The Greatest of all Time

Chapter 609 We Attack, You Attack!

The game took an exhilarating turn between the 60th and 72nd minutes, with both teams unleashing a flurry of heart-pumping attacks. It was a football frenzy that left everyone on the edge of their seats.

The Barcelona and Juventus players threw caution to the wind and engaged in a game of high-octane football. The once tiki-taka style of Barcelona and Juventus' midfield compactness were nowhere to be seen. It was as if the players had all gone rogue, throwing all tactics out of the window and playing with reckless abandon.

The tension was palpable, and the excitement was at an all-time high as both teams went head-to-head in a thrilling match for the ages. With every passing moment, it seemed like the game could swing in either direction.

Barcelona would surge forward with lightning-fast speed that could rival the world's top sprinters, leaving Juventus scrambling to keep up. But just when it seemed like Barcelona had the upper hand, Juventus would make a startling comeback, snatching the ball and launching a counterattack that had fans on the edge of their seats, breathless with anticipation. It was a match that would go down in history as a true battle of champions.

Picture this: twelve minutes of heart-pounding action, with speedsters like Lionel Messi, Neymar, Luis Suárez, Dani Alaves, Zachary Bemba, Kingsley Coman, Carlos Tevez, and Stephan Lichtsteiner bringing their A-game to the field.

These speedsters were on fire, receiving the ball from their defensive counterparts and taking off like lightning bolts, driving through the field with all their might, exploiting gaps in the opposing formation, and attempting to score. It was raw and pure attack-minded football at its very best.

The theme for those minutes was clear - "We attack, you attack!" And attack they did, with raw and relentless energy, leaving tactics and formations behind.

But despite the sheer brilliance on display, the score remained unchanged for a long time. Barcelona was leading 3:2 against Juventus, but the game was far from over. The pressure was intense, and the fans were at the edge of their seats, waiting for the moment when everything would change.

And finally, after minutes of unrelenting action, the moment arrived during the 72nd minute. The players' hard work and determination paid off, and the game reached a new level of excitement.

Kingsley Coman cut into the pitch from the left wing as if his ass was on fire. He fed the ball past Ivan Rakiti?, one of Barcelona's midfielders, before beating him for pace.

The Frenchman quickly approached the box and pulled the trigger from a position thirty yards away from the goal. He blasted the ball and sent it towards Barcelona's goal before any other opponent could close him down.

But luck seemed to elude Juventus again, and the ever-energetic Javier Mascherano threw himself forward and blocked the shot with his chest. The Barcelona man did his job perfectly for the umpteenth time during the game and sent the ball toward the left side of the box.

Jordi Alba, the Barcelona left-back who was 'just' returning from an attacking position, met the ball that had just been cleared by his defensive counterpart. The Spaniard wasted no time before turning around and unleashing a pass forward. He fed the ball along the touchline on the left flank and quickly found Neymar, Barcelona's left forward.

Yet another counterattack was on for Barcelona, and Neymar couldn't waste the opportunity. He sprinted along the touchline on the left before eventually cutting into the pitch and playing a brilliant forward pass toward Luis Suárez, his counterpart on Barcelona's offensive front.

That pass from Neymar was something else. The release was perfect and inviting for a talented forward like Luis Suárez. And, of course, the vampire in the box did what he usually did best.

Suárez timed his run well to escape the harassment from Leonardo Bonucci. He then expertly met the ball on the turn and unleashed a hell of a shot towards the goal from the edge of the box.

Luckily for Juventus, Buffon, the experienced keeper, did his job well once again. He dived the right way and punched the ball back into the pitch, hoping to save the day.

The Juventus players and fans were about to let out sighs of relief. But then again, another twist happened.

The ball punched by Buffon fell toward the just arriving Neymar, who did the needful. The Brazilian siphoned the momentum out of the ball with meticulous control before quickly pinging it forward. He found the back of the net and scored Barcelona's fourth goal for the night during the 73rd minute.

"Merda! Porca miseria!" Buffon cursed. His face fell as he saw the Barcelona players sprinting towards the corner flag, arms raised in triumph.

The Juventus keeper had been filled with hope as his team had fought back from a three-goal deficit to narrow the gap to just one during the second half. But just when he thought they were about to pull off a sensational comeback, Barcelona hit them with a devastating counterattack and scored their fourth goal of the night.

Buffon could only shake his head in frustration and curse his team's bad luck. It was a bitter pill to swallow, but he knew they would have to regroup and come back stronger after the restart.

"Guys! Don't give up. Don't give up! We still have more than a quarter of an hour to play. We have time to score two more goals."

Zachary's voice suddenly sounded in Buffon's ears, further reminding the shot-stopper that they couldn't surrender yet. His spirits lifted, and the discouraged look disappeared from his face. Heart brimming with fighting spirit, he fetched the ball from the back of the net and threw it towards the center.

The already-waiting Carlos Tevez received the ball and placed it atop the center spot with all the haste he could muster. A minute later, when the Barcelona players finally finished celebrating, the game restarted with Juventus' kick-off.

With just the first few touches, everyone watching could tell that Juventus meant business. The Old Lady players showed their fighting spirit through their sharpness on the ball. And for the first time that evening, they played brilliant passes that wowed the spectators and pushed Barcelona back into its own half.

The game continued taking a strange turn, with the Italian giants using some of the tactics Barcelona had used against them during the first half. They avoided the crowded middle areas and relied on brilliant wing play from Kingsley and Pereyra to repeatedly bombard Barcelona's box with never-ending crosses.

The passage of play was on the side of Juventus, and as a result, Zachary's talent finally bloomed in great splendor. He remained on his toes, working hard on and off the ball, doing whatever he could to create opportunities until a sure chance finally came his way.

Everything started with Kingsley Coman, who was playing the football of his life. The Frenchman got to the end of a forward pass from Claudio Marchisio, and he sent a first-time cross towards the box from a position just a few meters away from the touchline.

Tevez, the striker lurking around the box, leaped high to meet the cross. But the ever-spirited Gerard Piqué won the aerial battle and cleared the danger with his head.

Fortunately for Juventus, the clearance wasn't the best, and Zachary managed to collect the second ball right at the edge of the box. Without waiting for anyone to close him down, he decided to pull the trigger. He skillfully unleashed a snap shot that deflected off Javier Mascherano's leg before homing into the back of the net.
