Barcelona.

On the streets, many British and Catalan people were gesticulating, bargaining.

"This is a Champions League match. Chelsea fans want to buy tickets to the Barça home game from us? Impossible!"

"My family has been Barça members since my grandfather's generation! Our loyalty to Barça..."

"Oh! Praise God, you've solved my lunch problem for half a month!"

Every street and alley.

Scalpers wearing Barça jerseys were surrounded by a large number of Chelsea fans.

In some ways, profit can wash away all grievances between "non-archrival fans."

Loving a club is a habit.

Hating a club requires constantly whipping yourself and reminding yourself.

A dark blue bus slowly drove towards Camp Nou.

The atmosphere on both sides of the street became more and more grand.

Blue Lion flags were planted in the land of Catalonia.

The Blues fans scrambled to run alongside the bus, shouting loudly.

"Lee!!!"

"Hazard!!!"

Posters fluttered.

The Chelsea players opened the windows and waved to interact with the fans.

A logistics staff member couldn't help but look out the window, exclaiming, "How can there be so many fans? Aren't away tickets for the Champions League limited to 5,000?"

Dino explained, "Away fans have many ways to buy home tickets, and many fan organizations often do this."

Since 2011, there have been many, many cases of this kind of "turning the tables."

Fans of Dutch powerhouses like Feyenoord and PSV Eindhoven have also "invaded" the stands of major European giants.

There are too many traitors, it's impossible to defend against.

To take a step back.

Even if they can't enter the stadium to watch the game, there will still be a large number of fans outside making the opponent feel the "momentum."

At this moment, the periphery of the Camp Nou stadium was shrouded in a terrifying dark blue.

Media reporters unanimously thought of a headline:

《Blue Lions Invade Catalonia!》

The press conference hall was crowded.

Tuchel and the press officer were in communication.

The coaching staff led the players onto the Camp Nou pitch to warm up.

Lee Kang loosened his shoelaces, stepped onto the green field, and juggled the soccer ball.

Media reporters took pictures one after another.

Chelsea fans in the nearby stands cheered and raised their phones.

Thump!

The soccer ball quickly rose into the air,

And then fell!

Snap!

Accompanied by a crisp sound of contact.

The soccer ball rose again.

The exaggerated rise and fall mirrored the mood of the Catalan fans.

Lee Kang's left foot juggled the ball higher and higher, eliciting bursts of cheers from fans and media reporters.

Not to show off skills.

But the most common warm-up method used by Maradona, Baggio, Piero, and others.

The Chelsea coaching staff, based on his characteristics, suggested that he also try this method of warming up.

The Catalan fans looked at the blue-shirted number 10 on the green field, their moods complex.

Uncomfortable.

Our La Masia treasure wears the number 10 jersey for different teams every year, opposing Barça.

"Sofia's son doesn't know how to be grateful. Barça raised him and cultivated him!"

"Hehe, my nephew told me that Lee was a crybaby when he was a kid!"

"Shut up."

"Lee is still young, and he will have many opportunities to play for Barça in the future!"

Gradually.

Cries about "going home," "returning," and "homeland" in Catalan burst out from the stands.

Lee Kang pretended not to hear and warmed up on his own.

Fabregas on the side was emotionally stirred.

Pre-match press conference.

Tuchel and Valverde shook hands simply and took their seats.

"Chelsea will take this game seriously."

"Although Barça is in a period of transition, their strength should not be underestimated, especially at home."

"It's not easy to retreat from Camp Nou unscathed."

"I don't have much to say, Chelsea will go all out!"

In complete contrast to the content of his speech, the Chelsea coach looked relaxed.

On the other side.

Valverde's face was calm.

"Barça has a glorious history and will not fear any enemy."

"Camp Nou is a temple."

VIP box.

The Barça executives looked at the Camp Nou invaded by 'dark blue' and listened to the Chelsea team song.

They were instantly enraged.

"Disgrace!"

"Shameless!"

"Camp Nou is defiled!"

Three flags were unfurled on the green field.

The lights focused on the Champions League star logo on the center circle.

The passionate Champions League theme song floated over the Camp Nou.

"Ctv5! Ctv5! Good evening, audience friends."

"We are now broadcasting the opening match of the 2017-18 Champions League group stage live!"

"Barça at home against Chelsea!"

"Water and fire meet, fierce collision!"

"Friction of love and hate, torment of passion and resentment!"

"A never-ending battle of rivals!"

Player tunnel.

Iniesta took the initiative to greet Lee Kang.

His tone was tinged with bitterness: "Lee."

He had already planned to leave Europe next season and go to the J-League in the island nation to spend the last of his career.

As for Barça's future... it rests on Messi alone.

Buffon patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "You're getting old."

Iniesta: "..."

Lee Kang smiled.

A mechanical, cold electronic synthesized sound quietly sounded.

[Ding! Task triggered: Tears of Camp Nou.]

[Task Description: Competitive sports are cruel. Valverde has completed the transformation of Barça. You are about to face another fighting form of Messi. He has given this weak Barça a more terrifying ability to attack independently.]

[Task Reward: Barça Legend Platinum Treasure Chest.]

The atmosphere gradually became serious.

Busquets and Piqué looked serious.

Messi stared firmly into the distance.

After a moment.

The referee team led the players from both sides out of the tunnel.

Camp Nou was instantly occupied by the cheers of Chelsea fans.

"Now, let me introduce the starting lineups for both sides!"

"Barça is fielding a 4-5-1 formation!"

"Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen."

"Defenders: Roberto, Piqué, Umtiti, Alba."

"Midfielders: Paulinho, André Gomes, Messi, Busquets, Iniesta!"

"Forward: Suárez!"

Livestream.

[Coutinho and Dembélé, who were bought at great expense, aren't playing?]

-

[Doesn't matter, as long as Messi can play.]

-

[This lineup... an aging, civilian Barça? How many waves of attacks can they withstand from Chelsea?]

-

[Does it even need Chelsea? I reckon Roma could beat them 3:0!]

-

[Watching him build a tall building, watching him entertain guests, watching his building collapse.]

-

[Don't talk nonsense, this Barça is very strong!]

"Chelsea is fielding a 3-5-2 formation!"

"Goalkeeper: Buffon!"

"Defenders: David Luiz, Cahill, Rüdiger."

"Midfielders: Azpilicueta, Lee Kang, Bakayoko, Kanté, Marcos Alonso."

"Forwards: Hazard, Diego Costa!"

-

[Massive tank cluster]

-

[Platini returning to office can't save this Barça! I said it!]

-

[Bloodbath Camp Nou!]

Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

The match officially began.
