After the score was leveled, the attitude of the Barcelona players immediately became tense.
After all, they had been leading at home just now, and the players' mentality was relatively relaxed.....
But once the score was leveled, the Barcelona players couldn't afford to be casual anymore.
Although a 2-2 score at Emirates Stadium still gave Arsenal an advantage, if they could win, who would want to lose?
When Piqué saw Fly score a goal right after finishing his harsh words to him, his face fell.....
After all, being shown up twice by the same person in one match, even for someone like Piqué who doesn't care much about face, was a bit awkward.
"Damn it.... why can't I defend against this guy?"
Piqué felt he had tried his best, but facing Fly, he still couldn't exert any force.
Sometimes he clearly felt he could complete the defense, but he was constantly shattered mentally by Fly's various "one step ahead" moves.....
Piqué naturally didn't know that the 'cheating' Fly, due to having God's Eye, would always be "one step ahead" in any situation.
Piqué, who wasn't known for his speed, naturally couldn't stop him.
In the 65th minute of the match.
Fly once again dribbled the ball down the flank. This time, facing Piqué's close marking, Fly executed a fake shot and true pass, sending the ball to Wilshere who had pushed forward into position.
Wilshere took a curling shot upon receiving the ball, which struck the right post and went out of bounds.
"Tsk.... what a pity."
Seeing Wilshere's high-quality shot, Fly gave him a thumbs-up, signaling 'well done'.
It must be said.... Wilshere was indeed in excellent form in this match.
Whether it was his midfield battling and control, or his various forward drives, he performed exceptionally well.
Fly remembered that Wilshere's best professional match in his previous life was the first leg of the Champions League against Barcelona in this season.
But that match was originally a Round of 16 tie.....
In this timeline, due to Fly's sudden emergence, Arsenal did not clash with Barcelona in the Round of 16, but it was postponed to the Quarter-finals.
In other words, the match where Wilshere performed best in his previous life was not the same match as the one currently underway!
Only the opponent was the same, and the venue was the same...
But watching now, Fly noticed that Wilshere's form in this match was indeed somewhat explosive.
Even Xavi, Iniesta, and Busquets couldn't gain any advantage compared to him, which was simply unbelievable during the Dream Three era.
"No, Wilshere is in such good form in this match, we must win as much as possible.... otherwise, it will be difficult to go to Camp Nou in the next match."
Fly suddenly realized that Arsenal not only had to win this match but also try to win by more than one goal!
It's rare for his teammate to have such an explosive performance; if they don't take this opportunity to extend their first-leg lead, what's the point?
How could they play the second leg at Barcelona's devilish home ground, Camp Nou?
In the 67th minute of the match.
The in-form Wilshere once again pulled off a one-two move in the center, leaving Xavi and Busquets looking like training cones.
However, just before he could make a through ball, he was directly fouled by the pressing Piqué.
The Main Referee showed Piqué a yellow card, which was the only yellow card shown to either team so far in the match.
Guardiola's face couldn't help but turn ugly seeing Piqué pick up a yellow card.....
You know, the player Piqué was marking in this match was Fly!
Now that he's on a yellow card, what can he do for the rest of the time?
Guardiola didn't believe Fly wouldn't take advantage of the situation and relentlessly torment Piqué, who was on a yellow card!
"Sigh.... I only hope Gerrard (Piqué) can hold on."
Barcelona's defensive resources were not abundant, and Guardiola had no one available to replace Piqué.
Facing a super-killer like Fly, a half-baked defender would be ruthlessly exposed, and Guardiola firmly believed this.....
In the 70th minute of the match.
Wilshere, in coordination with Alexandre Song, made a sudden tackle in midfield. Iniesta, in a moment of urgency, hastily cleared the ball, but unfortunately, it didn't go far and was quickly poked away by Nasri.
Wilshere followed the trajectory of Nasri's poke, gained possession of the ball, and immediately accelerated towards Barcelona's defensive line.
Busquets made a timely recovery run, but the in-form Wilshere completely ignored Busquets, dropped his shoulder, changed direction, and bypassed Professor Busquets before kicking the ball to Clichy who had pushed up on the left flank.
At this moment, the person chasing behind Clichy was none other than Messi.
However, the Argentina king did not chase all the way back, only pursuing to the midfield line before stopping abruptly and standing in place to watch the match.
It was precisely because Messi did not apply sufficient pressure that Clichy was able to control the ball very easily.
And Alves, who was supposed to defend as the right-back, was forcibly pinned back in the right defensive area by Fly, not daring to move!
After all, Fly had already scored two goals right in front of him and Piqué. Now, both of them were very well-behaved, acting as Fly's "left and right guardians" throughout, never leaving Fly's side by more than two steps.
Clichy noticed that there were no Barcelona players within ten meters in front of him, so he dribbled the ball all the way forward until he was close to the penalty area before being pressured by the recovering Busquets.
Facing this situation, Clichy did not hold onto the ball but instead made a through pass directly behind Alves.
Fly, who had already anticipated Clichy's passing intention, managed to start early and shake off both Piqué and Alves, even though they were sandwiching him from left and right.
Since he was already on a yellow card, Piqué only lightly tugged Fly's jersey with his hand and did not make any excessive moves.
Even though Fly felt a backward pull, his starting speed was too fast and his momentum too great, allowing him to easily catch up to Clichy's through pass.
After gaining possession, Fly looked up at Van Persie who had pushed forward in the center. Seeing that the value displayed on the green line was only 21%, Fly abandoned the idea of crossing.
Clearly, a 21% cross success rate indicated that a cross at this moment would likely be intercepted by Barcelona players.
Fly wasn't an idiot.... he certainly wouldn't make such a choice.
Noticing that Piqué and Alves were about to catch up from behind, Fly saw that God's Eye had drawn another green line.
That was a cut-back pass to the edge of the penalty area, with a success probability as high as 62%. However, Fly still didn't choose this option.
Because the goal probability from a shot after this cut-back pass was only 30%, which was too low.....
So, Fly simply chose not to pass, imitating Benzema in '17 and Vítinha in '25, and performed a 1v3 move directly near the byline.
Facing the pressing Piqué, Fly simply nudged the ball lightly and completed the evasion.
Then, with a ball-and-man separation near the byline, Fly kicked the ball into the Barcelona penalty area, while he himself ran around the defending Piqué from outside the field, completely getting away.
Barcelona's other center-back saw that Fly had directly fooled both Alves and Piqué and had to step forward to close down his space.
Since Fly's position at this time was less than two meters from the left post, he had a clear opportunity to shoot directly and create a deadly threat.
Therefore, all the Barcelona players focused their attention on Fly.
Valdés also hurriedly moved towards the left post to prevent Fly from scoring directly with a near-post shot.
At this moment, Fly saw another green line through God's Eye, a line that made him choose to replicate that route without hesitation.
It was still a cut-back pass, but the success rate of this pass was astonishingly high at 97%, which basically meant this pass would not be intercepted.
Of course, the real reason Fly chose to replicate this route without hesitation was because the shooting success rate after this cut-back pass was a terrifying 78%, which was incredibly high.....
This meant that if Fly operated according to the method shown by this route, there would be more than a three-quarters chance of completing a comeback and giving Arsenal the lead.
For such a choice, it would be a sin if Fly hesitated for even a second longer.
"Fly dribbles down the flank, oh dear.... he gets past two, Piqué and Alves are left behind, Abidal steps up.... he passes, Fly makes a cut-back pass."
"The ball is passed to the penalty spot area, no interference.... Wilshere! He shoots... it's a goal!!!"
"It's a goal!!!"
"At a crucial moment, Fly, relying on his extraordinary individual ability, dissected the Barcelona defense and helped Wilshere score a goal."
"3-2, Arsenal complete the comeback and take the lead for the first time in this match!"
"How should Barcelona respond? This is a difficult problem....."
