost the ball for the third time. Araujo has stretched out his foot to block Archerbi's low tie-up line. However, who knew that Archerbi's shot, which had few goals record, was comparable to a world-class forward, and hit the upper corner of the close post blocked by Szczesny. During Barcelona's fourth goal conceding, De Jong appeared, who was not caught, attacking Gerard Martin, who was pushed away, did not interfere with Taremi's wall, and Kubasi, who finally failed to show off his fancy defense.

Araujo did play a game that should be sold, but the club also needs to consider what prevented Araujo from returning to his previous level. Is it a residual problem after the operation? Or is it a psychological problem or an attitude problem? I believe that preventing Araujo from playing at the level of his supposedly level is not an attitude problem, but more of a psychological problem and injury problem. This can be cured and restored, especially under Flick's leadership, you can see De Jong who played for 120 minutes in this game.

In the end, Barcelona actually had the chance to equalize the score in the second half of overtime. In the 114th minute, Inter Milan almost made the same mistake as Barcelona conceded the third goal. Inter Milan, who was leading by one goal, wanted to press in the frontcourt. There were 8 people pressing in Barcelona at the halftime, but Lewand's retreat broke Inter Milan's press and launched a counterattack. However, in the end, Yamal's shot was saved by Sommer with his fingertips, and Barcelona finally failed to equalize again, regretfully failed to reach the final.

How to summarize when Barcelona is eliminated?

Cruyff Jr. commented on Spanish live TV that night: "If my father wants to choose a way of playing, it is Barcelona's way of playing tonight. If he wants to be eliminated, he should also be eliminated with honor. Barcelona almost completed the promotion, but was eventually eliminated. I am sure my father will be proud of this team, and he is happy to see this team. If he has to be eliminated, he will fall down with pride."

If you want to analyze Barcelona from all aspects, it seems that many conclusions can be drawn. For example, some people say that Barcelona's defense is too poor, and a team with too poor defense is impossible to win the Champions League, and a team with 7 goals will not be able to enter the finals, but Inter Milan, which was also hit by 6 goals, also entered the finals? If you want to analyze tactical issues, Barcelona's set ball concealed in the first leg, as well as the 1-2-point problem of fighting in the first leg and the last moment of this leg, reflects Barcelona's poor ability to compete for the ball, and of course, there are loopholes in Araujo's personal defense. But Barcelona is a team with all attacks and defenses. When everyone discusses that Gerard Martin and Ormo were forced to conceal the ball, causing Inter Milan to lead 2-0, it should also be noted that Gerard Martin's two assists and one goal from Ormo helped the team equalize the score at one time. If we look at it from a point perspective and from the various aspects that are decomposed, we cannot see a complete Barcelona.

Flick's idea was obviously not the case. When the set ball was concealed in the first leg and the high-altitude ball was at an absolute disadvantage, Flick did not adjust his lineup, but he definitely emphasized the defense of the high ball in the game preparation and targeted training. Flick still chose the offensive idea that was mainly me. It did not change from the first minute of the game to the last minute of the game, from 0-2 to overtake 3-2, and then to 3-4, Barcelona has been playing proactive offensive football, and even pursued goals when he was leading 3-2 and was only a few minutes away from entering the final, although we think this may be a mistake. But this is Barcelona. They have never doubted themselves. Even when they were behind 0-2 in both games, this is the best side that Barcelona has shown for me. A team can choose the style that suits you best, or even a fusion of multiple styles, but once you choose, don't waver. The most unbearable way to be eliminated is to not be able to play your own things. But this time Barcelona is not. Barcelona plays its own style and takes everything, so Flick encourages the players after the game, "I am proud of you, you have brought everything, there is nothing to regret."

Guardiola often says: "I will die with my style." This seems to be a beautiful saying that goes to death, but in fact it is not the case. There is only one Champions League champion every year. If all other teams are called "dead teams", then Guardiola obviously "dead" far more times than lives. This year, Flick's Barcelona is the same.

Kipchoge once said a famous saying: "Failure refers to those who have never tried it, but I went to try it and won, but that day did not belong to me, this is sports. In the garden you can see wheat and flowers. If you only care about wheat, you will not see flowers. Let us pay more attention to the flowers and enjoy the true meaning of sports." Barcelona has tried it, and it is even a little bit short of getting "wheat". But in the end, Meacha's day does not belong to Barcelona, ​​which does not affect our appreciation of this flower in Barcelona.
