After watching Flick s half-time adjustment, he understood how he adjusted, and then cracked Newcastle s press

In a typical away match between the Champions League, Barcelona took away a precious three-pointer from the St. James Park Stadium with an ice and fire.

coach Flick's half-time adjustment became the winner of this game. However, the terrifying scene at the last moment of the game reminds us again. This team still has a long way to go before they can become truly mature. The start of the first half of the game, which was suffocating, completely fell into the pace of the home team Newcastle. They used tireless high-pressing to create huge trouble for Barcelona's goal in the backcourt. Pedri and De Jong were almost locked in a cage by their opponents and could not comfortably take the ball and turn around. The defense line composed of Conde, Araujo and KuBazi was once in trouble.

The entire first half, the war was almost burning in Barcelona's half. Lewandowski and Rashford on the front line are difficult to obtain effective support. Apart from Rashford utilizing his personal abilities and hit Trippier several times on the wing, home goalkeeper Pope was hardly really tested. On the contrary, Juan Garcia made a world-class key save to protect the city gate.

The whistle sounded at the half-time whistle, and the 0-0 score could even be considered a good result for Barcelona. And Frick was about to take out his scalpel during the break.

The midfielder changed the lineup and then changed sides in the second half, and a completely different Barcelona appeared on the court.

Flick's adjustment seems simple, but it is fatal. He allowed Fermin to change his position away from Lewandowski and closer to the left, thus liberating De Jong and Pedri in the middle. When the two masters in the midfield were finally able to free themselves from their opponent's meat grinder, the balance of the game began to quickly tilt towards Barcelona.

As the midfield control changes hands, Barcelona's defense has also become more stable. Newcastle's attack began to become piecemeal. Rafinia gained more space on the right, and the full-back was able to boldly step forward. Finally, in the 58th minute, Conde made a cross and Marcus Rashford broke the deadlock with an unstoppable header!

Just 9 minutes later, Rashford hit a shocking world wave outside the penalty area, 2-0! St James Park Stadium was silent for a moment.

The final flaw

Leading from 2-0 until the end of the game, Barcelona should have easily killed the game. However, the damn problem occurred again in the last moment.

Just like last season when they played against Inter Milan, the team did not choose to control the ball or take the ball to the corner flag area before the end of the game, but instead wanted to score the third goal. As a result, an unnecessary loss of the ball was immediately hit by the opponent. Juan Garcia was forced to make a thrilling save to avoid the tragedy of being beaten.

This victory is a tactical victory and a reflection of the star's personal ability. But this basin of cold water at the last moment also makes us sober. If you want to go further in the Champions League, what Barcelona needs to learn is not only how to win the game, but also how to kill the game.
