CHAPTER 572: CHAPTER 572: BLIND BREAKTHROUGH! HAZARD ALMOST CONCEDED A GOAL TO CHELSEA!

Now, the gap between the two teams was down to just one goal.

No doubt about it—

For Chelsea, playing away from home, they had already caught a glimpse of victory!!

The game continued.

From this moment on, Chelsea’s players launched a relentless offensive against Barcelona.

Especially Hazard.

It was undeniable—

Since the start of the second half, Hazard had been highly active, eager to prove his worth in this crucial match.

But unfortunately—

Barcelona’s defense remained rock solid.

On the wing—

After receiving the ball, Hazard didn’t hesitate.

With a sudden burst of speed, he attempted to break through Alba’s defense by changing his rhythm.

But again—

Alba wasn’t so easily beaten.

A player with significant defensive experience—

Alba wasted no time.

With a perfectly timed sliding tackle—

He dispossessed Hazard in an instant!!

The ball was lost.

And now, Barcelona had the perfect opportunity for a counterattack!!

Inside Camp Nou—

Tens of thousands of Barcelona fans erupted in excitement, chanting Alba’s name.

Without hesitation—

Alba, after regaining possession, launched a precise long pass straight into the penalty area—

Finding Suarez.

The Uruguayan forward expertly leaned against Chelsea’s center-back, Rüdiger.

And in the very next second—

Suarez took his shot!!

The movement was fluid—

Giving the defenders no time to react.

In the blink of an eye—

The ball was rocketing toward goal!!

Dangerous!!!

But thankfully—

At the critical moment, goalkeeper Courtois showcased his brilliance.

With lightning-fast reflexes—

He stretched out his right hand and made an incredible save!!

Clean. Precise. Perfect!!

Suarez’s thunderous strike—

Denied by Courtois in spectacular fashion!!

On the sidelines—

Coach Conte nearly lost his balance in shock!!

Inside the live broadcast room—

Commentator Zhan Jun couldn’t hide his excitement:

"Suarez’s shot came out of nowhere!! It completely caught Chelsea’s defenders off guard!! Fortunately, Courtois reacted just in time to make that crucial save!!"

Zhan Jun continued:

"But Chelsea needs to rethink their tactics..."

"If Hazard hadn’t forced that risky breakthrough attempt on the wing, Barcelona might not have gotten such a dangerous counterattack opportunity!!"

Indeed—

Barcelona’s counterattack stemmed from Hazard’s reckless decision.

Clearly, he had been too confident in his individual abilities.

And as Chelsea’s head coach—

Conte immediately recognized the problem.

Without hesitation—

He rushed to the touchline, shouting hysterically:

"DEFENSE!! DEFENSE!!"

"Prioritize defense first!! Don’t rush forward recklessly!!"

Conte knew it well—

During this phase of the match, Barcelona would be desperate to extend their lead.

And that was the last thing Conte wanted to see.

Barcelona’s attack was razor-sharp.

Give them an inch—

And Chelsea’s defense could collapse in an instant.

The game continued.

Barcelona’s players began controlling the tempo.
