Barcelona will be able to tie its own Champions League record by insisting on two 3-3 games.

After 3:3 in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, many celebrities unanimously proposed an old concept - away goals. Yes, Inter Milan is indeed a bit unfair. He scored 3 goals away from home, and there was no benefit at all. Henry is still a former Barcelona player, and even he speaks for Inter Milan. A team that scored three goals away has no advantage, which is unreasonable.

But I think that since there are no rules for away goals now, don’t talk about the old emperor’s history. Let’s assume that if we still look at the away goal now, will the two sides still have such a big opening and closing? Therefore, all reality can be combined with existing rules, and what is happening now cannot be put into previous rules. In the last century, the goalkeeper allowed his teammates to receive the ball back. So, isn’t even the famous mistakes of Donnarumma, Neuer and Lori to overturn the case?

In fact, from the perspective of neutral fans, 3:3 is much more cute than 0:0. At least, Rafinia, Yamal, and Dumfries' wonderful goals are real. If I only win one goal, then I would rather watch a game of 3:2, 4:3, which is much better than 1:0. What? Can't football be just a goal? OK, I hope every game you watch for the rest of your life is 0:0 with extremely high technical and tactical content.

This season, Barcelona's output is really great. I won’t talk about the league. Just looking at the Champions League, Barcelona has already played several big scores. In the first stage, Barcelona hit Bayern 4:1 hard, and in the quarterfinals, Barcelona swept Dortmund 4:0. Although I failed to win this game with Inter Milan, I scored 3 goals, maintaining Barcelona's usual strong firepower.

As of now, Barcelona has played 13 games this season, scoring a total of 39 goals, averaging exactly 3 goals per game. Since the reform of the Champions League, very few teams have reached this level. Speaking of this, we will introduce a data, that is, the total number of goals scored by a team in the Champions League in a single season. Barcelona's 39 goals data, is there more or less? Let's put it this way, although the possibility is slim, as long as Barcelona insists on the 3-3 output of two more games, they can tie the goal record of a single team in the Champions League single season that it has maintained.

This record was set by Barcelona in the 1999-00 season, when they scored 45 goals.

That season, Barcelona did not win the championship, but they scored multiple large scores, which directly increased the total number of goals. Then, the group stage was twice, that is, after the group stage was finished, the group stage was not the quarter-finals, but another rematch group stage was held. In this way, the teams that finally reached the finals will play 4 more games compared to the familiar match system. With more games and more bearish matches, the number of goals has been increased. This is why Barcelona didn't even score in the finals that season, but they were able to score so many goals.

In fact, this record should have been broken long ago. From the 19th to 20th, Bayern scored 43 goals, only two goals away from Barcelona's height. But you should know that for well-known reasons, the Champions League schedule was shortened and two games were missing. With the output of Bayern and Lafite, it is not easy to score 3 goals in two games?

Okay, let's go back to Barcelona today. How easy is it to score 6 goals in two games? First of all, whether Barcelona can play two more games or is it a question, who can guarantee that they can defeat Inter Milan in the next round? What's more, you have to score 3 goals at Meyacha Stadium? Even if you reach the final, no matter whether you encounter Paris Saint-Germain or Arsenal, you will find three goals, which is hard to come by.

In fact, Barcelona has scored so many goals this season, which is also due to the change in the match system, which has led to the increase in the number of games. However, since Barcelona did not play in the playoffs, even if they reached the finals, the total number of games was only 15. But this has exceeded the total number of games under the old competition system. Next, it depends on whether Barcelona can follow its own record.
